residency?... citizenship??...
i applied for permanent resident status this week. i've been poking around, and i only need 3 years under my belt (barring some unforeseen obstacle) to citizenship, and after grad school's up i'll be nearly there. this is good news, as i can skip paying a canadian to marry me.
banana "ice cream"
i made a little discovery after i was given an armload of old bananas. if you freeze them and then whip them up in the cuisinart, the similarity to soft-serve ice cream is almost spot-on. i found better results peeling and cutting them up before freezing. i've also begun toying with additions (cocoa, peanut butter, coconut...), all of which have been hugely successful. i feel almost fiendish having an ice cream experience with a whipped banana.
the boss
did you know springsteen wrote a song about me? sometimes if i'm feeling particularly amorous, i'll sing it to myself.
I wanna build me a house, on higher ground
I wanna find me a world, where love's the only sound
High above this road, filled with shadow and doubt
I want to shoulder my load, and figure it all out
With Leah
I walk this road, with a hammer and a fiery lantern
With this hand I've built, and with this I've burned
I wanna live in the same house, beneath the same roof
Sleep in the same bed, search for the same proof
As Leah
I got somethin' in my heart, I been waitin' to give
I got a life I wanna start, one I been waitin' to live
No more waitin', tonight I feel the light I say the prayer
I open the door, I climb the stairs...

why do you want to become a canadian citizen?
the banana puree ice cream sounds pretty good, though i hope the flavoring works well. i'm not a huge fan of banana flavored ice cream.
... why not? i get a number of benefits from being a permanent resident, and then it's easy to become a citizen after holding residency for a few years, by which time i may have established an impenetrable bond with hockey and tim horton's and pretty money and endless winters (and very sweet people).
as for the banana puree, just try it. it's nothing like banana flavored ice cream; probably because the latter uses chemicals. the additions are working very well- more recently i tried adding jam to great success. i'm still perfectly content with just banana, though.
