A Canadian Recipe.
I'm sitting in Second Cup in Edmonton, AB right now. It's a nice little place. Stop in if your in the area. Actually, there are two conversatations going on around me. Both of them are about matters of faith. Hm.
Nica and I are hanging out with her Canadian relatives. I've been grilling her Uncle Brian, a retired teacher, about Canadian history and culture. It's been really fun for both of us. Through our talks, I've formulated a new theory that might be so stupid that it's brilliant. Or, quite possibly, it's just plain stupid. You be the judge.
Theory:
Canadians are the no-bake recipe for Southerners.
Recipe:
On a new continent, mix together: 50% British, 25% French and a 25% amalgum of other European immigrants, Native Americans and whatever else you have lying around. Be creative. But instead of baking at 100+ degrees for 200 years, place this mixture in the freezer. Voila. Canadians.
