Canada and Chorizo Gravy

I'm in one of the 3 largest cities in Canada, Vancouver, British Columbia, over the weekend. Cloudy and rainy today but I still love it here. Last year my friend Rob from Malaysia came to visit, and I cooked every meal. What he liked the most was my buttermilk biscuits with chorizo gravy that I made every morning because he kept asking for it. . Anyway,  he got married today-it was last minute; he had been talking to his fiancĂ© , Diane for months about my cooking. She surprised him by paying for my flight to Vancouver. She picked me up at the airport and drove me to her fiance's Bachelor's Party.  The look on his face.- he was so happy and surprised.  This morning for breakfast, I made
Brouillade de Truffes ( eggs with black truffles),  my buttermilk biscuits with chorizo gravy, and something new that I been making recently- sweet potato biscuits with apple butter spread and Canadian bacon, for the happy couple, the best man and his wife, and Rob's parents.   
They all asked for seconds of everything, and I had to make more. I didn't mind. Asking for seconds of my food is one of the my favorite compliments.

Stupid people

So, this morning on the train  I overheard a woman talking to a guy next to her, and they were both complaining about the Affordable Care Act, and how much they hated the President shoving socialized medicine down our throats. Then she said :

‘If he wins the presidency again, I’m moving to Canada.’

And so I said,
‘Oh, where there’s socialized medicine?’
she looked at me, her face like a deer caught in the headlights.
Then the guy said, ' we should move to Australia then.'
And then I said,
‘Oh, where there’s socialized medicine?’
Then she  said 'somewhere in Europe then."
And then I said,
‘Oh, where there’s socialized medicine?’

Then they had nothing more to say.
