Chowhound Canada is built on the fur trade of beaver furs traded by the First Nations people to the English and the French. Back then fur is all the rage in Europe and so both the English and the French came to establish their trading posts here.

Chowhound Yeah, a supper club is actually a lot of fun. Me and a couple of friends at work all love collecting cookbooks, but then again, we really don't use them. We just buy them, flip through them and steal ideas for meals. We hardly ever follow recipes to a T so we...

Chowhound Yes, I am a proud true blue Pinay married to a Canadian. We've been together 6 years, there's been some trying times (adjusting to a foreign land and cultural differences) but we're just as happy as the day we were married.

For those who don't really know what MAY-DECEMBER affairs are, these are actually relationships of extreme age gap. Perhaps the man is older than the girl (by 10-20 or more years) or it be the girl is older than the guy (old...

Chowhound My hubby is more than 30 years older than me. We've been together for nearly six years now and we're still going strong. We're both happy that things worked out great for us. He's now retired and I am a hard working full-time career woman and part-time...

For our family, it is food. It takes about a quarter of our monthly income. Maybe it is because food is expensive in the Philippines. I guess for some it would be rent or housing. How about you? What is your biggest expense in a...

Chowhound When I'm taking a shower or when I'm soaking in the tub, I wear my birth suit. When I go swimming, I wear either a two-piece or a one piece bathing suit. :-)
