It's nice to have a 3 million sq. mi. buffer between the US and Alaska.

Back from the grave, "That Canada Thread."

Oh Canada, oh Canada, what have you done with my Red Rose tea?*
I favor Red Rose tea, a Canadian brand the equivalent of Lipton here in the US, because it's what we drank when I was married to that Canadian-American lass.

When she left me, she had collected over those years just about every one of those little ceramic animals that came one-to-a-package.

Today at the Grocery Outlet I found some Red Rose. There was a package of 12 extra teabags in these three flavors along with the regular tea.

I brewed some of the lemon cake and it tasted just like lemon cack.

In fairness, I'll give them credit for trying, but I'm not buying.

I have not opened the regular tea because I'm afraid they might have dispensed with the little figurines.**

One thing I learned to appreciate after our long-ago climbing trip to the Bugs was lemon curd. You don't find it at Grocery Outlet, but it is worth trying if you can locate someplace that sells it.

* I fully realize Red Rose is an American brand from NY, but the ex considered it a real Canadian "thing." All those Foleys and Irwins up there drank it.

** The figurine in this pack took a bit of imagination...a little black tricorn hat like the Quaker Oats Quaker wears.

I can’t think of an appropriate comment for that last pic on a family friendly forum,
other than are pants passé in Canada?

The CORRECT spelling of this country is with only three letters, all consonants:

C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?

I bagged me a Canadian first ascent in a popular climbing area:
