BEST NEW RESTAURANTS 2016
"It’s been a great year for new restaurants—in quality and quantity. I ate at places with Iron Chefs and places helmed by brilliant kids straight out of George Brown, at izakayas that transport you to Tokyo and a flashy pasta place that made me want to eagerly return to the Yorkdale mall (and I’m not a mall person), at an ambitious hole in the wall born from a Kickstarter campaign and at the most extraordinary restaurant to open in Toronto in a long, long time. Then came the less enviable job of narrowing the best down to 20. Here are my picks for the most exciting places to dine in 2016.'' Marco Pupo, Toronto Life

How to Get Rid of Household Mold
Find out when to do it yourself and when to call in a pro in this guide to mold cleanup and prevention.
You can procrastinate about some cleaning tasks, but when it comes to mold, it’s better to take care of it sooner rather than later. Mold can cause health problems and destroy whatever it grows on. The spores of mold fungi commonly float through the air, and when they adhere to damp surfaces and start to grow, they can gradually consume the surface. The key is to get the cleanup done before that happens.

But with a little preparation (and some extra time carved out for finding your Zen), you can savor the best of the season, from winter walks to hot cocoa. Check off these tasks for a less hectic, more harmonious month.
