Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

creative extra-legal methods. I knew guys who could make a
house go empty in 24 hours for a fee

such guys could easily be charged with a&b among other things.

It only works with the type of tenants who are very unlikely to
complain to the authorities for some reason.

In local news we had a mix of snow, hail and rain on May 29th and I
awoke to an inch of snow the next morning. Kind of late in the year
for that sort of nonsense!

Roslind and Yuan, the lady who does her lashes are now exchanging
food gifts at every appointment. Yuan received some frozen arctic
char fillets and we got homemade che troi nuoc (glutinous rice balls
in ginger syrup) and other kind of che made with taro cubes in a
banana coconut cream sauce. The rice balls were awesome; the taro,
not so much.

And I finally got a taste of some takeout food from Savannah's
Kitchen, the new Somalian restaurant operating out of the old
steakhouse/wine bar called The Cellar (appropriately it was below
grade in the basement of a building). Savannah is actually
Italian-Canadian but she is married to a Somali guy.

As I mentioned to Nancy last month Somali food has similarities to
Ethiopian food in some ways but is also a blend of influences from
Italy, India and the Middle East as well.

I had two large deep fried, not baked, beef samosas which were nicely
spiced with Xawaash and came with little cups of tzatziki and a green
chile chatney. They were wonderful and I plan to take Roslind there
soon for a full sitdown meal.

The menu is short and they are not licensed ...
