Description
Torontonian Cynthia Cheng Mintz, mom to a kindergartener and philanthropist has a lot to talk about. She has been blogging for years, often discussing issues that aren't heard, such as body image from a smaller person's perspective as well as a child-of-immigrant whose parents worked in finance (dad) and IT (mom). Whether it's cultural conflict with the older generation, food, or mom issues, Cynthia has something to say.

Just an update with what's going on with me and the Cheng Mintz family! We're looking forward to a fun Mother's Day weekend, which will include going to a buffet brunch for the first time since 2019. And it'll be the first Jr. Mintz will remember. And not to mention, eat at.

So Nordies is shutting down Canadian stores. Who's going to take over? Simon's? A comeback from an old Canadian brand? And vocal identities. The Toronto Star article from last week really struck...that people might be able to tell what someone's background is based on HOW they speak CANADIAN English (that is, people who don't have accents). So what does Cynthia sound like?

Cynthia talks about her Valentine's Day and talks about the bad pizza she had on Super Bowl Sunday. She also mentions that the episode was recorded on February 15, which is Canada's Flag Day. She learned about it from school, and later, this Heritage Minute.

Cynthia and her family returned to the annual tradition of the "Spin of Prosperity" dinner at the CN Tower after a two year absence (thanks, Pandemic!!!). It was Jr. Mintz's first time there! Hear what she had to say about the meal and more on kids' menus! Also, she'd love to hear your thoughts on kids' menus!

What's the deal with restaurant children's menus? Why haven't they changed much in the past 40 or so years? And why are they so...unbalanced? Rarely do you see vegetables, for example. Have restaurants surveyed parents? Do you think this makes kids more picky? Shouldn't parents be exposing kids to a wide variety of different foods? Isn't it their job, and thereby, restaurants (since they're paying and often ordering for the kids, anyway)?

I hear about this all the time from various "minority" groups. Can someone explain this? Everyone always makes it sound like it's an on/off switch. I don't think I'm doing it. Am I?

Cynthia wants to know why it's so difficult to find Chinese food-specific meal kits/prepped family meals in the Toronto area. The market is certainly there, both for seniors and younger families.
