Nanaimo bars! Perfect.

 

[Uuaww]

Yes, Greece always marches first and the host nation marches last. The host nation will always have the most athletes since they are guaranteed athletes in every sport. Not that it matters since Canada does well in most winter olympic sports.

I've never had a huckleberry, I wonder where they grow?. My suggestion for dessert would be Nanaimo bars! They're not anything super ethnic, but they're very popular in the British Columbia area because of the town of Nanaimo, which they're named after.

OK, *I* have never heard of a Nanaimo Bar!! What is it? A cookie? A granola bar? Yes, I can go google it, and I will, but I haven't even had my first cup of coffee yet!
Don't worry though - it's brewing as we speak...

For your reading enjoyment lmao: ) a 70 page paper on the distribution of huckleberries in Washington. I would suggest skimming it because EGAD its dry reading!!

I have an assignment for all of you Pacific Northwestern'ers this coming summer. Seek out some fresh huckleberries and eat them. Try them in pancakes or muffins, try them fresh with a little sugar and cream. Try them with a little sugar over angelfood cake with gobs of fresh whipped cream. They are amazing.

They are also bloody expensive. Find your own patch and pick if possible; they can sell for upwards of $30 a gallon.
