i went to andy's iga yesterday, (142 st and 89 ave in edmonton), and they have it on the shelves again- the last time they stocked it they had 6 or 8 bottles on the shelves, this time they had at least 30, so maybe the supply problems are over.
Cuts like a knife, and it feels so right: where to sharpen your beloved blades in Vancouver
good point greyelf. my apologies. it was more the song, which i hate, than it was your post.
Cuts like a knife, and it feels so right: where to sharpen your beloved blades in Vancouver
the lyrics are: "Now it cuts like a knife, But it feels so right" If you're trying to show how "hip" you are by making references to popular music, then: a) pick a song a little more contemporay, and b) get the lyrics right.

Edmonton, Canada.......
Doan's? I gave up on Doan's. The last time I went to the Downtown location with my SO the service was horrible- every bit of the experience took too long- we waited too long to be seated, we waited too long for our drink order, we waited too long for our meal order, we waited too long for our food, and we waited too long for the bill.
We were not the only ones not impressed with the service. When the waitress brought a beer to a guy sitting at a table next to us, he refused to take it because he had been waiting too long for the beer.
I have not been there in years, so i cant comment on the service these days. I would go back to give it another chance except that I have found much better Vietnamese places in Edmonton.

looking for nice clumpy rice
whenever i eat at a chinese restaurant the rice always sticks together in nice clumps- which makes for easy eating with chopsticks. when i make rice at home in my rice cooker, it never sticks together- any suggestions? thanks in advance.
