I looked it up. It is a french expression meaning "of the highest quality", literally referring to behind the bundles of wood. It's vert old french so it might be used in Quebec and rural France.

This is brutal butchering of remembered French. I think it might be a bad translation but I'm reading it as The Back Woods lol. Derriere is behind or back. It could also be about someone's ass. Who knows?

I've drank them occasionally my whole life. Recently, it has become a nightly habit. I'm sad because I've run out. I only have caffeinated teas left, and it's far too late for that.

Great to hear that. I knew it was a motor thing. Even my old blender gets warm but I understand the Vitamix motor friction causes the heat. It's so neat. It also blows my mind that the friction and the blade action can produce sorbet and iced desserts.

Thanks, yeah, I would definitely be cautious to let it cool down before making a cold item after a hot. The Nama juicers are definitely my kind of product but I don't think I have the counter space and I really want fibre. I take it your daughter likes the Vitamix? Thanks very much for the tips!

Thanks Julie, I really appreciate your advice and it confirms a lot of what I have been thinking. Also, it's nice to hear from you across the skyline. Hope you are keeping well.
