Goose is my boyfriend. He's 22, born in Kazakhstan, but has lived in London, UK for the majority of his life. He's going to be my co-blogger! I'll just say it, we're madly in love & it pains us to be apart!
Here's a little snippet into your 5:30 AM travel to the airport. We were a bit upset.
Especially Goose, but you didn't hear it from me.

After an (almost) 8 hour flight, I'm home! Toronto! What a feeling this was! It's hard to explain, but for the first time in a year I didn't feel anxious & I just knew where I was & felt home. Was surprised I didn't see THIS when I arrived.
My favourite. TIM HORTONS. If you're not Canadian you won't appreciate this, but it's basically a Canadian necessity. Can't live without your Tims coffee & donuts!Or in my case, muffins! Ahh, my favourite. The chocolate chip muffin. Tastes just like it used to when I was a kid-except they're now double the price & half the size.
Onto the DAIRY Products: Cheese Curds: The Squeaky Cheese
If you're Canadian, you're bound to know what these are for. Besides snacking, cheese curds are put into (is it our national dish?) POUTINE! MmmMMmmmMMMmmmmm... I'm sure there will be an upcoming post dedicated to the deliciousness of poutine.
Saved the best for last! My favourite fast food restaurant. The place I go when I'm feeling happy, sad, neutral. I absolutely LOVE...A&W! Such an amazing menu not to mention the decor. Just click on THIS link & take a look at their website. ROOTBEER! If you eat in *not in this case* they serve your root beer perfectly cold in a CHILLED mug because they don't want to dilute the flavour. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
It was always my mother's dream to be Canadian (we visited Winnipeg when I was a child and we loved it). Don't know a whole lot about Canada but those cheese curds say enough!
ReplyDeleteYou look so happy with your A&W meal. I've never been but I looked up locations online and the closest is about an hour away from me :'(
Looking forward to the posts to come :) Happy Holidays! xx
That is such a lovely picture at the end!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Tim Hortons!!!!!!!!! I love TimBits.
ReplyDeleteI'm not Canadian (unfortunatly) but I love Canada, I have family there and I really feel at home when I go to visit them. I'm taking The Boyfriend there for his 30th next year hopefully and we might even entertain moving there one day.
I love A&W fries and the Mozza-Burger! Your Canadian experience isn't complete till you go to Swiss Chalet for dinner & finish off with dessert at Dairy Queen :D
ReplyDeleteTim Hortons..nice! I have visited Canada twice (once for Nuit Blanche) and really like the place and people...Canadians are so friendly and kind! :)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever stolen an A&W mug? I mean the glass one? haha I did. :) I think they have A&W in the US though too right?
