You know what is magic?

Parchment paper

It won't burn in the oven

Stuff won't stick to it

It's frickin’ magic and we don’t talk about it enough

Kudos to parchment paper

@FedExCanadaHelp @FedExCanadaHelp, what is the status of my package? I received an email saying the case investigation has been closed with ZERO indication of where my shipment is.

[Joie Alvaro Kent @JoieWrites]

@FedExCanada, you’ve had a package of mine sitting in your Mississauga warehouse for 10 days. Is there no way to release that package and deliver it to my door?

[Joie Alvaro Kent @JoieWrites]

@FedExCanadaHelp Thanks, Mark. DM coming momentarily.

[Joie Alvaro Kent @JoieWrites]

Suffice it to say, @GapCA, your online customer service is excruciatingly inefficient.

[Joie Alvaro Kent @JoieWrites]

@GapCA, I’ve been waiting for THREE WEEKS for a package that’s sitting at a FedEx warehouse in Mississauga, Ontario. Is there no way to have this package expedited and shipped to my door?

[St. Lawrence Restaurant @StLawrencevan]

Creating #WhereTheRiverNarrows with @JoieWrites was a collaborative labour of love. We were incredibly honoured to have won Gold at #TasteCanadaAwards23. ⚜️
