But everyone says hello to us, even if we're perfect strangers.<br /><br />We're still very much amused by all the Texas-shaped things too - we did get a Texas-shaped cutting board, though, which has the convenience of having a built-in handle.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy all the meat substitute products, which are plentiful here. I'm certainly enjoying the dairy substitutes! :)Améliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979366182990756619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31689883.post-29436066289282568152010-09-23T10:52:40.191-05:002010-09-23T10:52:40.191-05:00Oh, Texas!

One of the things that most struck me when visiting years ago was the evident state pride -- I've never lived anywhere where people will talk about how they're <i>so proud</i> to be from the Great State Of. For that reason, it particularly amused me that virtually everything is shaped like Texas, even if it's rather impractical: signs! Tortilla chips! Waffles!<br /><br />Also, you've definitely corroborated my opinion that one of the chief differences between the US and Canada is that the US makes consumerism bewilderingly, terrifyingly easy. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing, in my opinion, though I'm unreservedly looking forward to the US's wide selection of vegetarian fake meats.Katiehttp://www.jejune.net/bitsnoreply@blogger.com
