July Jiffs 2024

Lake Ontario

Lake Ontario

I might have to stop complaining about how I’m not a summer person because this past month was such a memorable one. Here’s what went down last month!

  • Nathan made Variety’s 10 Comics To Watch list this year!

  • I continued my Summer Saturdays series because apparently I’m obsessed with summer?

  • The best tweets of the month can be found over here. I also made a list of my favourite summer tweets.

  • I wrote about my favourite caesar salad dressing recipe in honour of its 100th birthday.

  • I tried the soft serve from Seed + Mill and it was unbelievably good. Top three in NYC, hands down.

Soft serve from Seed + Mill, Chelsea Market

  • I finally got to go lane swimming in Mississauga and it was all that I’d hoped it would be and so much more. Fuck Eric Adams for cancelling the lap swims in NYC for yet another summer.

  • The watermelon sangria at Bite is summer in a glass.

  • I finally visited the food hall at Queensboro Plaza and the options looked pretty good! The chicken caesar wrap at Bobwhite Counter was decent, but it’ll always amaze me when places don’t make their own croutons. It’s one tiny little step that makes or breaks it.

Chicken caesar wrap at Bobwhite Counter

  • The coronation chicken salad at Nomad Sandwiches is too good. Cold, curried chicken is not on enough menus in this city.

  • I just saw an ad for this, but Arby’s has a burger now?? Am I the only one this offends?? Their whole thing is that they DON’T do burgers?? That roast beef and cheddar is better than any fast food burger, what the hell is going on? I can handle a lot of things (really I can), but this crosses a line.

  • A reel told me to squeeze lemon on top of watermelon, so I did and it was fantastic.

  • I went to Canada for a little bit since the kids are off for summer break and I think I’m onto something here: yardwork is fun when it’s not your own house.

Airport pickup!

I used a screwdriver to do this and I’m kinda proud of that fact?

  • One of my most beloved hobbies? Before/after photoshoots, apparently.

It’s an illness, really

  • Went to Blue Mountain on a small trip with my family and it was perfect. We swam so much (once in the rain, and I hope everyone swims in the rain at least once in their life) and we also rode the Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster (something that’s been on my list for years), which was so much fun. I also won’t disclose how many times I went to the frozen yogurt place Menchies.

On the mountain coaster!

Parents, Blue Mountain

  • On the drive back from Blue Mountain, we found a farmer’s market-type store in hopes of finding some sponge toffee and dreams can come true.

Worth every penny

  • Ate at Lucia in Toronto and it wasn’t anything special, which was a bit disappointing but the company was everything I wanted so that made up for it.

Marla w/ the best gifts

  • Made these ricotta meatballs that turned out great, if not a bit too soft.

  • We went to Ribfest and I tried my first blooming onion. It was absolutely unreal. How did it take me this long to try one. Also got an oxtail poutine and (finally) the tri-colour popsicle I’ve been waiting on since last summer.

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see

Oxtail poutine, I love this country

I wanted this so badly, I didn’t even care how bad my nails looked

  • The passport office in Mississauga is such a nightmare, it literally took four hours to get renewed (and that’s only because I showed up two hours before it even opened).

  • Tried this soft foot reel I saw (below) and it worked pretty well! I think you have to do it multiple times a week to really see longterm results, though.

  • Went to Spirit Tree Estate Cidery again with my niece Tianna and it remains great. Their daily soup is the main attraction here (we got the seafood chowder).

Tianna at the cidery

  • We also went to Activate again and I think I enjoyed it even more than last time. Obsessed with the hoops room. Makes me wish I had a basketball net.

Activate in Mississauga, ON

  • Went to the Asian Night Market in Mississauga with Harmeet and we got the cold noodles, which were spicy/great. Afterward we went to the Mexican restaurant in the food hall section of Square One (La Carnita) and had such a terrible experience. The short ribs we ordered were awful and our waiter absolutely hated us. And then we went next door to Farzi Cafe, where the drinks were fine but insanely overpriced. What the hell is going on at Square One?

  • I finally got Baby Dog in a kiddie pool and she could actually doggy paddle. It was the cutest thing anyone has ever seen.

  • I just learned about the ready-made sandwiches at Lazar Bakery in Mississauga and my lunches will never be the same again.

  • The foam soaps are the main reason I go to Bath & Body Works, but their bar soaps last such a long time. If you live in the United States then you should definitely get their app - they give you at least one free item every few weeks.

  • Baskin-Robbins rainbow sherbert continues to solve all.

Rainbow sherbert for life

  • I know it’s early, but the pumpkin pie M&Ms are outrageously good.

