| Veggie Poutine |
It finally got cold here in Southern Iowa over the weekend, and as I walked home from the store Friday night the snow crunched under my feet and my breath turned to frost. I thought back to winters in Ottawa, skating on the Rideau Canal. The Canal freezes solid this time of year and becomes a rink nearly five miles long. Along the Canal are venders offering steaming cups of hot chocolate, Beaver Tail pastries and poutine.
That is how my mind jumped from a cold night in Iowa to poutine, which is fresh cut fries with cheese curds and gravy. After adding ketchup (and vinegar) you are supposed to eat this mess with a tiny chip fork.
