If were swapping mothers I'll throw my out in the bazaar. Yeah I'll trade passive agressive for a pedophile apoligist any day of the week.
Mya, you were clinging to an expectation that your family was going to call and when it comes to family, expectations are nothing more than resentments under construction.
Poutine was on the menu at a place i was at recently and I was sooooo tempted to try it. Is this the type of thing that can only be made delicious in Canada? Plus it was made with lobster, so that almost sounds like it would ruin it.
The only thing poutine is good for is sticking it up your butt to stop the anal leakage you've been experiencing.
Poutine is delicious once per year. Reason being, you try it, and immediately recognize it was a bad idea. Then a year later, you forget, and think "man, poutine sounds like such a good idea right now!" Can it taste good outside of Canada? Well, it's technically feasible. But the good stuff uses properly made fries, good gravy, and fresh cheese curds. I have heard of poutine catching on in certain parts of the States as "disco fries" using processed cheese. Do not be fooled. Also, the very reason poutine sounds good is to help with this anal leakage. Jesus. It's looking like lemon-lime gatorade now.
Don't eat poutine sober. It's an awful idea and I will never, ever do it again. Also, I wouldn't bother with any other poutine than Quebec's... when I go back west, I am embarrassed for them and what they call a poutine.
I counter your green bean casserole with barbecued meats and.... I don't need an and, the defense rests.
Poutine, no matter how perverse it is, has nothing on the best of our fast food offerings. CEOs of McDonald's, BK, and Wendy's should be thrown in jail and fed a steady diet of their own poison. I do mean poison in the most literal of terms. There's a poutine joint downtown. Not my thing. Gravy doesn't belong on french fried taters. Though there is a very, very drunk chef working their kitchen which makes me impossibly happy.
