No, that's all down to us trying to assemble our furniture with Allen wrenches

I'd make some lame comment about international ice hockey competition, but I won't. Mainly because:

- only Canadians care about ice hockey. Including Swedes, even when they win gold.
- the Swedes win ice hockey gold sometimes, so it would only increase the lame.
- 'we're better than you at hockey' is only truly satisfying when said to Americans. And even then it's pretty lame. America wins gold at hockey sometimes too. Usually at the direct expense of Canadians.
- it's still too Summer to talk about hockey: I've still got all this rugger and golf and baseball to enjoy.

I like beans in chili.

I've always wanted to go to Sweden. Now I know not to order the chili when I do.

Might have forgotten to mention we only use one chili fruit as well, which gets put in a bottle of Absolut vodka. So it might just be a bottle of vodka...

It thought it was never too much summer to talk ice hockey for a Canadian?

Never had chittlin's in my life and I don't like sweet potatoes.

Mostly we eat stuff like chili, sandwiches, salad, stuffed baked potatoes. That kind of thing. You guys make me jealous.

All good stuff! I'm crazy about chilli (I see many here are), beans or no beans. My own is very good, but I've had varieties that were totally different yet still awesome.

Well, here in Motown, we have another nickname as well... perhaps you've heard of us?

Okay, so back to food (though the Hockeytown Cafe' is semi on topic). Last night's dinner, local favorite Chinese takeout, General Tso's chicken.
