A dear friend recently filed paperwork for Canadian Citizenship. This (naturally) led me to throw a Bob and Doug Mckenzie-themed dinner and screening of Strange Brew.

*STEAM ROLLER!*

Honestly, I just wanted to help an aspiring-Canadian acclimate to our culture, have a few laughs and start practising the accent and saying 'eh'. The movie was very well received. My menu turned out but got a bit out of hand despite my efforts to 'hold back'. Along with transforming Red Stripe bottles into Elsinore stubbies I served:

Cheese Dreams with Canadian Bacon (a family favourite although usually we use 'regular' bacon)
Tourtiere from Sasloves on the Market
Saskatoon and roasted garlic jam on savoury tofu - these were meant to be more elaborate appetizers
Squeaky cheese curds (St Alberts)
Roasted Pepper squash with maple syrup
Mixed Greens (not 'on theme' but we needed something fresh!)
Maple Cottage Pudding à la mode

I forgot to serve the Habitant "Split Plea Soup" (court room scene), the salt & vinegar chips never got opened & the Pepper Squash was missing the maple syrup. Had also bought 2 jelly doughnuts (doughnut bribe scene) but they got squashed on the way home. Squished or not I ate 'em BOTH for breakfast this morning. Beauty, eh?
:D
