I love the frozen canal!  So very cool.

I don't have much to add - except I do crave pizza sometimes.  Big slices with blistered crust that you fold to eat.  Yum!

I am going to add bagels.  And lox.  And fabulous cheeses.

yes, bagels are a big one.  There are no decent bagels in Ashevegas so I learned to make them.  Happily I found a NY Bagel-style shop 20 minutes away in another town recently (Hendersonville), so I'm happy!

We have TONS of black raspberries on our property, but this year, they were far outnumbered by raspberries (aka wine berries) which were just divine. We probably picked 20+ lbs of them just around our yard! We do have some blackberries, but we did not get as many this year, they ripened oddly this year.

Hong Kong Roasted Chestnuts. See these guys around the streets in winter.

1. what kind of fish are they?

2. how do you eat them -- not as they are, I presume?

I grew up across the border.  We were rarely allowed a can of pop, but when we were, it was Vernor's.  I don't know if you can find it anywhere in Canada other than in the Windsor area.


And perch!!  I live near the ocean and can get all sorts of fresh fish and shellfish, but I do sometimes crave a good feed of pan-fried perch.

Perch and walleye are my favorites...

Did you ever have a Vernor's float?

My Kansas hometown didn't have a distinctive food, but I really miss the pizza at a little place that went out of business in the '80s. Biscuit-style crust; can't get that most places anymore.

And on my and my sister's birthdays we'd always get a cake from a neighborhood bakery. It had a distinctive taste. Later in life I lived two doors down from the place and could have that cake anytime I wanted. It eventually closed too.  :(

Aren't those yellow perch?  We never ate the yellow perch, only white perch.

ah yes, fried, of course: as water meets fire, fish become art.

(which, trust me, sounds way better when said in Korean)

speaking of… back in my hometown, fish are more commonly grilled, like this:



which are then served like this:



sigh...
