I'm extremely sorry to hear your experience.  The quality of their Cheese Cake is never stable . . . . for the last 30 years  :p .  I would have told them to take it off my bill.  It is one of the most famous items in Montreal, hence I mentioned it.  Now I only make it at home with left over Cheese+, search for recipes posted by Happyla3344.

As for Smoke Meat, believe everyone know the Swaz?? on St. Laurent.  The rest are really almost the same, Dunn's vs. ~Reubens vs. any store on St. Laurent except Swaz??

Fries . . . . .  have u compared it to LaFleur?

Weather warmed up a bit, went out to pickup groceries.  Had a little snack at Kentucky Fried Chicken(KFC) - "Les P'tits 2 du Mardi" = 2小pieces鸡+1小薯条= $2.79+taxes 。
Ask them for Louisiana Style Hot Sauce instead of Ketchup, similar sized packages.

There's a sales on ~ free # chicken nuggets/?? when u buy family sized bucket.

Check out their Poutine @ $3.99 + T (may be very small)
The new Poutine + ~chicken nuggets @ $4.99+T (looks good in picture)

MP最        大的本领是 SHOPPING A LA DES AMIS/AMIES! :p  无良的MP行动了！ 跑到朋友家，用自己的容器 注满朋友的面粉。起初，只是要取"一点"面粉 做scones 和 燕麦饼(oatmeal cookies)。倒阿倒的，倒了超过1公斤。 :eek: :cool:

之前在4楼写了"这(个 Scone)容易做，适用于 不爱吃太甜的人。"  详细地说，我爱这个Scones，因为:
基本的材料/成分 简单, +非常容易做，+速度快(烘烤10-15分钟)，+许多变化，甜或咸香，随意。食谱差不多就行。

在70年代后期，CBC有一个早晨的烹饪节目，MP最怀念的是她的预混(premixed)东东。提前混合干燥的成份，制成半成品。然后，当你想烤/做 东东时，只需要添加 湿的成分，非常方便，快速和多用途的，e.g. muffin/cake/etc. all from same mix。       

现在，不知道在哪里可以找到类似的食谱。从Crisco的网站上，发现类似的东西，但不是很好。同学们可以看看：
1. Pie Crust Mix - http://crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=862
2. Quick Bread Mix - http://crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=865
3. Cookie Mix - http://crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=3055
4. Fudge Brownie Mix - http://crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=855
5. Whole Wheat Pancake Mix - http://crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=867

MP只看上Quick Bread Mix食谱，Apple Kuchen貌似不错，在http://crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=570
