Afternoon Snack: There is a god — poutine, the legendary Canadian/Québécois side dish composed of french fries, squeaky cheese curds, and brown gravy, finally is trending stateside.

Careful investigation of poutine availability in the U.S. led Scott Hume at Burger Business to report this week that “more and more American burger bars and other restaurants are catching on.”

“Poutine is tasty, fun, and messy and some of the best young American chefs are having a ball with it,” he says.

It may take a major chain to get poutine rolling off (or on) the tongues of Americans, but Wendy’s is well-positioned to make that happen. When the chain recently started offering the dish in Canada, it started a “Poutition” to make poutine the country’s national dish.

Until then, here’s the do-it-yourself version.

First time I had poutine was in the Canada pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo. So good and this is making me hungry!

At the cemetery for Memorial Day since my grandpa on my dad’s side was a corporal in World War II. He died before I was born though so I never knew him. Since my dad has a bunch of American flags that he got for free at a garage sale, he started putting them on all the veteran graves here too. It’s peaceful and nice outside but cemeteries always made me uneasy.

Title: Back To December Artist: Taylor Swift 1 play

Back To December - Taylor Swift

There’s something about this song that seems so appropriate.

Target has pledged $120,000 in cash to promote the legalization of homosexual marriage.

Just saw this in an email from one of my professors who is an adviser for the Lesbian and Gay Vet Med Association at school. Target’s website says it will donate 100% of T-shirt sales from customers during the month of June to Family Equality Council. 

See the t-shirts here.

The big thing about it though is that this has been going around anti-gay organizations, and they’re rallying people to complain to the higher-ups at Target and even boycott their store, just like what happened with the Girl Scouts when they allowed a trans* girl join.

So we need to try to support Target in this if we can. If you can’t go buy a shirt, you can email them at press@target.com to show your support. It will only take a few minutes, and it’s for a cause that I think is really near and dear to a lot of us here. Signal boost please? I can’t reach enough people with this on my own.

Target is one of my favorite places to shoppp.

Jennifer Nettles and John Glosson - Stay

I ended up watching Duets on Thursday because, well, Community isn’t on anymore. It’s actually pretty interesting and I like the interaction the “judges” have with their contestants. Anyway, favorite of the night goes to John Glosson performing with Jennifer Nettles. So far, I’m Team Jennifer Nettles even though I thought I would love the Kelly Clarkson duets.

L.A. City Council approves ban on supermarket plastic bags: Los Angeles today became the largest city in the nation to adopt a ban on plastic bags at supermarket checkout lines, handing a major victory to clean-water advocates who sought to reduce the amount of trash clogging landfills, the region’s waterways and the ocean.

Cooooool! Back in Shanghai, you had to either bring your own bag (good thing I had my backpack everywhere) or pay for them when you bought things at grocery stores. I’m glad that they are working on phasing them out here too.

Fantasmic 20th Anniversary

Took a break from life and went to Disneyland yesterday to see the Fantasmic anniversary show for annual passholders. Rona and I met up with Chris and Chi since they made the reservations for us and we got our yellow wristbands. Just some things to point out:

  • Nothing too different in terms of the show. Well, I don’t think there was anything different except for a short video about the making of Fantasmic projected onto the water before the actual show started.
  • I had to scramble to get that first picture of the 20th Anniversary logo. I thought they were going to have it up right after the show ended, but it looked like they weren’t going to so we decided to go straight to Pirates instead. When we got to the entrance to the building though, it went up! I decided to ditch the line so I could take a picture and got it right before they turned it off. Whatever, I thought it was worth it!
  • They had some special food and stuff for the event. I got some blueberry drink (which tastes a lot like the blue gatorade and was really good), a Fantasmic cupcake (which a good amount of ended up on my shirt during the scramble to get a good viewing spot), and a souvenir tub with popcorn. I kinda wanted to try the macaroni and cheese hot dog but I wasn’t thaaat hungry at the time.
  • The park closed to regular visitors at 10 and to the people who went to the Fantasmic event at 1. At the end of the night, a bunch of the characters hung out by the Disney railroad on Main Street for a photo op.
  • Belle was in such an awkward position! She got pushed into the back behind Mickey and Minnie and it was like she was fighting to be seen. Plus, there were the awkward third wheel moments when Minnie and Mickie were playing around with each other and all Belle could do was smile.

There are only 21 days left that I can go to Disneyland unblocked before the massive summer blockout starts, and I’m working on most of those days. How inconvenient.

Oh whaaaaaat.
