    The Creative Class 101

    This guy is dead on with some of his economic analysis, but his solutions are a bit nutty. Here he is on the hour. I like George what's his name, good waste of 13min. CBC.ca Video

    Cindy Sheehan

    Does anyone think all the fuss she made influenced recruitment PR? I've noticed the commercials are slightly different now, showing mother and son discussing things, a lot less gung-ho do your duty etc.

    Grey Gardens

    Jessica Lang and Drew Barrymore. I thought it might be a little slow given the majority of the movie involves two women and their bizarre mother/daughter relationship and horrific living conditions ie: tree growing through the walls of the hosue, lots of cats, raccoons and garbage - aunt/cousin...

    How many here have beef fondue occasionally?

    Cheese is really good. My friend does both oil and cheese with meat and various vegetables at the same time - two different fondues, of course. I've never had oil fondue.

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    I don't eat meat pie either and for some reason I found it really interesting. At least from the perspective I was researching it from.

    I'm pretty sure i listened to that too, lots of sources claimed it was first made with tourtes (pigeon like bird) until it became extinct - 19th century. In the end I concluded that it was made with whatever was available, so it was modified from place to place. The idea is food ways and...

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    I can't seem to find an answer to the Christmas question either. I"m going to move on, unless someone know. What a stupid topic for a term paper! Actually, it turned out more interesting than I thought.

    Tortiere: Why Christmas

    I know, it's massed produced and can be eaten and bought 365 days a year, but what I want to know is: Why is it a Christmas Tradition? When did it start being associated with Christmas. I know it was served as meal after Christmas Mass, but who started doing this and why? I guess it was the...

    Plumb tasteless!

    The term, maybe. Given that people travlled back and forth from the old world to the new and back. I would guess flat bread was something brought to the continent by original settlers.

    Plumb tasteless!

    As much as I LOVE bannock and gravey, the natives can't take credit for it - bannock is the original scone (Scottish or British in origin - or something like that).

    He probably killed the flavor of everything with tabasco sauce anyway.

    Plumb tasteless!

    American fast food is a perversion of traditional dishes, not necessarily native to the US - although they claim they invented the hamburger. Then there's poutine. I don't know if anyone else eats that. :D
