Walmart has my favorite fruits on sale. Red or green grapes and colored bell peppers.
Are Bell peppers considered fruit?:huh:

You want grapes? come chez moi, all you can eat! got more than anyone can eat and everyone giving a ton! Best green peppers and figs too!

Tipping should be reserved for great service, not people just doing their job. There are a lot of great servers out there who add something extra when you sit down. Those are the ones you show appreciation for. Ones who can't be bothered even filling up your water or engaging in a little pleasant conversation do not deserve a tip.
Has it chnaged in Quebec but were wait staff not paid less than minimum wage and rely on tips?

Waiters are paid about 9 dollars an hour, yes. Kitchen crews anywhere up of 16. I have a decade and a half of experience and the best I could find is about double that as a salary, which is... almost not enough to live lol.

Just tip until the tipping thing disapppears guys, no one that is on a salary in the restaurant business lives like a king and we work ourselves to the bone.

Still the same then,need to tip the wait staff. Much prefer the European way of service and VAT in the price you see on the menu. If It's 20 Euro,it's 20 Euro,etc.
Working for others seldom makes anyone flush but some of the ones I know that own their own establishments,some are doing extremely well.

Yes the red sea is a body of water that is not fresh water but salty,so what? you prefer fresh water? Don't know of any fresh water spots that are awesome for scuba diving.

Servers make a killing on tips and don't report them all come tax time. If you get minimal service you don't deserve a tip.

Yes, just like tomatoes, eggplants, pumpkins, gourds, watermelons, it's botanically correct.
When they classified fruits and vegetables and berry and what not,gotta wonder what they were thinking. When I'm snacky,I'll have some fruit,apple,orange banana,mango, never gone for a pepper or a tomato:loony::badidea::laugh:

not all servers are created equally.
Nor are all restaurants,some are pretty cheap and then you have some that will cost a ton,tip accordingly.

I meant no disrespect. The higher the density, “salinity” in this case, of a liquid will keep temperatures stable longer than less dense liquids. The Red Sea is beautiful, warm, dense, and has some insane aquatic life in it. I will never forget the hospitality/kindness we received in Hurghada! They took the jet skis away after the first day lmfao!

It has to do with seed production; take the mango for example, it's called a stone fruit, like cherries, olives, peaches and avocadoes.

A similar experience happened to me when I moved to BC. We had 2 cherry trees on the property and they produced like mad. One was your everyday dark red sweet Bings, but the other smaller tree was a Queen Anne. They look like tiny apples and were the best tasting cherries I've ever had. We gorged ourselves until we couldn't eat no more.

Cherries are great! haven't had one in a while though;):laugh:

Ya it has to do with the seeds,pit. banana is a berry. Gonna get some great peaches soon,white ones with a red line:vhappy:

IIRC the shrooms I would get came from there,good job!:thumbu::thumbu:

I have no say in the matter,can only say that conduct yourself as you like as do I and most.
I know what you're saying but have to think that location is also has some role in sustaining a rather moderate temperature.
Look at the temp in Cape Cod,in winter it's almost at freezing temp and summer close to 70f where as the Caribbean is almost the same year round,varies of course but not as drastically as the Cape.

You checked out Orange bay? decades ago it was something else,not sure Id' go to that part now though.

Did you hear about the Funguyz? They tried opening a shop in Montreal, they have several in Toronto. The cops shut it own almost as soon as it opened.
Nope! never heard of them, they sound fun though:laugh:
I was surprised that there are so many variation and look so different. I suppose now they are all greenhouse types?:dunno:
Heard of magic truffles? pretty much the same thing but legal in the NL for the time being where mushrooms are not.

Got a lot of ground beef and made this lasagna. It was good but could have been better,felt like something was missing. I'm thinking spicier sausage and maybe pepperoni on top of the cheese.
And a Merci for @peate,I made the Pie as you suggested,very good.:thumbu::thumbu:
