I signed up in 2011 & last used it in 2015. So many social networks!

I went for a long walk in the sun along Wall Street in #eastvan.
My shadow posed for pictures at the parks along the way, facing the water and the North Shore mountains.
Take out from Aleph Eatery, a Middle Eastern inspired vegan restaurant.
This is the Shawarma Rice Bowl, made with Enoki mushrooms, plus a side of hummus.
Fresh & good. Recommended!
Perfectly fitting that I’ve had @kartick_vad’s Enjoy the Best, Not The Latest, Media sitting open in a tab for months.
And niches, too:

This is one of two hot chocolate + pastry combos we got at Bench Bakehouse as part of the Vancouver Hot Chocolate festival: a kouign aman covered in caramel & filled with maple cream. The sign photo has the full decadent list of flavours.

Unexpectedly pleased with tonight’s dinner, which I call Balti Chicken with Noodles.

I met with @flancian this morning, and he took notes in his [[Boris Mann]] page on his [[agora]].
I love that he captured my [[chicken fingers vs. tentacles]] quote.
