Yesterday was Canada Day. The country turned 146 year old. We were invited to to a picnic with Jason's co-workers. It was a perfect day for hanging out in the park! We enjoyed lots of grilled food (cheese brats, rabbit sausage, corn, lettuce, pineapple, watermelon, etc.). The Canadians called the grill a "barbecue" and thought that we were funny to call it a grill. We also roasted marshmallows. However, stores in Canada don't sell graham crackers. So for the s'mores we had to use chocolate topped cookies (also known as: biscuits). Someone brought Smarties, which are not the same candy as we have in the US. Canadian Smarties are M&M knockoffs. The candy shell is just a tiny bit thicker than M&Ms. One other interesting thing we learned yesterday is that "baguette" is not just a long, skinny loaf of crusty bread. It can also mean a wand or any long skinny thing. Strange, eh?
