#NationalBeagleDay Jonny & Winston coolest senior beagles on the block

@PennyDaflos Just received invite 9 months after the last booster- says recommended date for the booster us July 2022

Ok, BC tweeps: Who's had an invite for their bivalent booster and how long did it take? The province says invites are going out at the 6 mo mark I just got mine and it was 9 mos to the day since my first booster, but a senior I know got an invite 2 mos after their last booster!

@RayFishFillet @bruce_kirkby @su_dhillon @j_mcelroy Very close to the highway, but not on it. You might be able to see the truck from the highway if you know where to look

@Carpecookie @bruce_kirkby @su_dhillon @j_mcelroy Now is that right as you drive by/into the town?! I can’t remember

I need a deep dive as to why every small town has an A&W strategically located at the main entrance

@bruce_kirkby @su_dhillon @RayFishFillet @j_mcelroy Sparwood, BC has an A&W, it’s first & only fast-food franchise. Located near the Terex Titan, the other attraction in town

@su_dhillon @RayFishFillet @j_mcelroy Kimberley too (it’s pictured 👆🏼)

@JoannaCannon I’ve really been hooked on all of Ronald H. Balson’s novels. His ones based on the holocaust are brilliant and really drew me in: Once We Were Brothers, Karolina’s Twins, The Girl from Berlin, Defending Britta Stein. Different settings and perspectives in each, all excellent.

Hello. Does anyone have a recommendation for either a memoir of a Holocaust survivor, or a novel based on or around this topic? Many thanks. (I have read John Boyne's wonderful novel already)

@amateurgourmet Pure Chocolate by Fran Bigelow

What’s your favorite cookbook that most people don’t know about?

@RexChapman Winston, on the road again

@VancouverPD @keithbaldrey In this deep dive, I’m curious if there are any statistics on how many of the victims were people of colour. What percentage of the crimes might have been racially motivated?

Over the last few months, we've noticed what appears to be an uptick in unprovoked stranger attacks, so we asked our strategic researchers to take a deep dive into the numbers. What they found is concerning: over four people a day are the target of a random, unprovoked assault.

@SigneSJohansen The enchanting series of Inspector Gamache books by Louise Penny. You can read each as a stand-alone, or start at the beginning of the series with Still Life. You will fall in love with the homicide detective and his family and friends, along with the village of Three Pines.

Twitter hive mind, I have a few Audible credits to use and a long-ish train journey tomorrow. Any good audio book recommendations would be much appreciated, tusen takk! 🎧🚂📚

@heyadamroberts Use some to make meyer lemon curd & freeze it. No jars needed. The curd can be used for 101+ desserts including straight up on buttered toast. 16 yolks, 200g sugar, 250g lemon juice, 180g butter. Rub zest into the sugar before cooking.

Someone gifted me 30 Meyer lemons from their tree (!) and I’m overwhelmed. Do I make marmalade? Curd? Limoncello? I feel so much pressure and I don’t have empty jars.

@benwilson1130 Go to a park with lots of trees (shade) and spend the evening there with a picnic. Take a blanket and enjoy the shade. Lots of local parks like this- the ones near a River have even more breeze to cool you off.

With the #HeatWave coming, it seems everyone and their dog have bought up all the portable air conditioners. I checked the #CanadianTire, #HomeDepot and #Walmart websites and they’re all sold out. So, what are your tips on beating the heat? Overnight lows of 20c-ish on the way.

@thehungryhutch Those Shin Ramyun noodles are the best- especially the Gourmet Spicy flavour!

I’ve lived down the street from a Japanese store for almost a decade and I went into it for the first time today. Excited for the mochi butter cake in my future.

@SigneSJohansen I also adore Susan Spungen’s Ginger Chocolate Chunk Cookies year-round leitesculinaria.com/279341/recipes…

Can anyone recommend a few good cookie recipes? I’ve reached the point in this verdammte lockdown when I’ve *had it* with my own recipes 😬 Please and thank you in advance

@SigneSJohansen “World Peace Cookies” (a.k.a. Korova cookies) by Pierre Herme & Dorie Greenspan are always in my rotation food52.com/recipes/25372-…

@FionaForbes Here’s Jonny

@heyadamroberts Classic biscotti- I agree with you. I never liked any biscotti until I tried Dorie Greenspan’s Lenox Almond Biscotti. It’s a crunchy butter cookie with cornmeal for texture disguised in the shape of biscotti. With lemon zest rubbed into the sugar they’re addictive.

Does anyone really like biscotti? C’mon.

@tifflangston Kate Hill has a good one katehill.blogspot.com/2007/11/camp-c…

Hello food friends! Does anybody have a go-to cassoulet recipe? I've never made it before and this is what has been requested of me for Xmas dinner.
