Thought of Ron Today

[Sherri]

We picked up GraceAmazing and her husband from the airport in Memphis today and took them downtown to find a place to eat. There's a new restaurant that we ate at called "Crazy Canuck" and so I thought of Ron immediately (NOT that he's crazy!). Anyway, it was very rustic and had some options I'd never heard of, but we had good food. They had some kind of Canadian dessert that started with an "N" and had "Bar" at the end, but I can't remember the name of it now, but it sounded VERY rich.

I don't know if it's a chain or just in Memphis, but I liked it!

I are a crazy Canuck!
I don't know what the name of the Restaurant refers to but in the seventies & eighties "the crazy canucks" were skiing champs who took on the europeans at a sport they excelled in-skiing!

The desert you are talking about is probably "Nanaimo Bars"
- Nanaimo Bars first appeared in cookbooks in the 1950s and take their name from their birthplace on Vancouver Island.

I don't care for them, too sweet for me & I keep telling my wife I am sweet enough!

Thanks for thinking of me, I hope the food & service was good?

That was it!!! I thought they sounded wonderful but the waitress actually told us NOT to get them, as they were so sweet one bite would do you in. Obviously she does not know my reputation with sweets!

The service and food were both great! They had pictures of Canadian mounties everywhere, and in the logo, so I'm not sure exactly what it was all about.

Yep, Cindy wins! She gets to make these and mail them out to everybody now.

These look amazing!!! Now I wish I had ordered them.

I thought I heard the Nanaimo Bars were not available here in the USA. Maybe that has changed. Some Canadian ladies on another message board a few years ago were trading recipes.
