So the full title is COLOR TASTE TEXTURE: Recipes for Picky Eaters, Those with Food Aversion, and Anyone Who’s Ever Cringed at Food. I know that “picky eaters” is a loaded term, the sole purpose of it in the title is so it can be found by the most people. It’s used sparingly within the book itself.
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

This is not something to fear, but it is something to plan for. Support disability rights and ADA compliance with everything you have.
And if you’re spending money redesigning a home, make sure it will also suit you if your mobility/ balance / etc decreases. Because it will.

On this day in 1813, the Battle of Crysler's Farm was fought near present-day Morrisburg, Ontario. In the battle, 800 Canadian and British troops faced 8,000 Americans. The battle was a defeat for the Americans, who then abandoned their Saint Lawrence campaign.

From 1875 to 1975, 6000 ships were lost on the Great Lakes.
Since November 10, 1975, zero ships have been lost.
Much of this is owed to technological advances, not just in shipbuilding and navigation, but also, crucially, in weather forecasting.

As someone who grew up in the area, it is very upsetting that the province is considering selling off portions of Wasaga beach provincial park. In addition to being a nature area accessible from Toronto it also has a big role in wildlife preservation (esp. the piping plovers).
I wrote about this too. Why isn’t Ontario hitting the barricades in rage? We’ve so little lake access. Entirely privatized shorelines. You could give the province away to oligarchs & people would be meh. Thx to Fatima for calling this early on.

Ok I had no idea the Edmund Fitzgerald was a contemporary thing for the song, this is like his Toby Keith 9/11 song but about transporting taconite pellets

The Edmund Fitzgerald sank 50 years ago today. The next year, the singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot chronicled the tragedy in an unlikely hit single.

The last thing you see before returning to Canada from Detroit before entering the tunnel is the Old Mariner’s Church, a place of prayer for those who sailed the Great Lakes.
Built in 1845, it was moved to the tunnel entrance to make way for a civic plaza.
The bell tolled 29 times 50 years ago.

TIL the tale of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of corporate malfeasance and worker endangerment.
SS Edmund Fitzgerald had a structural defect in its keel. Sailors on that ship had complained about the ship bending and flexing during storms, especially when it was overloaded, which it usually was. They had also found old keel weld breaks due to structural fatigue, which were never repaired
