When I go back to Canada, I always seek it out along with a few Manitoba favorites like smoked goldeye and Jeannies cakes. <br /><br />I checked out Postcards from the Dinner Table. Very interesting - another great blog to read. <br /><br />Yes, I think the Irish are bonded to potatoes forever. No meal was considered complete without them.Helen Killeen Bauch McHarguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042488205276127209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36955857.post-62590409478818980472010-03-27T10:41:20.053-07:002010-03-27T10:41:20.053-07:00Nice picture of a united family.

Seriously, I was really touched by this story. <br />And on another note...I can't picture you as a potato picker. Not that there's anything wrong with potato pickers. You just seem so elegant and far from the farm. Not that there's anything wrong with farmers. I guess we're both farmers or are we ranchers?North County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36955857.post-11412831099743878062010-03-27T09:24:29.985-07:002010-03-27T09:24:29.985-07:001.

If you like food and potatoes, then I hope you're familiar with our famous Montreal delicacy - poutine!<br />3. If you haven't discovered it yet, I suggest you check out Karen Resta's blog "Postcards From The Dinner Table". I think you'd enjoy it!<br />Evelyn in MontrealEvelyn Yvonne Theriaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512331037467548666noreply@blogger.com
