I always take things like Pataks or Thai curry paste as a starter (if I use them at all), then add fresh spices and aromatics on top of it. Though you've linking the dry spice packs instead of the jars, that's probably a good thing as I find the jars to have odd flavours. Especially the madras; it has quite a funny taste.

Especially with the Thai curry paste. You add some fresh galangal, lime leaf, lemongrass, and chili to a spoon of prepared paste and you're eating like a king. 

On the island there's a blended powder called Dickson's Curry Powder. It's usually somewhat strong on the turmeric and clove, but it's a great way to start a dish, then add whatever else you'd like to from there. 

Pretty sure only people on the island know of this powder as the only place I've ever seen it is the 49th Parallel grocery stores, though it could easily be elsewhere. 

Fairways has a solid selection of ethnic ingredients. Not sure if I've seen Dickson's, but they have an array of ingredients and sauce bases you can't find anywhere else

Yeah that's true about Fairways. 

Come to think of it, I think I've seen Dickson's in Country Grocer, but like 49th Parallel this would still be a mid-island thing. 

Now I'm in Burnaby and ethnic anything is pritner everywhere.

@Tortorella's Rant

They get gift wrapped McDavid and draft Draisaitl (as a result of sucking monkey balls in the regular season) yet somehow worsen the Oilers goaltending & blueline.  That in a nutshell sums up Oilers management.  And I'm loving every minute of it.

It's amazing how they have different coaches, management, the seeds for a contender, and go backwards 

^ the head of the snake (Katz) is still the owner (and Kevin Lowe is still lurking in the background).

I can see us being a for sure playoff team next year and a very competitive team in 2020-21 for the cup! Get some assets this year and build for a young cup run in 2020!

I mean, I just meant in general, but I'll take a good year for the Canucks too 

At least they have a nice new arena in Edmonton 

Damn, at least McDavid has a mountain of cash to console him

McDavid to Vancouver for a bag of pucks

I like individual Oilers, like McDavid, Kassian, Khaira, and Bear is my buddy's cousin, but it's the organization I can't stand. 

Or go back to the early 2000s jerseys from the Smyth/Conklin era, and maybe I'd reconsider my disdain for them 

I want the Oilers to miss the playoffs in the last game of the season

I'm going to laugh pretty hard when McNugget demands a trade to an NHL team.

Not sure any NHL team would want Nylander until he at least showed he was at least willing to attempt to make an acceptable effort in the playoffs.  He's lucky he hasn't been suspended without pay for being too lazy.

leafs fans arent talking about tanev at all, and really never have. its all about what can they do to get rid of gardiner xD

They can have Luke Schenn for free.

Amazing!  Such important work.  I worked with autistic children for a year and a half and it was difficult at times but SO fulfilling.  They are incredible!  I actually took a bunch of them to the LA game where we clobbered them 5-0 (I think).  Wasn't sure how it would go as it's a very stimulating atmosphere...however, it was a huge success!  A great memory for me.

I'm amazed at how much community work is and has been a part of Canucks culture. It definitely looks like they're able to do a lot of good work in Vancouver!

It's really great when sports teams use their platform to support well deserving organizations.   Sadly, our school for severely autistic kids closed due to funding shortfalls...the parents were distraught.  The Gov't doesn't always "get" how important it is to offer services for these children and that it saves them  $$ in the long run to provide support for them.  The issue was the various Ministries don't like to "share" projects/funding.  So you're either deemed Mental Health OR Education...can't be both.  Which is ridiculous.  They don't like to work together to meet demands it seems.  Some of the kids were forced back into the public system, which is horrifying for the ones not yet ready for that.   Was a sad day when we shut down.

thats right @debluvscanucks the nux will have to give up enough as it stands, our fan base might be divided on the orca logo but i'm willing to bet there's more pro orca fans than real seattle fans combined

they seem to be partial to lime green ,they can go with that ,they are the enemy , I hate em aleady  

Me too.  No more Mr. Nice Guys.  I won't give a rival anything but directions to the bus station.

Ray has no sympathy.  

where did you get my picture, chon?

@smithers joe the hotel room 

Who and when? I'm in!!

Oilers vs Coyotes 

I wonder if it will be cold? 

I got a soft spot for him. He’d always become my starting goalie in NHL 15 to 17 GM mode. 

He does have one win.

unless they are holding their mouths wide open with their fingers when they say it. the dirty baskets.

I wonder what Nikki Shiz is doing...

Saniel has a special place in CDC history.

Holy Goshness..yes Saniel Dedins is missed! I remember him claiming his GDT(if mods allowed him!) would rocks our worlds.

...Guy was a beaut

I'd be ok with a two day work week. LOL. 

Same

i like my no day work week. i don't miss working at all.

Prefer they flushed the loo & became the Nords

I always liked this jersey ,being a north coast kinda guy , but thats  all , hate the team .

hook a rug to throw on the floor. that is probably easier than big game hunting in africa or skinny ski diving.

you could always combine curling with ice fishing, but the curling rink may not appreciate you cutting hole on their ice sheets. have you ever tried ballroom or square dancing? then there is always, the bingo game. 

@Baer. I've thought about it. Running's also miserable when it's -20 and there's icy patches everywhere  

@smithers joe believe it or not, I've actually thought about ballroom or salsa dancing! I just need to find a ballroom or a salsa I can dance in  

I also predict Dubas is going to become the next Gillis.  Sounds like he is not only trying to win every deal, but mop the floor with the opposing GM in the deal.  Pretty soon he will have no teams to deal with as GMs move on.

I mean, it's whatever.

The fact is, Marner, Matthews, and Nylander, and Tavares are incredibly fun to watch. I don't have the energy to be salty towards a team that's done nothing to the Canucks.

**** the Leafs.

That piece of **** Kadri still on that team?  That should be enough to loathe them.

Alf keeps coming up to me and sings:

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir...

@Cramarossa I've learned manquer very little comparatively (won't be on the final), but I think you're right. This whole sentence turned out to be a doozy  

Lefluer, Lemeix, Belliveau, Potine.  That's about it for my French.  

They'll win now since they got Hawkeye 

They will win now since they got Ant-man  

Yeah, pretty much. 

There's a definite need for changes because some colleges are hyper-reactive these days especially since the whole metoo thing started.  The problem is that DeVos is trying to move everything to the other extreme and make reporting even more difficult than it needs to be.

Figured haha, just wanted to make sure. 

Thanks!

Are they located downtown?  Jazz said everywhere but downtown has power again.

I'm not sure, I hadn't heard anything about it but I assume they'd have been affected as well. Apparently much of the city has power back (my house does), although not everyone does still.

@SabreFan1 There's one hospital located near downtown, but none in the heart of the city.

Here's the updates to the power outage: https://www.saskpower.com/about-us/our-company/blog/crisis-event

Was it Quebec, where the power went out last summer, and several elderly people in an old folks' home died because of the heat?  Power outages are scary.  I hope all the elderly are okay.
