From the then-president's czar over the U.S. converting, "The United States is inching inexorably towards metrification."

I only like them with french onion dip. <br /><br />I've never tried ketchup-flavored chips. That sounds interesting and not too bad (kind of like crunchy, thin french fries, I guess.) I like BBQ, and sour cream & onion chips.<br /><br />I think Five Guys offers vinegar for fries. Again, I don't like vinegar so I avoid it at all costs, usually. (My dad, on the other hand, has ruined good slaw by adding vinegar to it!)<br /><br />You should sign up for Red Robin's birthday club. That's about the only time we go. :)<br /><br />Glad the jelly tastes good!<br /><br />How did the gingerbread house turn out?

As a general population, the United ...Potato chips. As a general population, the United States is much more enamoured with plain chips than Canada is. That isn't to say that no one likes them (because you do) BUT there isn't quite the selection that exists elsewhere. I meant to link up to this <a href="http://xkcd.com/1609/" rel="nofollow">xkcd comic</a> but forgot to. It's pretty funny.<br /><br />Ketchup flavoured chips are a yummy, yummy thing in Canada. :)<br /><br />Not ketchup WITH chips, but ketchup-flavoured chips.<br /><br />Vinegar flavoured chips are also a thing. But also vinegar on fries (like, McDonald's has packets of vinegar to squirt on your fries, to go along with ketchup if you like (and I do)). I've never been to Red Robin. <br /><br />The jelly turned out a little too runny, actually. But it still tastes good. :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-81706773011573044642015-12-20T08:20:15.527-05:002015-12-20T08:20:15.527-05:00By chips did you mean potato chips or french fries...By chips did you mean potato chips or french fries because I totally love flavorful potato chips? Original is too boring. And I like ketchup with french fries unless they have that spicy salt on them like Red Robin has. Then I can take or leave the ketchup. Vinegar ... never. I loathe it.<br /><br />Glad your jelly turned out well!

Though I had to laugh that you spelled flavor the Canadian way. . .although maybe that makes sense since we seem to know what flavor is! Also totally in agreement on the metric system thing. I still am only so-so with converting outside temperatures from F to C. I finally just changed it in my phone so it would tell me what the outside temperature is in C. why convert when my phone can do it for me :) PS We had Christmas today because we don't want to bring a lot of stuff to Canada. Robby loved the book you recommended! We're excited to read it as a fam!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296610164656616248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-28624223867229503442015-12-19T23:53:35.267-05:002015-12-19T23:53:35.267-05:00Apparently Geramans don't really like spicy ei...Apparently Geramans don't really like spicy either or too sweet for that matter. They want like half the amount of sugar in their deserts. Weirdos! I feed my kids salsa as soon as they will eat it ;)Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.com
