Chez Roger is a mom and pop fast food burger joint located in Farnham, Quebec. It has been there all of my 49 years and has pretty much stayed the same. They have all the normal burgers, hot dogs and hot chicken sandwiches. Their fries are awesome because they soak them in cold water and vinegar which gives them a distinctive flavour. Good gravy too! Always served fresh and hot. Summer brings the ice cream counter and delicious parfaits and soft serve. Vanilla is always a must! -
Chez Ben La Bedaine is an eastern townships landmark burger joint in Granby, Quebec. It has been around for many decades and the giant neon sign outside brings back memories of the 1950's. The food is super comforting with an array of burgers, hot... +
Chez Ben La Bedaine is an eastern townships landmark burger joint in Granby, Quebec. It has been around for many decades and the giant neon sign outside brings back memories of the 1950's. The food is super comforting with an array of burgers, hot dogs, and poutines. In the summer they have their own soft ice cream bar with a wide variety of soft serve like banana, orange and cherry. I absolutely love this place. -

Crispy Crunch is a very distinctive chocolate bar. It's all about that crunch centre which is not a cookie, but some kind of toffee concoction. The bars seem to be shrinking with the years and the price is too high, but for nostalgia's sake I sometimes grab one and savour it. The only problem is that sometimes they stick to your teeth. -
Every year I buy these because they are affordable and simply delicious. Why make them from scratch when these are perfection. I also like to crush them up and use them for a cheesecake base. Yum!

My brother bought two of these so that we could take walks at night during the long winter months. They are fantastic because you can see a good distance in front of you and vehicles will see you from far so they can slow down. Good for hiking in the mountains too. Price is good and batteries last a long time. Also, not very heavy on the head. -
They are not pretty and they feel heavy on the feet, but they are terrific in mud season. I have a brook behind my house and in Spring I have to clean up the dead debris on all sides and these boots allow me to do the job without ever getting wet... +
They are not pretty and they feel heavy on the feet, but they are terrific in mud season. I have a brook behind my house and in Spring I have to clean up the dead debris on all sides and these boots allow me to do the job without ever getting wet. I just spray them off with a hose and they are as good as new. Worth it for country folks. -
It is always a good idea to keep a few of these bowls in the pantry. When you've had a busy day and no time to cook these come in handy. I usually have them when I feel a cold coming on or feel tired. Broth tastes good, a tad too much salt... +
It is always a good idea to keep a few of these bowls in the pantry. When you've had a busy day and no time to cook these come in handy. I usually have them when I feel a cold coming on or feel tired. Broth tastes good, a tad too much salt. Noodles are nice and firm. I like to add hot sauce to make it spicy and clear the sinuses. -
These are great for snacks and lunch on the go, however, I use these in my spaghetti sauce. They add a certain sweetness to tomato based sauces, are healthy and the price is terrific. Also, no peeling of apples and getting to pomegranates out... +
These are great for snacks and lunch on the go, however, I use these in my spaghetti sauce. They add a certain sweetness to tomato based sauces, are healthy and the price is terrific. Also, no peeling of apples and getting to pomegranates out makes a huge mess. Very convenient pack. -
I made a big batch of pepper jelly with this pectin last summer. At first I thought it was very watery and wondered if I should have kept it boiling a while longer. However, after bottling my jam it took a few weeks for it to become solid. You... +
I made a big batch of pepper jelly with this pectin last summer. At first I thought it was very watery and wondered if I should have kept it boiling a while longer. However, after bottling my jam it took a few weeks for it to become solid. You have to be patient....it does work. -
