If I’d known it was cheese “CURDS” before I tried it, I would’ve hated Poutine. But growing up in NYC, the standard “diner fare” was “fries with cheese and gravy”, only they used mozzarella (as one person above mentioned). So the similarities were enough to make it work for me . . .

especially as I was eating it at 10:30 in the morning at a snack bar in front of a Home Depot in Edmonton (different time zone, you know . . . )

try it sometime! you never know! (or next time you’re in Buffalo, see if you can do the “fries with cheese and gravy” US-style!)

Oh Degrassi High, how I miss you and Spike and Wheels and calling people Broom Heads.

The new version just doesn’t do it for me.

Probably because I’m 30.

Now That was funny. I bet they had the maryJ stashed under their chairs. I’m trying that out when/if we get a friggin warm day…TV in the garage, must be liberating!

As for the Poutine. I don’t know how to pronounce it. ‘Nuff said.

please please please try poutine!!! I have made every visitor try it & they all have loved it. I am shocked at the amount of Canadians who responded to never trying poutine – it is so delicious; of course I will only have it once a year bcuz it’s soooo fattening too

I’m American living in Massachusetts – I’ve not heard of MOST of what you’ve referenced. Now I’m going to be busy all morning googling everything you’ve mentioned!

Those beavers look pretty dang funny – could someone email me a link?

First? I have never, and will never say “a herb”. I say “an ‘erb” just like you. Second? Oh. My. God. My neighbours all party out on their driveways or in their garage instead of their back yards and living rooms and it completely baffles me, too. There are many televisions in the garages around her. It’s bizarre-o.

I love Canada, and you are one of the primary reasons why.

Oh, and I totally forgot to say that there is an older couple in our neighborhood (in Ottawa) who also sit outside during nice weather and watch tv in their carport.(?*!&!?!*!) Hubby and I have always assumed it was a Canadian thing. LOL

I’m also a fish out of water. Hubby and I are both from NC but we’ve been in Ottawa for 9 years. I was frantically nodding in agreement to both of these posts! The only thing I would add to the “what I miss about the US” list is authentic Mexican restaurants. Yum!! I *so* love reading your blog because you are a genius but it also makes me homesick sometimes.
