I was talking to a friend today about ordering coffee and she told me about an incident at a drive-thru in Rhode Island. The clerk had no idea what she meant when she ordered.
From this it seems the method for ordering coffee is different in the States than in Canada (or at least in some [...]

Weird or Wierd?
Posted in Random Thought on May 23, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I’ve always been a really good speller. I swept many a spelling bee growing up (except, of course, that one where I came second place in front of the entire school for misspelling ‘parallel’. You can bet I’ve never misspelled that one since… damn L’s!).
Anyway…
I’m not sure if I bumped my head or what but at some point [...]
Bringin’ home the … beef?

The local radio station has started running ads featuring Matthew McConaghey’s voice. What is he advertising, you ask? A new movie? No.
Beef.
I have mentioned before that I am a vegetarian. Lacto-ovo vegetarian to be exact; I eat dairy products and eggs but no flesh. No fish, no fowl, no pork, no beef. Especially not beef; [...]
My town under water
Posted in hometown, pics, water on May 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
As mentioned in a recent post, the area where I live experienced a flood while Hubby and I were in Cuba.
Many people experienced damage to their homes and I sympathize for them but I was only kind of joking when I said that the exciting stuff always happens while we’re out of town. I really [...]
Meme me

I’ve been meme’ed. Maybe it’s spelled ’memed’. I don’t know but I figured you might be confused by ‘memed’ and ‘meme’ed’ would be clearer.
Still nothing, eh? Yeah, I was confused too. Thankfully my fellow canuck blogger buddy, Kris, went to the trouble of looking it up for us. (By the way … read his stuff. It is [...]
Grills – Not just for grillin’ anymore
Posted in Food, cheese, games on May 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Hubby, I have found a new party game for our next summer BBQ.
Cheese Racing!
How to play? Players throw a slice of cheese on the grill. The player whose cheese fully inflates first wins!
(Don’t you all LOVE that this grill is leveled by beer cans?)
If this doesn’t have trailer park written all over it, I don’t [...]
Operation Cuba Bound: Complete
Posted in operation cuba bound, travel, vacation on May 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I chuckle at the title of the last post because it contains the word ’snowbank’. Since writing it, Hubby and I have spent a full week in 30-degree weather and glorious sunshine, compliments of Cuba. I suppose the white sands of Varadero beach could be mistaken for snow but I assure you, snow was the furthest [...]
