    Manda's 'Musement

    This thread is dedicated to a very special member of our forum. The purpose of it is to entertain and delight the lovely Missy Manda. Jay, no, you can't just depend on your pink kilt for this, tsk. :D I think we should start by asking her some hard questions. For example, Manda, why are you...

    What's your favourite comfort food?

    Yeah! I like pistachio nuts too. Yum, and my, it makes a mess. For some reason, so do sunflower seeds. Have you noticed? It gets everything kind of gummy, ie keyboards, coffee cups, cameras, remote controls, that sort of thing. Zoned out describes it perfectly, I almost go into a trance with...

    What's your favourite comfort food?

    Poached eggs on toast is probably my number one favourite comfort food. For mindless noshing, food I can eat for indefinite lengths of time: a) peas in a pod b) sunflower seeds White Spot. It has been a comfort food place for all my life. Okay, it's not a food, but they have food, ha ha. White...

    Hey! You guests! Yeah you.C'mon in here for a minute . . . .

    Every day I see guests in the hallowed halls of CanadianContent, and I want to meet them, get to know them, so I'm anxious to get them to stop by for a longer visit. So, if you've been enjoying the sights around here, but debating as to whether you want to sign up or not, why not remove all...

    What is your very most favourite end-of-the-world disaster flick? This can, of course, include the awesome zombie sub-genre.

    Oh! The Joy!

    Re: RE: Oh! The Joy! Actually, it was an expression my dad used a lot when I was a kid.

    Oh! The Joy!

    Re: RE: Oh! The Joy! Totally understandable, believe me. I think almost everybody makes that assumption at first. Basically, haggis is neither masculine nor feminine, it's a food, and a pretty nasty food at that, come to think of it. Truly vile, in fact. Which might say a lot about my choice...

    Oh! The Joy!

    Re: RE: Oh! The Joy! Yum, that looks really good, thulin. My husband :D is happy with our arrangement, in fact it is his idea. He hates sharing the kitchen, and I gave up fighting him for it. I like your arrangement, it sounds like a very fine way to keep the peace and enjoy the variety.

    Oh! The Joy!

    :lol: It does sound like my old Joy. It is always nice to have that one all-purpose book kicking around, isn't it, and I've always considered cookbook stains to be the best bookmarks of all. You can easily find the good pages, they're the ones that are extra well 'marked'. I was looking through...

    Oh! The Joy!

    Yeah, there's something about scoring an old book that isn't easy to find, isn't there. And Jay, nope. No Joy for you. I like having the book for those rare occasions when I get around to cooking, but those occasions are definitely few and far between. I thought about having haggis just one...

    Oh! The Joy!

    Did I ever score! I won a bid for a mint condition 1972 edition of Joy of Cooking. The book is flawless, it just arrived today. Now, it is commonly accepted that the old blue-covered Joy of Cooking is far better than later editions, and I agree with this. Many of the old recipes were altered...

    Canadian Meals / Recipes

    RE: canadian meals I think Nanaimo Bars are truly Canadian. The ones you get in restaurants and grocers aren't very good, they are not nearly as good as my mother's recipe. Now if I could only find that recipe book of hers.

    zip.ca a big disappointment now

    Does anybody know of a great Canadian online DVD source? We've been with zip.ca for a long while now, and while it has been good up until recently, it took a sudden turn for the worse when they decided to start slapping a surcharge on any DVD over a certain number each month, effectively...

    Saskatchewan: in a nutshell according to an expert

    A Saskatchewan friend sent these to me. She live in BC at the moment and is pining to move back home to Saskatchewan one day very soon. When temperatures fell to -30 in Kelowna last winter, she was the only one who still walked to and from work each day (two miles each way). She's one of the...
