As you know, I’m a fan of the Egg McMaster1. I often buy them for breakfast at the caf at work2 when I’m too lazy busy to make breakfast. And, being vegetarian, I always get mine with no meat, but a slice of tomato instead.This week, however, held a surprise for me. The caf changed […] →Read more
So I finally got my UBC Faculty card. Isn’t it pretty?
