Due to the fact that I am beat beyond compare (first day back at work after my stay-cation and it was smokin' busy), I am not going to post the long thought-provoking post I had intended.
First and foremost... I was very impressed with your attempts at translating my confusing Canadianism. ('Hey, pass me a serviette... I just spilled my poutine on the chesterfield and I don't want to use my toque to clean it up') While no one got it all correct, Alana was closest. The actual trasnslation is... 'Hey, pass me a napkin... I just spilled my french-fries-with-gravy-and-cheese on the sofa and I don't want to use my winter-knit-stocking-cap to clean it up.'
Now before you start freaking out about the fries-with-gravy-and-cheese... yes, it is a heart attack on a plate, but it's DARN good! No, you can't use cheese sauce or fake cheese of any sort... it has to be real cheese, preferably cheese curd. And while it is french-Canadian in origin, the best poutine I've ever had has come from Chinese restaurants. And if you don't think you'd like it, that's just fine... all the more for me!I think that's all I've got in me tonight, folks. I'm watching football with my beloved and I swear the ball their using is covered with olive oil, both teams are fumbling that much. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the BC Li.ons' locker room at the half... their coach's head is going to explode! Go Roughri.ders!
I hope all of my friends south of the 49th parallel have a fun and safe Independance Day!
thanks a lot for visiting my blog! I'll add you to my reader and check in on you! i love that you were matched on eharmony. I wanted to do that before I met DH.
ReplyDeleteDang! I had read about poutin about a month earlier and couldn't for the life of me remember exactly what it was. I didn't want to cheat and look it up on the internet. Thanks for the half points! It made me smile. I would love to try poutin with you if I am ever up in the great white north. Cheese + gravy + fries = happy Traci.
ReplyDeleteDang! I got everything but the poutin!
ReplyDeleteI could play the same game with Southern-isms...Hmm....Thanks for the idea! :)
Sounds yummy to me! I feel sooooo guilty now. I truly, truly, TRULY thought of you for the Sisterhood award, but I didn't want to over burden you. SO sorry! It won't happen again! xoxox
