Food Photo Post - Canada!

Today, this blog is like all the other food blogs, because I managed to sync my digital camera with our iMac and now you can have pictures of food! Welcome to the twenty-first century of blogging!

First, the Canada pictures that we promised something like four months ago.
Here is a toffee on snow thing that I didn't feel confident enough in my French to buy. It looked good, though.
Here's our first meal in Quebec City; Caesar salad, French onion soup, and poutine. Delicious, if heart-stopping.

Lies, damnable lies!

The New York Times, where Jayson Blair spun his web of deceit, is once again spreading foul lies; this time, they write that "Dr. Pepper is a Republican soda."

The Sherbs and I would disagree. We are, at the very least, not reliable Republican voters (and some would say we're somewhat further on the "not-Republican" spectrum than that). And yet, we drink Dr. Pepper. I have a can sitting next to me right now.

Dr. Pepper knows no politics. It's "Republican-ness" is probably solely due to the fact that it's a Texas-based beverage, and Texas tilts Republican right now. When Ann Richards was the governor, Dr. Pepper was a Democratic beverage, I'm sure.

Dr. Pepper is also available in Canada, where I am fairly certain it is not associated with the Conservative Party (I'd personally hope that it's not the beverage of the Liberal Party either, but instead the Bloc Quebecois).
