Extra bonus elbow points for slyly quoting Canadian Marshall McLuhan through her medium of choice The medium is indeed the message

To the victorians they were known as nanny dogs. You could leave your kids in their charge

They are so graphic they are practically Art Deco!!

Answering questions with a question isn’t suspicious at all, no no🙄

Like the Great Escape. To watch the film, you’d think it was an American op, with a few Brits and commonwealth thrown in for colour. But even the Brits do the same to Canadians

In on Margaret Atwood when the Handmaid’s Tale came out. Mostly, teachers at my school used me as an assistant. I’m glad I wasn’t home schooled tho. I got all the socialization stuff I needed, plus all the pop culture

Same. I found most of school very boring as I had already read past what the class was doing(except for maths, I’m rubbish at maths). My house was filled with books (mum was a university librarian) and I went to the neighborhood library every week. I grew up going to visiting lecturer talks. Sat ⬇️

Very much the repertoire of a Royal Navy ship’s kitchen and available supplies. The “pot liquor” of a jigg’s dinner is actually quite nice. Very complex. And served with sweet mustard pickles or pickled beets, it can be quite colourful. Easy clean up!

Try a Jigg’s Dinner from Newfoundland. Soaked salt beef is boiled in a big pot of water with a bag of yellow peas+a bag of figgy duff dough. Closer to serving time, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, kale are added. Slices of pease pudding, meat and veg get a generous scoop broth.The figgy duff is dessert

I like Sir Walter Scott +his view that language tells us about the people speaking it.Food animals all have English words:sheep,cow,pig The prepared for table animal becomes mutton(mouton) Beef(boeuf)and pork(porc) from Norman French So peasants tended the animals, but the Normans got to eat them

💯

I love that British people use phrases like “cuts no ice with me” and “bury the hatchet” without understanding the First Nations context. Sure,English was imposed, but it’s a magpie language, happy to pick up whatever shiny verbiage it comes across.Word play is a very English thing,dad jokes too

Or: How GHOTI Became a FISH😁 GH: f sound in “enough” O: the I sound from “women” TI: the SH sound in “national”

I effing hate it .That’s why I do a bunch of onions at a time with a little bit of water with my hand blender.I figure each large muffin cup filled to the top equals one onion.Freeze,put in storage container+pull out whatever you need whenever I also make aromatic pucks (onion, garlic, cilantro etc)

I’ll try anything at least once 🙂

The mother in me answered his call, even if his own mother couldn’t. I think there are a lot of us mums who hear his cry, as mums do. The sickness of those abductors! Their shameless gorilla posturing. Not men at all. Just boys playing at a boy’s game of acting like men.

I’d say that any duty you owe to silence is paid. Go to Scotland. See it. If you feel like knocking on some doors, go for it. It’s a magical place on its own, but I do understand the urge to know where you’re from, what people.

I hear you. May tomorrow be easier on you🌹

Giant tiger shrimp!!!

Ontario can’t criticize. Ford is as embarrassing, corrupt, ignorant, cruel and creepy as Trump
