I guess I signed up to get notified of new releases of the Numbeo Cost of Living Index by City. It’s a comparative baseline with NYC as 100%, and there are 362 entries.
Canadian cities start with Victoria at 52nd to Halifax at 83rd. There’s a second cluster with Mississauga at 103rd to Edmonton in 124th place.

The Dystopia is doing great, thanks for asking.
This was a test of a security system at a construction site that I walked past on the weekend. Original audio!
Bread is complete. I’ll let it cool, wrap it, and see how it tastes for breakfast tomorrow.
The “no knead” technique was first widely shared in 2006 in the NY Times Cooking section.
Here’s my entry for it in the FoodWiki.

Chad and his wife Kumie gave me a bit of their family miso back in June, in a container in this bag with instructions.
- cool dark place
- mix once in summer
- ready to eat fall
And: おいしくなった, roughly translated as “it will have become delicious”
It is delicious! Thank you friends!

We were in North Van today and went to a Filipino restaurant Alloz Grill for lunch.
I had garlic rice with beef stew & a sour tamarind pork soup (pictured), Rachael had all-day-breakfast Longsilog. We got a leche flan to take home.

Overnight rise of No-Knead bread recipe. It’s been a long time since I’ve attempted bread.

Trying out Phở Jade “the place for noodle soup lovers”.
It’s got a pretty big menu. I tried a large bowl of pho with all the meats to get a baseline.
It’s good! Fragrant floral broth.

Turns out it’s Timbertrain’s 10th anniversary — and they’re doing a giveaway raffle if you subscribe to their newsletter.
This is my #EastVan local and before that the #Gastown location was our afternoon macchiato stop.

Rachael got started shovelling, I finished it off and did the sidewalk.
I took the second picture where you can see it’s snowing enough to start covering things again.

Jazzed my way through making a beef stew with lots of onions, red wine, and roasted red peppers.
It’s similar to Spanish Chilindron, when I went to go look for recipes afterwards.
I was thinking about paprika, but just added some tomato paste & Calabrian chillies right at the end.

I got all my Google Maps saved places exported and imported into FacilMap.
But! They’re all just labelled as “Point” and lost the name of the business.
More research on GeoJSON and FacilMap import formats needed.
I made up a recipe for Whole Wheat Coconut Waffles. It’s a modification of the Buttermilk Waffles recipe I use with my vertical waffle maker.

Went to Jang Mo Jib on Robson for lunch. Had Gahl Bee Tahng with all the fixings. It’s a nice second floor space!

Cocktail orange for breakfast. Also known as a mandelo, for “Mandarin + Pomelo”.
All citrus are actually hybrids of mandarin, pomelo, and citron (chart via Wikipedia).
I collected some links on the FoodWiki and learned about the UC Citrus Experiment Station.

Some fun packaging at the Sungiven Foods at City Square. Sungiven is pretty great, with stores all over Metro Vancouver.
Photos are of Soda crackers (sea salt) aka shark edition, and (chive) aka caveman and dinosaur buddy.
I didn’t buy candied olives, but I did buy candied plums.

Went to the new Oidé Coffee location at the Waterfall Building near Granville Island.
Black sesame pastry is very tasty!

Dragon fruit for breakfast. Bought it at the Sungiven when I went to City Square Centre for Nine Dumplings yesterday.

I’m wandering around #Vancouver today.
If anyone is around in the next couple of hours, I’m going to go for lunch at Nine Dumplings.
I’ve been told it’s now in the City Square Centre food court.
I guess I’ll tag this a #FediMeetup
After several months of tinkering with Cloudron, the server management system you install on your own Ubuntu server for self hosting apps, I put together some notes on it, including total costs and a description about apps / types of services it can provide.

I added Rio Friendly Meats, a butcher at 2477 E Hastings in #EastVan, to #OpenStreetMap via Organic Maps.

Learning that Apple Maps has guides (collections of places) and ability to contribute photos to places (I don’t really ever use it).
Organic Maps has bookmarks which can be organized into lists.
Here’s Bloedel Conservatory, a classic #Vancouver destination for me when it rains for weeks.
I think the future is divergent mutual incomprehension and that’s good.