Pumpkin pie M&Ms

  • Some things I watched:

    • The Bear (season three): Cons first. Okay, I hated the first episode but it’s the weakest one of the whole season. Some of the dialogue is so badly written, it’s hard to watch sometimes. Why the hell was John Cena in it? He isn’t a good actor, let’s cut the shit. Now pros. Ebon is flawless. The Napkins episode was so well written. Jon Bernthal is such a great actor. The Al-Anon support group scene was so good. My jaw dropped at Josh Hartnett making an appearance, I’ll continue to love his renaissance. And I know I’ve complained about the overacting of Jamie Lee Curtis from last season, but I thought the birth episode was the best one of the entire season. That whole episode just captured mothers and daughters so well and how we see that our mothers fail us so much because our expectations of them are too insanely high so when they fall flat of those expectations, how crushing it can be to realize that they’re just human. That episode alone is why I’ll keep watching the show. I do think that a lot can be done towards the development of characters so that we have the time to care about them in the ways that the writers want us to, but there are these pocket episodes that are just so alarmingly true and good. It’s a fantastic show with absolute faults, but the reviews of this season were way too harsh.

    • All of the Naked Gun movies (rewatch): Okay these movies really hold up well. It was too much fun to watch them with the kids who actually really laughed and enjoyed them too. Romeo even referenced one scene weeks later to laugh about it, my heart swelled to say the least.

    • Blowout: It started out interesting and then took a sharp turn, hard pass.

    • Sabrina (rewatch): I was on a Harrison Ford kick and would’ve settled for anything, so this was nice to see again.

    • Twisters (theatres): I really wanted to hate it, but it was a party.

    • Creep (rewatch): Still great!

    • Mulan (live action): Rome insisted on us watching this and it wasn’t bad! I’m pretty anti-live-action, but this was surprisingly good.

    • I Know What You Did Last Summer (rewatch): Love a summer horror movie. There needs to be more seasonal horror movies.

    • The Craft (rewatch): I always forget how much I hate the bug stuff at the end, but it’s still a solid 90s movie.

Some things I’m looking forward to this month: my dear friend Marla is coming to visit (!), cannot wait to see Trap next week, I’m keeping my eye out for any corn based seasonal dishes at the restaurants I love and I can’t wait to start preparations on this year’s costume…

Summer Saturdays Vol. 7

by Liz Heather in Summer Saturdays


BAKING

Found this old recipe from an 80s desserts book and there’s no human way it isn’t the greatest tasting thing of all time.

Butterscotch apple squares

COOKING

Looking up every way possible to make the most of these perfect summer heirlooms.

Look at these mutant beauties

CRAVING

The new M. Night movie Trap came out yesterday so we’re going on Tuesday (the cheap day) and I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a movie.

DRINKING

Making this frozen peach rose slushy tonight.

EATING

The pink lemonade flavoured Oikos yogurt is surprisingly good. Whoever is in charge of their seasonal flavours needs a raise.

EXPERIENCING

There’s something about my parent’s backyard that just makes me feel like I know who I am, I’ll never not love every single season back there.

Parent’s backyard

LISTENING

Don’t get me wrong I love her, but I have a theory that Taylor Swift solely makes certain songs that she thinks people will use over TikToks (ie. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys… c’mon! There’s no way that’s meant as a real song and not dog-owner-bait).

LOVING

Another week of too many things to love:

  • The phone game Heads Up, perfect for passing time with someone.

  • I finally got Baby Dog in a kiddie pool and the girl can swim! Might have been the cutest thing I’ve seen on this green earth.

  • Michaels always puts their Lemax Halloween display up this time of year (someone explain why?) and it sells out within weeks so by the time September comes around that area is (ironically) a ghost town. That being said, I still love getting to see the displays in all their glory.

Fright Night Cinema at Michaels

Phantom Castle at Michaels

  • The extremely dog-friendly Pearson airport (in Toronto) pet relief area - honestly, it’s the best one I’ve ever seen. It’s eons better than the horrid urine-closet they call a pet relief room at LaGuardia.

Pet relief area in Toronto Pearson airport

SHOPPING

The DVD section at suburban thrift stores remains magical. Insanely good finds.

WATCHING

My 13 year niece Maya stayed with me for awhile so I made her watch Creep, I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Craft. It’s called parenting.

WEARING

December Dalliances 2020

by Liz Heather in Beauty, Best of NYC, Drinks, Family, Food, Links, Movies, Personal, Products, Recipes, Reviews


I hope you had the most merry Christmas possible, I really do. Mine was definitely different from our family’s norm, but it still turned out to be intimate and special. I never thought I’d get a Christmas with my parents and Nathan and Baby Dog all together at once, so that’s kind of a wish come true. In such an awful year, it felt so nice to get something so unexpectedly perfect. A part of it felt empty without Gary and Robbie, but if this year has taught me anything it’s to appreciate what you’re lucky enough to have right infront of you.

