Okay now THAT is a little twisted there, my friend. But I will admit that one of the reasons that I love french fries and even hotdogs as they are both vehicles for condiments.
I adore condiments. Mustard of all varieties, ketchup, relish, mayo, pickles, olives...

you name it, I am there.

But the condiment sammich?

In fact, I've been known to make the occasional ketchup and mayo sandwich when I'm too lazy to make a better snack.

I'm so glad other people feel the same way about ketchup as I do.

I go through about a liter a month. I use it on hashbrowns, grilled cheese, KD...and many other things!

It's definitely sweeter in Canada. Less tangy and less salty. The Heinz one at least.

I make something like a Nanaimo bar for XMas. exact the same except the yellow custard filling is a mint flavoured icing that I may or may not dye green. and the topping is dark chocolate and no coconut in the base, just a nice fudgy brownie.

And I lived in Nanaimo for YEARS... wasn't like we had the Nanaimo bar festival or anything, not that I recall...

Hey Trailmix? That trip I was talking about was AWESOME!!!! I spent 3 months in South East Asia traveling around by myself. It was the trip of a lifetime -- I get all teary-eyed talking about it because every single day was a joy. Seriously.

I worked my t*ts off for two years so I could save the money and pay all my rent and stuff while I was gone, took a 3 month leave of absence from my jobs and just travelled. It rocked.


And I like how you think -- I would love to be able to use that ticket to fly home for xmas and STAY!

So... after all my research and stuff trying to get my butt to MD for Xmas via all sort of other modes of transportation I just ended up buying a very, very cheap ticket from Air Canada to Washington DC and from there, I, LGG, am going to take Washington PUblic transportation to where my husband works. yes. yes. I am. I figure, if I'm going to be without wheels for the first while there and I'll be living there, I sure as hell should figure out how to get my a** around.
Husband would pick me up BUT I am going to do it myself.

"sides if i can get myself from Hong Kong airport to Kowloon on public transportation, then I sure as hell can do it in Washington where the signs are in English.
smile.gif

I got a great deal on my ticket. It was 400$ return, direct from Toronto. The ticket to BWI is still close to 800$ so...

I was also thinking too, wouldn't it be 'hilarious' if I just got my ticket for xmas and NVC schedules us an interview for December??? Hilarious.

Several things. First, time delay. By the time I start to type and multitask there is a time delay. Second, Dr. Oz pushes reading bowel movements and CPR. An easy one is black tarry stools signify bleeding. Third, many people have strokes and heart attacks due to pushing too hard because they are constipated.TTF!

Shortly after you move (as soon as possible), you should fill out the EI application online. Even if you don't have your ROE by then, you can still fill out the form and submit the ROE later. You'll receive some stuff in the mail (probably within a few weeks) including a form you have to fill out and mail or fax in. They'll request a copy of your visa, which shows them that you're allowed to work, and your ROE (you have to submit the original - unless your employer has submitted it online) and some other stuff, but it's not too complicated at all. For the record, my employer just marked "quit" on my ROE (even though I asked repeatedly for them to specify WHY I quit, but oh well) and that didn't cause a problem with applying for EI.

CanadaI need a Tourtiere Recipe
I LOVE tortiere. I made a whole pile last year. This is my fave recipe but it's better as you tweak it to your taste. I use this one as a guideline but a tortiere is as different as every family.

I always add more clove and lots of onion. ANd I make a homemade ketchup maison for it. that is like a tomato and onion chutney but en francais! It's sweet and sour-ish and great with your tortiere. I make that from my head but I'd be happy to give you a low down for it if you like. It's simple.

Torteire Recipe

I always make my own crust and I also skip celery as I hate it. I'll put a little dash of celery salt instead. I like a half pork and half ground beef myself. My dad used to make it with venison and pork mix. Really good.
