Great Places to visit in Canada

This is a city of about 400,000 and was founded in 1749. The biggest man-made explosion ever to occur before the Hydrogen Bomb, occurred in this city on December 6, 1917.

There`s lots to do here. For the history buff, there is the Citadel (on a hill in the centre of the city overlooking the harbour). Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Titanic Graveyard just to mention a few.

There is a large park at one end of the city and the Museum of Nova Scotia has much to entertain you.

This is the city where I was born and live in. It is less than an hours drive to famous Peggy`s Cove and about an hour to get to the World Heritage Site, Lunenburg. It is the nicest city in Eastern Canada ( though I might be biased)

Today, we will start with a Basic Canadian Dish.

We'll keep it simple (especially for you dumb city-slickers).

It's my famous Tomato Mush on Toast. Here's the recipe (I've typed it slowly 'cos I know some of you can't read quickly):

Ya get yourself a large can of diced tomatoes (as opposed to carded ones) - then ya get 4 to 6 eggs (you'll have to judge how much juice you want, the more eggs, the less juice). That's the basic concoction.

To that you add the extra ingredients that you like - I suggest onions, ground pepper and some small pieces of green pepper. When ya got it all in a bowl, ya beat the heck out of it (make sure the eggs are out of the shells first).

Then pour it into a frying pan that has a small bit of oil (cooking oil, you dummy) and turn the burner on (duh ...). Place frying pan on burner and wait until the eggs, tomato and stuff start to come to a slow boil.

Now you're ready to pour it over some toast (I assume you know how to make toast). For those of you who find that the tomato mush slides off the toast - use a plate (shhhheeeeee).

Enjoy !!!

(1) There are about 34,000,000 of us and we are not all related. We do not all live in igloos - in fact at least 10% of us live in houses with indoor plumbing.

(2) Most of us speak English, some speak French and even some speak something most of us don't understand - ask any Newfoundlander !

(3) Yes, we do have polar bears - more than any other country in the world but no, they do not roam into our cities.

(4) Our beer is better and stronger than American beer - Yep, that's a fact !!!

(5) We have telephones, radios,TV's and even the Internet - just got the Internet 2 years ago and we are still learning to use it. That's why you don't see many of us yet.

(6) Our 3 biggest cities are Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal (that's the French one). I live in Haifax - a city with a populaton of around 400,000 but none of us work.

(7) We have a train system that goes from coast to coast on a track that goes unbroken all the way from British Columbia to Newfoundland. However on the Newfoundland portion, it is recommended that you bring a diver's tank with you.

(8) We have no jails here as no one commits any crimes - we are just too lazy.

(9) 30 % of us can read and write - but I am not one of them.

(10) We are a friendly people with a sense of humor and we all would give you the shirt of our backs except most of us go around naked all day.

Now you know a little more about Canada. Aren't you glad you dropped by ?
