i just had a piece of President's Choice  Dulce de Leche Banana Cream pie with graham cracker crust.  Oh so good!! and I don't really like banana cream pie! The Dulce de Leche is under the banana cream and there is lots of it!
Sorry my American friends, it's a Canadian grocery store brand, but if you're ever in a Canadian grocery store, buy some Presiden'ts Choice brands, most everything is awesome. Not every grocery store carries it though.

Ok, I know the Vancouver Canucks are a hockey team, but what in the devil is a "Canuck"? Slang for a "Can"adian D"uck"?  Contemplating

Canuck is a slang term for a Canadian, like Yankee is for an American. Or Yank as my British grandfather used to say.  In looking it up there are a few ideas on where it came from it could even be another thing to blame Benedict Arnold for. There is a theory that his troops picked this up as they laid siege to Quebec in the winter of 1776. It could also come from a WWI comic book called "Johnny Canuck" a Canadian soldier in the war. What can I say I am an ex-librarian I love to look up information, sorry if this is too much info. Anyways if you ever get north of the border try some President's Choice products they are good.

Thanks, Bev. I just never knew what it was. Learn something new every day.
