Ha, unsurprisingly I get the Analytical Thinker. Though I'd say I'm a bit more sociable than the profile suggests, it still fits better than the others. Newsflash, I do science. >.>
mr_t00by and I will be in London July 24-26, then Toronto for the 27th and 28th, then (most likely) Ottawa for 30-31. nos4a2no9 is planning on meeting up with us and you should too!
I'm going to introduce mr_t00by to poutine and then watch him fall completely in love with it, because he's a big grease-and-gravy lover. He can even have mine, because I don't much like it (unless I can just have the cheese and gravy, which is a little too weird).
We could swing by your city, I think. We're pretty open, except for Stratford on the 26th.
I love potatoes, just not fries (homemade fries being the exception). I will attempt poutine again (especially if there are home-made-type fries in the equation), since apparently what I had last year was Inferior.
Does the fact that I not only adore butter tarts but actually MAKE THEM give me back points lost because of the not-so-much-with-the-poutine thing? I should make some while I'm in Ontario so's y'all can laugh hysterically at me.
It's kind of out of the way. =/ We will track down some decent poutnie, though! there's got to be some around. I just really want to try this place downtown -- you can't go wrong with poutine made by a guy named Pierre, hein?
Butter tarts can't really be wrong. I mean, I like the generic supermarket ones just as well as the homemade goodness. When you're in Stratford, though, see if you can lay hands on some Mennonite butter tarts. I'd tell you to go directly to Mildmay and buy them from Anna-Mae, but that's way out of the area. ;)
I use this recipe, which is very yummy. Several times I've tried to make them to take places, and I always end up eating most of them. I don't make my own crust, but oh, well.
We'll have a couple of days in London and Stratford when I'm going to have to figure out Stuff to Do (because seriously, one can only gaze at cornfields for so long), so a butter tart hunt is a good thing to stick on the list. From my (limited) experience, Southern Ontario = cornfield, cornfield, cornfield, CITY, cornfield, cornfield, CITY, small town, cornfield, CITY, cornfield.
I haven't a birthday fic for you, unfortunately. Nor a birthday anything apart from good wishes, and I feel bad about that. I shall make up for it in time, you mark my words.
Thank you! We should do a meetup sometime, btw. Boston fangirls are everywhere around these parts (except they'll all be at con_txt pretty soon). Alas, I will not. Between can_con2008 and TIFF and my upcoming Ontario trip in July, Canada has eaten my prospective budget.
I had to pull out of con_txt. My nephew's graduation party is that weekend. I have a business trip tentatively penciled in the Wed-Thurs before can_con2008 which was so not my idea but I didn't have a choice. That's why I didn't sign up for that.

Date: 2008-06-05 08:01 pm (UTC)I don't much like to think about birthdays because after a certain point, mneh, but then I remember that oh, yeah, there are people around my age who not only retain all their brain cells but also do great and wonderful things.
