I really need to try making carnitas sometime. I did make oven pulled pork yesterday, which is always successful. What's your method?

That looks amazing. I've only been to Vij's a couple of times while in Vancouver, but it was spectacular.

Fingers crossed 🤞!

Oh god, probably. I’ll try to summon up some renewed strength…

I think you could manage it with reasonable facsimiles. If you have pretzels and Cheerios, you would just need to find tasteless “square” cereal(s) and some small cheese crackers. Nuts if you want (I usually just use peanuts). Most of the flavour is in the buttery mix. Worth a try!

Bugles are no longer available in Canada 😭

Great suggestion--thanks! 😀

I love that the recipe you posted takes Canadian realities into account! I hardly ever read the blah-blah-blah at the start of online recipes, but I did this time, and was glad for it. My turn is coming soon 👏

I loved putting Bugles in my nuts ‘n’ bolts just like my grandma did, but alas it is possible no more!

So good to know we can make sure they’re loved and comfortable for the rest of their lives 🥰

And Bubba is terrified of brooms and vacuum cleaners, including when you just walk by him carrying them. I think he must have been shooed away a lot 😿

Interesting! Do you know where the colony was/is? Bubba too was in a colony in or near Kamloops.
