The Brooklyn style pizza from Dominos.  It is actually a million times better than their regular pizza.  Very thin.. but not huge enough.

Sobeys now sells bacon flavoured cheese.  Looks like nobody is buying it because it was on sale.

Went for high tea at Cafe Cristal. It was about $30.

Cheaper than Chateau Laurier but still pretty good

Bubble waffle (egg waffle) and strawberry bubble tea from Red Gables in Carp.   The waffle was kind of  pancake texture (not crispy at all).  It had whipped cream and fruit.  I got the bursting boba in my tea.  I think I prefer the regular tapioca pearls.

I made the adulterer's chili again

Dark cherry truffle Aero (disgusting) and McDonalds Filet-o-Fish tartar sauce.  The sauce didn't make my fish sticks taste like Filet-o-Fish AT ALL :(

Pasta made in the InstantPot in 4 minutes.

Thums Up from Nasa Food Centre.  It just tasted like pepsi or coke to me.

Putting Big Mac sauce on a sandwich did not make it taste like a big mac at all. :(

Hot & sour soup in the Instant Pot... it didn't taste right.  This recipe needs adjusting.
