Dave Knows: Elko

Only 3 months without a post.   New record!  I was in Vancouver, BC last week for work.  It was pea-soup foggy for only the first 5 days, so by Friday I finally was able to see more than a block down the street.  I figured out a few things about Canadian (or perhaps just BC) people.  They really like:

• Apple juice
• Maple Syrup
• Gravy
• America

Not necessarily in that order. 

I had Poutine for the first time, though probably not at the best place for it, Red Robin.  It really was everything I had expected it to be.  French Fries, Cheese curds, gravy.  I don’t think it was the best thing I’ve ever eaten, but it wasn’t bad.  Would I eat it every day?  No.  Once every couple months?  maybe.  The next time I visit Canada?  Of course! 

I missed out on the Chinese New Year by a week.  They were getting really excited up there, would have been a lot of fun.  Instead I celebrated by eating some Sweet and Sour chicken for lunch on Monday.
