I have to plug community colleges. George Brown CC in Toronto has a fantastic culinary program where you can take intro/interest courses. I took their knifes skills course and haven't looked back. Learning the proper technique is key!

When we moved into our house it smelled like wet hamster. The smell disappeared for a while, only to return when it rains. Our home is 110yr old home - I figure the hamster smell "adds character"

Loblaws in Toronto has really started pushing re-useable bags and sell a great one for $1. They give a discount regardless of who's name is on the bag. I usually don't need more than 3 (they're big and hefty) and so many people use them now you almost feel guilty asking for plastic.

Ironically, No frills (loblaws super budget chain) charges 3 cents per plastic bag.

My flavour shaker also broke after 2 or 3 uses...the edge chipped and no longer kept the seal. It worked well the 2 times I used it - but was returned shortly after! I like my mortar and pestle

I grew up on a Jersey farm where we got our milk directly from the cooler (after it'd gone through a filter but before it was pasteurized). Every morning grabbing the milk from the fridge involved a rigourous shaking of the pitcher - delish!
