Both of my parents were born and raised in New Brunswick. They left in their 20s and moved out here to Southern California. Between them they have 19 brothers and sisters so my extended family is pretty huge. Most of my relatives are in Edmunston, but I have relatives in Montreal, Quebec, PEI, Moncton, Rimouski, Mantane etc… Both of my Peperes worked for CNR. One at the railyard, one worked in the cabose.

Every summer we used to go visit for 3 weeks at a time. I even got to spend a Christmas there one year (damn cold, but beautiful). These are some of the things I miss about Canada. Consider yourself lucky.

1. des ploys
2. Coffee Crisp
3. Salted Pork (Fried salted pork even better)
4. Fiddle Heads
5. Sugar Pie
6. People who think donuts are desert after dinner
7. Ketchup Chips
8. Vinegar at the table
9. Poutine
10. Creton
11. Lobster Rolls
12. Trees
13. Real rain, snow and lightning
14. small wild strawberries
15. wild raspberries and blueberries
16. moose, bears and deer
17. skidoos
18. smoked trout
19. Tim Horton’s
20. Hockey Night
21. More than one choice of Kit Kat
22. Cherry Blossoms
23. Bee Hive Golden Corn Syrup
24. VH Plum Sauce
25. Friendly People who like talking for more than 1 minute
26. Caramel Spread
27. Red skins on your hot dogs
28. Real beer

One thing I don't miss is the sulfur smell from the Fraiser paper mill.
