Bottoms up JC ;)

Yes- I have it Gins!!

Less hasstle than when I had my 1st endoscopy and they went down the main airway instead of into the stomach !!

No wonder I was making strange noises !!

Luckily, I liaised with the technician and we did it again with more success !!

Dea

Yes still hot - but cooling down at night now - another week and it will become less hot ( rather than cooler ) by the end of September the weather will be perfect for me - and stay that was until next July and August

I told JC to buy a rubber ring in her thread - my friend took hers on the bus with her - a couple of days later

Yes Dea use to feel that for every new Spanish word I learnt ( or is it learn - cannot remember my grammar rules ) I forgot 10 English ones

Buts that probably old age


Renes

Old age creeping on for me too Renes !!

Tomorrow is another day !!!

Dea Xxx

Quiet night I guess! Been busy all day but am back for a while.

Who is on brekkie tomorrow?

Grumpy Old Schooldays.

Beeb 2....

So true...

Dont even ask Cyn...that bloomin Canadian is useless

She nips in when it suits....sigh

Cyn....you do breakfast tomorrow hun

Can you make sure there is something without 'faces' please

Yep Fans.....thats what Im watchin now

We're watching too!!

Watching what? Always talking about things I don't know about ...

I'm still in fine fettle, I remind you. No tampering occurs until Tuesday afternoon. Tonight I make the very hot chicken curry I'm not going to want to eat on Tuesday night. But you can't have it.

Tonight I get my last meal, toad in the hole I make with Octoberfest (peppery) sausages. Neither of us can stand those breakfast sausages you people eat. With mustard and onion. And coleslaw and gazpacho. Monday morning I get white bread and an egg (I saved myself a bit of egg salad and will eat that, the bit of onion in it be danged). After that it's peach jello and juice til Tuesday night. And I'm not sharing my peach jello, either.

So..Janey..tell us how YOU make toad in the hole

...and youve gorn orf the page

Gee thanks for nothing Janey........ didn't want your peach jello anyway....... sulk

We're watching a prog called Grumpy Old Schooldays in which several tv comedians recall their schooldays! Lots of very true comments...old footage from yonks ago etc.etc.


You sound like a condemned prisoner partaking of his last meal.........and toad in the whole is certainly different... couldn't you choose something a little more exotic? You know we will be here when you return, keen and eager to listen to all your experiences.......gulp..

Must say Janey - most disappointed with the Canadian menus

Quiche ( cheese spinach flan ) - toad in the hole - cannelloni s - egg mayo - jelly - coleslaw - gazpacho - chicken curry - sushi

Doesn't Canada have any dishes that has not come from somewhere else -

No First Nations recipes for us to try


Renes

Toad in the hole *is* exotic here. I decided to find out what it was a little while ago, and since I had just switched to the (USAmerican) Joy of Cooking's very excellent recipe for Yorkshire pudding, I use that. Cook and brown the sausages first. Then treat it all as if it were German sausages on a bun -- i.e. mustard and onion.

Canada is a young country. Settled by various Brits with their boring Brit cuisine, in the anglo part. Quebec does have original québécois dishes. Google tourtière (you don't have to do the accent -- it's pronounced toor-tyaire). And, of course ... POUTINE!

The first nations here were not as advanced, cuisine-wise, as in Latin America, where they have their tacos and tortillas and tamales, yum. It was more along the line of game, nuts and berries, here. Although there were sedentary nations that grew corn. So there's virtually nothing in the way of indigenous dishes here. Buffalo enjoys a bit of popularity in trendy restaurants, seal in remote locales ... shall I go on? ;)

Actually, fish like salmon and Arctic char are genuine Canadian delicacies and I'm sure there are genuine old Canadian ways of cooking them, like on fires. I just don't eat things with gills. Hahaha.

But, of course, we have butter tarts ... and you don't. ;)

There are recipes all over the net for them, although of course my gramma's were the best.

And back bacon! That's so Canadian the yanks call it Canadian bacon, and name movies for it.

Okay, I've goog tootle. Here:

I've goog tootle?? I have to get a better computer. This one can't handle all the tabs I keep open and balks, and when I think I'm backspacing to fix a typo and then typing it right, it waits until after I start and then it starts from my third or fourth action ...

I've got google!

Right, the sedentary farming Iroquois in Ontario made cornbread.

The others, though, who were hunters/gatherers when the European types got here, did not eat much in the way of starch. This is why diabetes is so sky-high among Aboriginal people here. They just genetically aren't meant to eat baked goods.

Nuts, I'm just following links going nowhere. Here, finally:

http://www.oneidaindiannation.com/culture/threesisters/cookbook/41034107.html

Creamed Cheese Corn Casserole. Except I'm quite sure the First Nations didn't do cheese. Or chili peppers, I would be pretty sure. So I think this is kinda Latin American, like most of the others listed down the side there.

Tomatoes, corn, beans and squash seems to be it. With, like, deer, maybe.
