Your post made me hungry for Canadian candy, of all things ...when my hubby and I lived in Seattle, we used to go up to Victoria....yummm. Then, we lived in Northern Idaho, and one day we drove up into Canada, and there is NOTHING up that way! Well, gorgeous scenery, but no towns. I refused to turn back til we found "someplace" - and we ended up at this "famous" bottle house - built by some Canadian mortician, I think it was. Lol, thanks for the memory joggin'!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948171783916101137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-64514337291200375392010-01-30T13:44:41.109-07:002010-01-30T13:44:41.109-07:00You mean you had Asian food that didn't come o...You mean you had Asian food that didn't come out of a two-gallon can?

In fact, it's sort of spiny, and gets its name because the sap is extremely flammable, which makes it burn like you threw grease on the fire.

I can't add to the barbecue comments because my wife is the best cook in the world and won't let me near the kitchen (but I do the washing up). The weather point is interesting, though. For followers of yours who are under the impression that Scotland is always freezing and rain-sodden, I recommend a trip to Poolewe Gardens on the north-west coast. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, you'll find palm trees and other exotic flora. I used to sail in Loch Ewe and on many occasions enjoyed the magic of the phosphorescence in the water. And the Moray Firth's micro-climate makes it feel like California.<br /><br />Oh, and I fully intend to steal your expression 'slicker than snot on a greasewood stick' and use it as often as possible.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07675643113010061969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-35597372178834708942010-01-24T17:51:59.624-07:002010-01-24T17:51:59.624-07:00I don't do yucky sauce on any kind of barbecue...I don't do yucky sauce on any kind of barbecue.

Its the jar stuff with the fancy colors!... Love the Albertan drivers (snigger), we BC Canadians growl at them in the mountain passes... (and they growl at us one those straight flat roads) say no more! Border crossings are amazing aren't they? An invisible line yet so distinct the differences. We drive down zero avenue (on the Canadian side) and look across at scenery that is truly American.Katthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08501145978550034341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-26003616036450170082010-01-24T10:47:05.362-07:002010-01-24T10:47:05.362-07:00Oh, I don't do yucky sauce on any kind of barb...Oh, I don't do yucky sauce on any kind of barbecue. Smoke them and be done with it. Of course, I don't like ribs anyway. Pass the brisket, please. However, your trip for pickup parts sounds like an interesting adventure. My son the mechanic is a firm believer in salvage yards. I should write a blog about the patchwork pickup.Julie Weathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725236516593676381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951407630062872642.post-9088095220953896112010-01-23T20:35:59.391-07:002010-01-23T20:35:59.391-07:00I figured someone would point that out.

By the way, I'm sorry to do this, but I need to point out that the southernmost point of Canada (maybe you meant Alberta?) is Point Pelee, which is about the same latitude as the northern border of California. Sorry for the annoying geographical trivia.<br /><br />And those ribs look like honey garlic - yum!Joanne Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735440622911669055noreply@blogger.com
