General Aug 29, 2008 The Waffle 1 Comment So, while I was doing a panel on CFRA, Senator John McCain announced that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin would be his vice presidential candidate.

If McCain does indeed succeed and becomes the next President of the United States of America, what will happen when he goes to Russia? Well, we would have the McCain-Poutine summit. Hmmmmm…  Not sure how tasty that would be. (Yes, I know, in english he is Putin. And he is no longer the President.  Stop being a bunch of nit pickers.) .

At any rate, here is what my first week looked like – Monday, August 11 2008: Lunch: I reviewed my visit at the Terrazza Trattorria & Case da Carlo here. Dinner: I wanted to get an an update on Westmount-Ville Marie, so I went with Jerry to the Bâton Rouge near the Bell Centre, in the old Moe’s Deli building.  We shared a Louisiana Spinach Dip before I digged in a grilled sirloin salad.    The dip was warm and creamy and came with sides of salsa and sour cream.  There was tons of chips, tons of dip, its a good think we shared.  As for the salad, it was made of mixed greens, grilled zucchini and roasted red pepper. The 7 oz sirloin…
