Doug Ford calls Toronto lockdown protesters a bunch of selfish "yahoos"

Haha, in other circumstances, I'm sure Dougie would be right there with them. Nice to see he's at least taking it all seriously. I mean it could just be that he doesn't like protests in general, but I suspect a lot of these folks are conservative "open the economy!" types, which should be right up his alley.

Mini cheesecake two ways recipe

Everyone's depressed and stress eating, so it's the perfect time for cheesecake! This is a pretty simple and basic recipe, though it does require a little bit of specialized equipment (in the form of springform pans). We got these amazing little tiny springform pans, so instead of making one giant cheesecake, we could make two teeny ones, and we had enough filling left over to make another couple the following weekend (the filling stays good in the fridge for a week, easily.

For me, the strongest ones on this list are 3, 4, 9, and 10. But it's just anxiety, it's your brain trying to protect you from a perceived threat.

Totally Non-Traditional Saag Paneer (with feta!) Recipe

Saag paneer is an Indian curry dish made from a firm and mild fresh Indian cheese called paneer in a rich and aromatic spinach-based gravy. It is truly delicious (though some people have a hard time getting past the look of the green sauce!). Paneer is not always easy to get your hands on (though it's reasonably easy to make at home), but we like to make the dish with feta cheese instead! My hubby actually came up with this idea and then a week later saw one of the excellent talents on the Bon Appetit YouTube channel doing almost the exact same thing. Timing!

It's a delicious and rich dish, very flavourful and slightly spicy with lots of amazing aromas. The sour and tangy feta cheese adds a lovely zip to everything and complements the spinach very well.

Fried Potato Croquettes Recipe

Another simple one this week! this one goes back to the mashed potatoes we did last week, and we made them into croquettes! They're basically mashed potato dumplings with some flavouring and then shallow fried. We went a bit of a "baked potato" vibe with these, giving them green onion/chive flavouring. The insides came out very fluffy and the outsides nice and crispy, and they were very tender. The trick is to make sure your oil isn't too hot that the outside gets too dark before the insides are all-the-way cooked, or you get the flavour of raw flour.

You can spice these up however you like. We ended up making a little dipping sauce for them out of mayo and our homemade ghost pepper hot sauce which was super delcious and went very well. They will also go with a spicy ketchup or even a katsu-sauce sort of thing.

Homemade basic mashed potatoes recipe

Pretty simple and basic one this week. We're just making mashed potatoes! Not much to say about this, everyone's got a recipe for mashed potatoes and they're pretty hard to mess up. We wanted to do these as a prelude to next week's video, which will be potato croquettes!

Diner-style onion rings recipe

This week we did a pretty simple and basic onion rings recipe! These turned out delicious and they're very simple if you don't mind the mess of deep frying things. We cut them pretty thin, because we like how they come out that way. Crispy and cooked all the way through quickly.

These go best with something like a spicy mayo or a tangy dipping sauce like you might make for katsu or tempura. You can use fancier onions, too, but we just made this with a pretty standard storage onion and it came out fantastic.
