Canadian Knockout
No, not me. Stop laughing.
I told you how Thomas has been boxing on the Wii lately? Well this morning we took a break from that to play on SuperWhy, a website that helped Erin’s young son learn to read.
In keeping with our learny day, as I made Thomas’ routine peanut butter sandwich for lunch, I was counting with him. I said one, he said two, so on to ten — at which time he threw his hands up in the air and yelled “KNOCKOUT!”
It was so cute I nearly ate him for lunch.
I then continued through eleven, twelve, thirteen…at which time he threw his hands up again and yelled, “POUTINE!”
Disgusting, isn’t it? They call it Canadian Comfort Food — I call it a heart attack congealing in Styrofoam. Gross.
Speaking of heart attacks, the home inspection went very well and thank you so much for wishing us luck. So far so good. Now, if the buyers just sell their house, we’ll be good to go!

Poutine is even more comforting when you add bacon to it. Mmmm bacon poutine.

Sweet jumping cats. That is the scariest picture of poutine I have ever seen. And it’s never looked exactly, um…appealing to me.
However, I BOW to the supremacy of your ketchup-flavored potato chips.

Hooray for the good inspection. Power of positive thinking, eh? I have the most adorable video from Xmas (my daughter’s BF got a Wii and let us borrow it) of my 2-year-old granddaughter boxing the TV set as she copied the kids playing. It is hysterical, so I can well imaging yours is even cuter. That poutine thing??? I am pretty sure I just expired of cardiac arrest just from gazing upon it.

Please. Nothing is a single-serving “heart attack.” If someone eats it every day, then we can talk.
(I doubt I would like poutine much either–I have never tried anything of the kind–but these days it seems to serve not primarily as a food but as a tool allowing various thin or dieting folks to feel superior to other, fat or non-dieting folks. You know, cause there are so few such tools as it is.)

Oh how I miss Poutine. And beaver tails. All hail Canada.
