well, if the painful truth be told, I have some Creemore because it was (shhh) abandoned at the Getaway. Being one of the last to leave each year, and having this BIG van, I get to haul off lost & found. I 'thought' it was purchased locally by members of the Shellbacks, but I don't know that for sure. In any case, I ended up with 4 bottles, and have 2 left.

You shore do paint a fine picure of the good life in Ontario! (I do like the single malt chaser concept!) It's interesting that the ONLY time I was ever in Canada was to buy beer..(in 1981, think)...we had been in the 1000 Islands of the St. Lawrence, and just drove across the river and searched out a beer store...got that Brador and 4-5 other fine brews and headed home.

Well, at the border, the customs guy asked "anything to declare?"......"ummm...beer", I said.."how MUCH beer?" "ummm..several cases"..."Maybe we better take a look"....so I open the trunk, which was STUFFED with STUFF from camping and traveling, and I started pulling out beer from every nook & cranny... I guess my candor and the growing line behind us were enough, 'cause he just said..."ok...that looks about right..go ON!"

I was just learning about beer then, but I did enjoy the fruits of that trip for many weeks!

Now ..poutine, I have heard of, but never had the dubious pleasure of...but it sure sounds like something I have created accidently from various leftovers! So...I will indeed contemplate combining music, wood and several of the 4 basic food groups (alcohol, grease, sugar, chocolate) sometime!

I am so glad I asked...*grin*...