In other news, are you impressed with how on-time this end-of-month list is this month? I hope you are. I live to impress you. Here’s what went down in December:

  • I recapped how my autumn list went.

  • I made my winter list of things to do for the season because I physically can’t stop making lists. It gives my life a sense of direction.

  • Instagram took away the option to embed your own photos (or changed it & I CAN’T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT), so if you know how to please please god tell me.

  • Great idea of the day: if you have a moment, you can send a letter to become a penpal with a senior citizen who loves to correspond.

  • I’m always a sucker for articles like this at the end of the year.

  • When I was making the Nutella cookies for Christmastime this year, I finally learned how to successfully brown butter! It really helps to use a white-bottomed pan so that you can see the browning process happen.

  • We did the Polar Drive by the airport and it was very cute. Would’ve been perfect for kids.

  • I watched the first episode of the new Saved By The Bell and it was cringe city USA. Just really horrendous. There were oddly maybe two parts that were really funny, so the whole experience was just confusing.

  • Just learned about the existence of mod podge and crafting will never be the same again.

  • Someone on the Food Network suggested mixing ricotta and cheddar for something and I can’t get it out of my head, I never would’ve put those cheeses together but now it’s all that I want to try.

  • Such a good waxing experience at Waxon. The wax they use is like magic, it hurts so much less than at regular waxing places.

  • I have been washing Baby Dog’s face like this almost every night since I saw this video and she loves it.

A post shared by Memes • Comedy • Culture (@memezar)

  • It’s the first time I’ve used it, but I’ve fallen in love with Isle of Paradise’s Self Tanning Drops.

  • Some movies I rewatched: The Craft (god, I love the outfits in this movie), Misery (great winter watch, still makes me sick to watch the feet scene), Reindeer Games (again, just a fun winter movie) and Alive (are you seeing a theme here? Love snowy movies without Christmas overtones).

  • I watched the Love Fraud documentary series and it was really, really good. Especially because in the last episode you get to hear from the main guy its based around.

  • I have been using the cranberry salve from Kiehl’s and it’s such a Christmas-y, great flavour.

  • Good god do I want this shirt. It’s so workman-chic.

  • In love with this white teeny tank I just bought. I have this fantasy of wearing it braless in the streets when we’re all vaccinated. Not sure if this will happen, but in my mind? Christ, it’s hot.

  • I made this cranberry-rosemary julep and yikes it was strong, but not delicious strong. Giada isn’t great at drinks, she should just stick to over-pronouncing Italian pastas and cheeses.

  • I reeeeally wanted this tulle bra from Zara but it sold out before I could get it, so I bought this blush lingerie one instead. I can almost guarantee that when I put it on Nathan will tell me to calm down.

  • Love love LOVING these Aritzia bodysuits.

  • Bought my first crossbody bag from Zara. Worried about how it’ll fit across tits, but we shall see and I will report back.

Please let it snow when I’m lowered into the ground (is this too dark? Even if I mean it?)

  • Currently living in this Zara sweatshirt.

  • Almost all of these leftover stuffing ideas are pure genius.

So many outfits. Maybe 2021? 😩 #italiangreyhound #fallfashion #fyp #dogclothes

  • I’m not a terribly original person, so I’ll forever love a life hack. Love this list.

  • I’ve been using this great hair finish every day for a month because it’s been laying around my parent’s house, but I can’t find it available anywhere online.

  • I made this cranberry brie pistachio wreath that was so, so good (even if you hate brie, which I do).

  • I made these hot chocolate lace cookies that were very good, if not a little too sugary.

I love this time of year

  • In love with these leftover stuffing muffins. As long as you add pancetta to the stuffing.

  • I can’t stop making this kale caesar salad with sweet potato and chickpeas. The dressing is unreal.

  • I dedicated an entire post to the magic that is stuffing.

  • I listed my very favourites from the year.

  • Best tweets of the month ahead.

I guess I can delete the TimePlay app from my phone

Some things that I’m looking forward to this month: all of the snow that’s coming, I’m excited to sit down and listen to Taylor Swift’s evermore album, I still want to watch the newest season of Big Mouth, I’m so f-ing pumped for the return of Riverdale, might bite the bullet and buy this Glossier lip gloss that’s apparently NOT sticky (how is that even possible?), I really want to watch Soul, I can’t wait to make this carbonara on New Year’s Day and I’ll definitely do everything on this list for January 1st. Also, if you’re reading this on New Year’s Eve, then get your ass over here.

If you’ve got any interest in reading last month’s roundup, you can see what went down in November over here.
