OH MY GOD.. i think maybe you over did it with the stuffing their. I myself like to rub oil all over the body and then add some chinese five spice to just spice things up a little. The aroma that meets your senses when you open the bird up on the table is something near to heaven. MMMM.

Hi Loafy

Right this plan thing.

Plan A Do what needs to be done
Plan B Drink beer

Method

Execute plan A, if plan A fails, go to plan B, after affects of plan B have worn off return to plan A

Repeat until plan A has been completed.

Return to plan B.

Here are some pics of what i am training in

My instructor mentioned something to me last week. Taber corn.

Taber is just to the East of Lethbridge (about 35 clicks) and apparently they grow the best sweet corn in the known universe.

My instructor (Hi Bruce) told me to go and buy some and try it as there are numerous street corner vendors around town.

Anyway, trust me i forgot

So last night i bought some and popped it into the fridge.

Now he tells me i should have eaten it the day i bought it, bl**dy heck i cant win.

Anyway i cooked some up tonight and the smell coming from the kitchen is fantastic.

More to follow....................

EDIT: Wow, that was fantastic, dipped in slightly salted butter, that was the best corn i have ever tasted and ive still got another 8 husks in the fridge.

Aah, well you being ex military and all would go back to plan A, me being an ex east european driver would stick to plan B until plan A was sorted and celebrate the fact by drinking more beer and sober up two days later and then find that plan A was dealt with by someone else so resorting back to plan B, its just never ending but all in all it's pretty much the same really.

Nice car there, should be good for all the shopping trips and Gizmo to jump in, by the way how is he, is he there yet ? cant remember when you said he was due to arrive, i know i will miss our two.

Read your blog up to date and have started one myself but nothing to look at yet, will let you know the name of it when i finally get it off the ground fully.

When is your test must be coming up soon.

How is it all going on the whole there, looks like you are doing well.

Have fun there and speak to you soon hopefully.

LOAFY...

Hiya Iain

picking Giz up in the morning , cant wait, its 00:40 at the moment and the whiskey is all gone, that corn was out of this world you have to try it when you come over, calorie count was off the scale though with the butter. I got my test on tuesday but it feels as though its come round really quick.

Talking about Giz, we went to Petland, Pet-cetera and Canadian Superstore this afternoon and spent a bl**dy fortune on beds, food, chews, leads, extending leads and all the other crap a spoilt dog needs. Looking at my watch he should be on his way to Heathrow as we speak.

Anyway im off to bed now as i got a 2 and a half hour drive up to Calgary in about 8 hours.

By the way i think we did the right thing with the car, its economical ( 2 litre auto), its a top of the range with leather, air, cruise, heated seats and all that crap, and its usefull for moving stuff round, works for us anyway.

Hi, are there many Diesel cars around? (have always had diesel's) and is there much price difference between Diesel and Gas at the pumps? and will a normal car be ok for the winter months? (or is a 4x4 needed)

p.s. your post's have been great reading! only found the site the other day but have found out so much information.

Lyndon001

Hi Chris

Glad you like the posts, not sure on the price of diesel but i will have a look tomorrow Gas is $1.08 at the Fas Gas down here in Raymond. Cars over here are mostly gas as are SUV's, i think the trucks (pickups) are practically all diesel. Incidently i filled up on the way back from calgary today and it was $0.99.

As for SUV vs CAR, i depends where you are, apparently down here in Lethbridge a car is fine, ive been told not to even bother with winter tyres (wheel see)

Going by what vehicles i have seen so far, most people round here have cars. A lot of people have trucks but i think thats a macho thing or for going playing in the mountains.

Hope that helps

Look out for the peaches and cream corn too - two diff colours of corn on one cob - that is by far the best
