I would hear ads for new items at McDonalds, only to find out they were for Canadian McDonalds only! And I'd hear ads for restaurants promoting poutine--not fair!

Sometimes they had meat, onions and sauerkraut in the middle, sometimes just onions and sauerkraut. They were delicious, and you brought back a very nice childhood memory. Many of the recipes on your website are things we ate when I was a kid.

I totally need to do a ball-shaped category. And maybe a triangle category, but there are lots of those, too.

Actually, I saw the biscuit dough, too, but Patrick specified Grands, so I figured I had to stick with that. <br /><br />BTW, please send my regards to Loreburn, Elbow and Strongfield.

There's nothing quite like burning your tongue on a dough pocket stuffed with filling the temperature of molten lava on a cold fall day ( cause frankly who can wait for something as good as this to cool off when you pull it out of the oven). I'm sure I've seen biscuit dough tubes in the stores here in Saskatchewan, but then of course we're very caker around these parts being farmers and all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697309562588673249noreply@blogger.com
