went to the works tonight. i got the firestation #6, it had sour cream, jalapenos, salsa and avocado on it. i have to say it wasn't mind blowing! as darren pointed out, it was kind of dry. i think next time we'll sign the waiver and get them a bit rarer! **however, i got the curry mayo with my sweet potato fries and that was tasteeeeee!

it was on food network tonight, i think it was the 2nd episode? they were making hors d'oeuvres for a wedding. good stuff. PS that bald judge is harsh!! yikes.

is it on tonight??

i have just started hearing about this place, i think i need to go!

good stuff. thanks guys

just found this. that sounds tasty, and i think we have everything except the snausage. one thing i have been enjoying putting in my pasta lately is a bit of crumbley goat cheese. it melts and coats the pasta perfectly and you don't need to use very much!

favourite zucchini recipes? we have a lots here.

i actually don't see the toronto date listed anymore! booooooo..

i love top chef and iron chef! i also loved 'next food network star', but i was disappointed in the outcome. i was hoping for debbie or michael. i liked the blonde lady but she wasn't my fave. yay for food shows.

bahahahah! as soon as i saw that you posted on this thread i thought, "shit, i know he said something about me and that damn poutine!". for the record, 'plow' is a strong word. i ate maybe half... and it was gooooooood.

healing and easy listening! my my. this sounds really cool and i would definitely go had i not already made other plans. take some pics!

thank you!!! i love nuns & pirates but my copy is all scratched to hell

amen bro.

happy birthday!!! you're the greatest, nabe love!

yesssssss, thank you brad, probably my favourite guitar player to see these days!

happy day dude!

omg. poutine with bacon!! amazing. i once ate poutine with smoked meat on it at the elgin st diner. that may be the dirtiest thing i've ever eaten. and i loooooooved it.

it is working a-o-k here.

darren won a ton of awesome camping gear one year on the roll up the rim. he feels that he earned more than 'won' it, but nonetheless!

cool word though! guanooooooooo.. way back in the 1800s perhaps...?? chile made a shitload [pun intended] of money from selling guano. i forget what they sold it for - fertilizer maybe?

WOW.

hahahah.. tell that to the alberta gentleman who died from bat rabies 2 years ago! anyway, if you wanna sleep with a bat, that is your choice. you'll probably be fine. but if you start foaming at the mouth, don't say i didn't warn you! PS did y'all know they put out rabies-vaccine-baits for raccoons and foxes to stop the spread? so interesting! apparently doesn't work with our bat friends b/c they just like to eat buggies.

heather you are a machine!! i love it. i would SO SO love to go, but i have prior commitments [and no money] . please bring back a semi-detailed review!

what are you talking about drinking the drool out of your mouth? this comparison is confusing to me. anyway - i'm no bat-hater. i'm not going to go on a bat-killing crusade. but if it comes down to listening to highly educated doctors or bat conservationists, i'm going to go with the doctors. edit: " Rabies infection can occur even when there is no noticeable animal bite involved. Bats, in particular, are generally very small animals, and in many cases their bites or scratches may not be noticeable. If you or your children come in direct physical contact with a bat, or a bat is found in a room with a sleeping or unconscious person, contact a doctor immediately. Talk to your children about avoiding bats and other wild animals." Author: Caroline Rea, RN, BS, MS Medical Review: William M. Green, MD - Emergency MedicineW. David Colby IV, MSc, MD, FRCPC - Infectious Disease edit #2 - here is one from the MNR that should be satisfying for all: * Human rabies from bats is a concern, but a relatively rare occurrence. In Canada, since 1925, five of the 26 cases of human rabies have been due to contact with an infected bat. * The last fatality in Canada was a 73 year old man from Alberta in April 2007 after contact with a rabid bat. * Careless handling of bats is the primary source of rabies exposure from bats. What's the current situation with bat rabies in Ontario? * Despite large numbers of bats in southern Ontario, rabies is infrequent. From 2001 to 2005 there have been 314 bats confirmed with rabies in Ontario. Fewer than 2% of bats submitted for testing have rabies (2% of all bats acting strangely, dead, or have possibly bitten a human or pet). In the overall population, this percentage would be much lower. * Although the percentage of rabid bats is low, any bat encountered should be considered rabid unless captured and proven otherwise. Bats have small, needle-like teeth and claws. Bites or scratches from a bat can easily go undetected. #3 from the CDC in the US [some of this is just funny] Most of the recent human rabies cases in the United States have been caused by rabies virus from bats. Awareness of the facts about bats and rabies can help people protect themselves, their families, and their pets. This information may also help clear up misunderstandings about bats. [...] Rabies can be confirmed only in a laboratory. However, any bat that is active by day, is found in a place where bats are not usually seen (for example, in a room in your home or on the lawn), or is unable to fly, is far more likely than others to be rabid. Such bats are often the most easily approached. Therefore, it is best never to handle any bat. People usually know when they have been bitten by a bat. However, because bats have small teeth which may leave marks that are not easily seen, there are situations in which you should seek medical advice even in the absence of an obvious bite wound. For example, if you awaken and find a bat in your room, see a bat in the room of an unattended child, or see a bat near a mentally impaired or intoxicated person, seek medical advice and have the bat tested. People cannot get rabies just from seeing a bat in an attic, in a cave, or at a distance. In addition, people cannot get rabies from having contact with bat guano (feces), blood, or urine, or from touching a bat on its fur (even though bats should never be handled!).

[back to st pierre & miquelons] - apparently some of their earliest visitors/settlers were basque, and they still have basque festivals there. verrrrrry interesting....!
