""Patriotic" Thieves Take Victory Bonds," Montreal Star. May 7, 1943. Page 3. --- BURGLARS broke into the Atlas Dry Goods Company store at 2038 St. Lawrence boulevard last night, smashed open the safe, and stole $700 in cash and $1,200 worth of Victory Bonds.

The thieves entered an adjoining vacant house and first tried to pierce a hole through through the wall between the two buildings. Unsuccessful, they next broke through a skylight to the roof crossed to the Atlas Building and chopped an opening to the second floor. It was then an easy matter to reach the safe and smash it. The theft was only discovered at 9 a.m. today.

Day 359 - This is already slowly collapsing under it's own weight and is going to crack like hell as it dries but. It Malroth.

How do u like to make ur rice and beans? What kinda beans?? Ngl it sounds good but I’m just imagining a can of baked beans 😅

omg. its pretty basic! i make mine in an instant pot but i saute onions and jalapeños, then use brown rice, black beans, diced tomato, cumin, chili powder, garlic, salt, pepper, lime juice, and vegetable stock. after its cooked i mix in fresh green onion and cilantro, and then garnish with more fresh cilantro, green onion, jalapeño, and lime as needed when i serve it up ^_^

I love having contamination ocd and by love i mean i just invented a ritual to "decontaminate" a thing that was stored in a smelly space bc im scared to death of that stink making my food unsafe and now i have to present this to roomie and hope she keeps her judgement internal and does the thing and not forces me to eat something im scared to or me throwing a fit and it getting thrown out.

Episode-appropriate cider purchase this evening

ok i was going to make banana bread (with "the blackest I've ever seen in my life" - Dana 2023) but my other half has used up all but 2 tbsp of brown sugar.

googled substitutions for it because i dont wanna fuck up and every american blog is telling me i can make it at home with staples that are guaranteed to be in my pantry. well guess what, i dont have molasses.

so now i want to cry.

This is the one I always make btw.

Have to go buy the yarn I donated :/

“WOMAN POINTS GUN AT HOLD-UP MEN,” Montreal Gazette. January 6, 1933. Page 9. ---- Seizes Rifle While Robbers Are Pushing Husband Into Rear ---- Faced with a woman who pointed a rifle at them while her husband in the rear lane shouted for the police, two gunmen who attempted to hold up the dry goods store of Michel Dasash, 278 Mount Royal avenue east, at 10.30 o'clock last night, were scared away,

The woman and her husband were in tho store when two young men entered. One of them produced a a revolver and ordered Mr. and Mrs. Dasash to hold up their hands. They obeyed and the gunmen forced Dasash to the rear room of the store, where a door leads to a lane. Dasash opened tho door and rushed out shouting for the police.

In the meantime the gunmen returned to the store and walked to tho cash wicket and ordered Mrs. Dasash to hand over the money in the till. Instead she presented a rifle and the surprised intruders turned and fled without gaining any booty. 

Later Mr. and Mrs. Dasash gave vague descriptions of the two men to Sergeant Detectives Coulombe and Bourdon, declaring they were young.

they spent ten minutes in this adventuring party talking about how much they dont like salads, and describing the most dry, unappetizing version of a salad, only to follow it up with everyone agreeing that 'as soon as you start putting stuff that tastes good in there its no longer a salad'

Good grief. I live inside a city in order to have the benefits of living INSIDE a city. Honestly, it was a real step down for me moving from a major world class city to a … uh … extremely isolated regional city.

And over the years Gaslight City did indeed grow and become more “city like”

But this whole pandemic situation coupled with the end result of inflation and higher interest rates too has ended up regressing the whole region into sleepy, suburban-esque, and everything shuts down way too early. Nothing is open on ‘Murican holidays because everything is all very very American pie and wonderbread.

Look. Maybe I am being really cranky and snotty here but ffs, this downgrade to my life is now downgrading even further.

I gotta get out of this place.
