Man, that is some slow-cooker temperature. How can you tell that the ribs have been slow-cooked and aren't just starting to decay? ;)
Wow, that's amazing! Where did you guys import the sand from?
I also didn't realize that pubic wigs were popular in Canada.
We bought some from an Algerian. All 1000 km of it.

That's some funny stuff right there. Now I know from where the collars of those parkas cometh.
They're talking 68 overnight. Personally I don't care, I had a new AC installed in March, works great. It even cycles on and off. The old one used twice the power and ran continuously, even the headlights on cars that drove by at night would brown out. A test promised a 55% improvement in efficiency.

People just don't think of Canada this way. We still get 'Murkans crossing the border packing parkas and skis. ===============
Well, they need to protect themselves from polar bear and moose attacks.
Are the polar bears and mooses getting sunburnt too?
Nah! The polar bears and the moose protect themselves from sunburn by invading Canadian swimming pools to cool off.
home..FUN!) Some wet s*it heading our way. Maybe a little twister action.
How are you holding up? (Yonge & Bloor having some sort of 'perfect storm' of heat in TO?)
Yes. Parkas are a sure-fire way to protect yourself from a pissed off moose/polar bear, yuppers. LOL Snowmobile suits are a better choice, they hold more when you crap yourself in a face-to-face situation with either of those animals. Them mooses are much bigger than they appear on a postcard. They eat GreenPeacers and their Volvos.
Not much in the wind and twister department, just the heat, an occasional thunderstorm that dries up the .1" of rain and then more heat. The only problem living in an apartment is that you could go looking for a pool to cool off in, but by the time you get back home, you're sweating your butt off again.
The heat doesn't bother me too much, I'm usually fine with just a fan going, but my cat will rip a strip from me if I don't turn on the air conditioner.
Unless it's a furry white parka and then the polar bear might mistake you for a female of the species. Then, you'd better REALLY run.

The meeces are all getting sunburned and the polar bears all drowned. Just ask Algore.
All that fukker needs is a heat-wave and his disinformation machine picks up millions in contributions from the Ed Begley crowd. That bunch is just as oblivious as the 'other' side which seems to think we can burn, spill and waste with impunity.
The yeasty thing gets old after awhile and you look for other things. We've been eating mostly our own bread for over 20 years now and now I like a lighter, airy bread. This Italian/regular she makes is real good but the crust, particularly when toasted, or in a garlic bread should be illegal.
I bought her the Hobart about 20 years ago because I loved home made bread and the yeasty taste was a big part of that, mainly when hot out of the oven. Now, we freeze her bread and it's great all the time. She burnt up a "heavy duty" KitchenAid mixer in no time trying to mix dough, the Hobart doesn't even get warm and will out last both of us I'd guess.
About the only down side is store bought bread is barely eatable.

What are you talking about? Algore is on both sides. He inefficiently wastes millions of BTUs and tens of thousands of gallons of gasoline each year while lying about warming and preaching abstention.
Our roving Canuck keeps telling me that Algore is irrelevant, but I'm here to tell him, once again, the bastard isn't. Got it, WeeGee?
Tell him, Toy!

I prefer much denser bread, thanks. Keep your Wonder Bread, Jack. ;)
It's barely edible, too. I like the local FredMeyer foccacia, but it's nothing compared to the loaf I bought in CA a few years ago.
I inherited my dad's Hitachi Home Bakery, but I seldom use it any more. I keep letting the yeast get too old.
No problem. When I was buying baker sized bricks at Sam's, there was no way I could use all of it in a timely manner. It came in double bricks of about 1 pound each, a generic packaging of this:
Freezing worked exceptionally well.
Sam's used to sell the two pack of 1# bricks for about $7 - $8, so it was well worth it.
