Nanaimo bars. the homemade kind, not the crap that's mass produced.

Oh yes! Yes! Yes! My absolute favourite!

I have 15 of them in my fridge right now!

In the decade I have lived in America, I have seen Nanaimo bars in just two American cities - the airport in Salt Lake City and the Fresh Market here in Tallahassee. They just got them. I couldn't believe it when I saw them.

I'm giving them out tomorrow at work when I'll be throwing a little Canada Day party!

Wait, make that 14. Yum, yum.

the wife says in a some tortouier they put potaoes and carrots in?

Like I said, lots of families make it different ways. We've always made it with just meat. adding potatoes and carrots makes it go further, and helps absorb the grease if you don't want to be picky about draining the meat.

I forgot to add... drain the fat off! You don't want a pie shell full of grease.

hahahahaha....I found that funny..ok here goes.....
So Karrie here gets her recipe book sold in stores but realizes she forgot a few things....She decides to fly across Canada in a hot air balloon with a banner "DRAIN THE FAT"

Fat people everywhere protest and the canadian economy hits an all time low do to rioting......

Well, it beats flying across the country with a banner reading 'Drain your meat'... imagine the economic impact of all the men in the country obeying that command.

I would do that anyway..........Since I use lard for the pastry I'm probably getting my share of cholestrol......:lol:
