Please, do and let me know how to save it! It is ridiculous. Seriously. Whatever you eat will make you live longer. That is my conclusion. You?

I love that the first picture in the slideshow is pancakes with syrup and three sausage links. Not sure if that's supposed to go with Canada, or just tempt us to click so we can see more pictures of food.

It does go with Canada. They have the best maple syrup up there, the grade C kind. We don't have that in the U.S., unless you can find what's called cooking maple syrup. The Canadian syrup is less sugary and more maple-flavored.

The Canadian syrup is less sugary and more maple-flavored. Gah! I knew there was a reason why I liked theirs better even though you can get Canadian stuff here. I wonder if Costco carries the good stuff cuz I saw Canadian stuff there.

But if you live north (as in close to the border with Canada) you might be able to find it there. Ours does not have it. I can get it at a specialty store or two, at something like $20 for six to eight ounces. Pricey, but totally worth it.

I haven't clicked on the article but I am willing to bet Iceland is on there and it mentions lots of fish and grass fed lamb and vegetables.

And there are countries who eat tremendous amount of potatoes and beets. Guess who (Canada). And bit of red meat or red meat all the time is making you loooong living people! And soon I am sure smoking will make itself back as some great way to reduced stress before you catch cancer stage, and drinking...............should I even start NOW? Well, I did...so, I am going to live forever, tell your kids about me...

LMAO!!! You do have a way with words msloony.
However even though my countryfolk will live long lives I live here in the good ole US, hate fish and veggies (and the lamb here is terrible when you know what good lamb is so don't eat that either), smoke and drink and love red meat, so I will probably not.

Israel and Germany do to. So why go where you have been already? Unless you don't like matza balls or herring?

It's not my membership, really. Old husband has the membership; I just go along to make sure he doesn't spend too much. And sometimes for deals on things I actually need.

I am always going to be Icelandic so they care.

I am always going to be Icelandic so they care. You can always play the role... Like 'gooten morgen' or 'shalom' - not so difficult. I am about to. What do you say being Icelandic if I ever want to goo and freeze left over of my 'used to be awesome ass' there?
And btw do Icelenders care about size of women asses?

Nope they could care less how big your azz is. And it has been colder in most the US this winter than it has been in Iceland. But you will have to get used to only 2 hrs of daylight in December and 24 hrs of daylight in June and July and August.

It was in the Brandon Costco that I saw it, but it was around Christmas time and slightly hidden on the outside wall. I'm not too worried, my parents (if not me too) go to Canada every summer so I can get it then. Maybe I should sell 1/4 cups of the stuff I have in my cabinet!

I'm on the other side of the state from you. I'd figure with all the visitors we get (Canadian and others), we'd have it. I'm heading north later this year, so I'll keep an eye out for more. I try to schedule a 5K or 10K race in the Miami area every so often (if DH does not have a car show-related event there) so I can get the syrup from the only store that I know carries it.
