wrenches into the enforcement system here. Perhaps your
lawyers are less smart or less predatory than ours.

Or perhaps the CRTC lawyers are equally mean and nasty too and up to

the task. On the internet side, they just worked jointly with the
RCMP to shut down some particularly nasty spammers who were using
RAT malware. The only spam I get these days is of foreign origin
(including American) not Canadian.

I get mostly foreign.

If you like KFC, you'll love Popeye's.

I do! I haven't been to one in ages but it has recently expanded
into Canada and there are now outlets in Edmonton. Nandos too. I'll
probably hit both of them the next time I'm there. That won't be for

Nando's is fine, but Popeye's is important enough that we
nearly abandoned one of our barbecue stops for one.

a while thing as our next trip to Alberta is only going to be as far
as Roslind's "hometown" which is in fact just a tiny unincorporated community between High Level, Fort Vermilion and Le Crete. It's
called Rocky Lane; you can Google Map and Wikipedi it if you care
to. It has a rural community hall and a regional school with a fleet
of buses, but no stores or services. They are having a community
reunion at that hall on Aug 3. Lexi and Charlee will be going with
us.

What will the ratio be between current and former
residents, I wonder.

Diago who bought Seagrams from the Bronfmans
decided to sell off some of their lower priced, lower quality
products to Sazarac including Seagrams

Abandoning the low end? How self-destructive. For
the bottom line, that is.

They got a ton of cash for the deal and it might give their premium
brands more respectability. That's their hope anyway. (I note that Constellation Brands and Gallo have not sold off or shut down their
worst brands yet though.)

They know on which side their bread is buttered.

Title: About Zelnik

I knew a guy named Zebnik once.

Zelnik is a traditional pastry from the Balkans composed of thin
layers of phyllo pastry filled with combinations of sirene, eggs,
sorrel, browned meat, leeks and rice; in winter, the filling may
also include brined cabbage and spinach, from which the dish derives
its name: zelje (Macedonian) means spinach. Zelnik is served with
yoghurt and its best eaten warm.

The yogurt garnish seems a bit redundant.

Zelnik is similar to a dish popular in Turkey and Central Asia,
called yesil borek (green patty) Borek. Unlike zelnik, cabbage Borek
is made for holidays and festivals and is served with kefir. The
crust and the layers of Borek are thicker and other spices are used.
Mostly Zelnik is made with leek and sirene (white cheese).

How lovely is that, not.

All I have to say to that is baa, er, bah.
