Thanks to @chad I found out it's International Doughnut/Donut Day! Good thing I travelled down Waterloo Region's (unofficial) Doughnut Trail a couple of weeks ago to find some awesome independent doughnutteries.

Dear Editor. There may be some cat hair in this next set of review dinner pics.

Rufus wouldn’t relinquish the sunbeam. And yes, I have other pics.

It’s been so long since I pleasure read. Savouring a few moments while I pick up a review dinner.

ICYMI, Pics from my latest resto review dtk's The Humble Lotus. I'm happy to share my adventures, but this one...I'm super happy about. A la carte sushi and SE Asian bowls, made by a fantastic family focused on doing good in the community.

And I just realised I got my dates confused and submitted my next review a week early!

Normally, that's not an issue, but with so many places shutting their doors, it can be a problem (I've walked into places to review only to find out they'e on their unannounced last days). Luckily, this place isn't in danger or closing between now and next week.

And my latest review has been submitted 12.5 hours before deadline.

I really like this place, but I may have a snootle of something.

Realised I had barely enough January minutes left on the AI transcriber to do one more interview. Funnily enough, it didn’t know what to do with Nigel’s miaoing.

ICYMI, My first review of 2023 (and my first review since contracting Covid in November) is up!

Starting off the eating year at dtk's The Guanaquita, for Salvadoran and Latino dishes is a delicious thing. Pictured is their Guanaquita Platter -- pupusa, tamale, Salvadoran enchilada and pastelito.
