PING: Marcel (OT)
So I just spent about 5 days in Canada (Winnipeg), and I make it a point to
look for poutine at the McD's. They don't have it there anymore! (Not that I was gonna try it... g) But I was offered gravy for my fries at every restaurant. What kind of gravy is it, anyway? Stuff that you'd normally put on mashed potatoes? Either way, I thought of you when I was searching for poutine. g -- -Abby Pems, Aussie, and a Pug ****Remove shoes to reply**** |

That's usually why I am in Canada--I LOVE Canadian dog shows! I am going to Etobicoke in early Nov for a Pug specialty and all-breed shows! I may be going to Thunder Bay in September, and I am definitely going back to Winnipeg for their November show at the convention center. I love Winterpeg. Winterpeg is nice in winter mainly because there are no mosquitos present. Thunder Bay is, well, in the back of no-where. My brother went to LU for 4 years. If you go, there is a beautiful trail along a peninsula that I highly recommend (the sleeping giant). I also recomment Kakabeka falls, as well as a gorge that is a really cool. The flora on the bottom of it are normally only found 1000s of kilometers to the north, in the sub-arctic zone. it is also a cool place to pick amethyst and see the monument comemorating where Terry Fox stopped his attempt to run across Canada. Interesting! Eric ordered a burger, and it came with "burger sauce." We decided "burger sauce" was dross. I have no idea what it was! Neither do I, but it sound's gross. Was the sauce really liquid (au jus) or more like gravy? -- ******************************************* Today is: 5 days to my wedding!!! Yeee-Haaaa!!!

. 1.4: Nopew, but she is thinking of opening a motel with it's own dogs so that dog people who are travelling can take dogs for a walk, cuddle or whatever. What a neat idea! Soooo many people come up to me in hotels when I am walking my dogs to say "Oh I miss my dogs!" or "I have a Pug too!" or some other such thing. That would be a good idea, I think. Winterpeg is nice in winter mainly because there are no mosquitos present. Um, I live in MN, so I am used to both seasons--mosquito and winter. However, Winnipeg wins in the area of biting flies--ICK!!! Those things are so icky. Thunder Bay is, well, in the back of no-where. My brother went to LU for 4 years. If you go, there is a beautiful trail along a peninsula that I highly recommend (the sleeping giant). I also recomment Kakabeka falls, as well as a gorge that is a really cool.

Sounds lovely! I'll look for those places, tho I don't usually have a lot of time for sight-seeing. I have a friend in Thunder Bay--I am sure he will help me out and show me the good places to go. Neither do I, but it sound's gross. Was the sauce really liquid (au jus) or more like gravy? It was not an au jus or a gravy--it was mayonaise-ey with chunks in it! spew -- -Abby Pems, Aussie, and a Pug ****Remove shoes to reply**** |

Chunky burger sauce sounds like it's right up her alley. Sounds like a euphemism for thousand island dressing, aka seekrit sauce. I'm sure mom would approve--if it were ladled over chicken on white toast. Or maybe on a Steak-Umm. Cate |

... I once went to breakfast at the Opryland Hotel with some Canadians and New Englanders, and the breakfast buffet scared them a lot. Considering Canadians put poutine in their mouths, it must've been pretty damn scary. Cate |
