F is for Fish...and Fathers' Day

We made fish burgers for Fathers' Day. I found this excellent recipe in the LCBO's Food and Drink mag that is delicious. Interesting however, that when I told my brother that we were making fish burgers, he was all like "Fish burgers...gross. WTF, why are you making fish burgers?" I guess he thought we were going to serve fishwiches from MacDonalds or something. After I explained how delicious and adult they would be, he gave the Mennonite defense - as in "well, Mennonites don't really eat fish so I guess I'm just surprised."

Anyway, that got me thinking about what Mennonites eat. Perogies. Sausage. Pickles. Potatoes. Plumaploutz. Rollkuchen. Pfeffernuesse. Other than that, I really couldn't say, but I could probably survive quite fine on those seven things for the rest of my life.

I'm Heart and Soul


My dad's family is from Humboldt, SK, so when my sister hooked up with a dude from that town (now a city I believe), I was like "sweet, this guy is most likely Menno or German - either way he knows perogies." He definitely also knows how to buy gifts for people. Check out the logo on this jacket he bought for Kris' birthday.

BTW, we bought the best of Huey Lewis and the News a few months ago and Kris listened to it about 30 times in the span of a week. It was ridiculous.

Also, I wanted to share this noodle mix I found in Superstore over the weekend. Superstore is a great place to snap photos of inappropriately named food.
