Hi. I'm here to explore music.

A woman from New Zealand just won the Canadian tennis open in Toronto.
I think she had an oriental sounding name.

A lot of us in NZ have peculiar sounding names.

Who's Fonterra?
Is he another New Zealander who isn't making a play for Canadian tarsands oil?

You cheeky young rascal Fonterra is a NZ Dairy exporting company it has 30% of the world market and has been in the news for a botulism scare which proved to be untrue but unfortunately did our reputation a lot of harm.

The reason I didn't read about that is probably because of the Cronut illness at the Toronto Canadian National Exhibition, the CNE.
The Cronut, the sensational new food treat, is a deep-fried combination croissant and donut, $19.
It wasn't the fried bacon bits burger, the bacon flecked bun, the peameal bacon slices, or the bacon fat.
It was the maple bacon syrup that was tainted, with over 200 hospitalized.

I forget the name of the Italian company that was involved in scandalous foreign financial activity,
a few years ago, named after the city it originated in,
but that's the biggest and sometimes only foreign dairy product around here.
I'd get an extra kick if I was buying something from New Zealand.
Kiwis went from none to everyone having some, that's nice.

We have had that introduced in Wellington (our capitol city) I will have to wait until I go to the big smoke before I can try one ummmmm it sounds delicious.

On her return from New York my daughter introduced us to pancakes with bacon and Maple syrup. A suprisingly good combination.

It's still hard for me to believe I can buy unpasteurized buckwheat honey cheaper than maple syrup.
I was cutting up some hard peaches and dipping them in that, really nice.
