POUTINE

To go along with my HUGE news I wanted to make a post dedicated to things about Canada. Let's start with the most delicious... For those of you that have never heard of poutine... you are missing out! 3 of you got the poll correct that poutine belongs in the fry category... along with fresh cheese curds (they taste like mozzarella- just sounds gross) and brown gravy!!! Some of you might be cringing right now, but believe me- you haven't tried it. I thought I would hate it, but oh my gosh- it is good. PLUS, you can find it like everywhere in Canada. Poutine with KFC gravy... YUMMY! Kyle has also gotten me into adding malt vinegar on top (another thing Canada has everywhere- they like it with fries apparently) Kyle uses way to much for my liking, but half a packet doesn't hurt! Ok, so here is the picture- just go with it- it is really, really, really, good and I have to keep that in mind when I move!

For those of you that don't know. When Kyle and I were dating, he was on summer/fall school schedule which means that he had to go back home from January-May. I wasn't about to let him leave me for 4 months so I packed up my stuff and headed out with him. So... I have lived in Canada and when I read these funny facts on a site yesterday I just couldn't resist sharing:

*You understand the sentence, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my BOWL OF POUTINE"
*You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars.
*You talk about the weather with strangers and friends alike.
*You get milk in bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs.
*You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
*You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.
*You use a red pen on your non-Canadian textbooks and fill in the missing 'u's from labor, honor, color. etc
*You can eat more than one maple sugar candy without feeling nauseous.(I still can't do this...)
*You know what a touque is and you own one and often wear it.(Beanie guys...touque=beanie)
*Back bacon and Kraft Dinner are two of your favourite food groups.
*If you live in some of the colder Canadian provinces, your car has a cord and plug sticking out of the grill ... it's a block heater for those sub-zero (in Celsius) days. (I was a bit freaked out by this)
*You pronounce the last letter of the alphabet "zed" instead of "zee."

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!
