Look up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_cake               That explains it well and shows a pic.        Google it too for more info. 
There are even recipes on Google.                        Cheryl R

Unfortunately, funnel cakes cannot be replicated at home.

Well for starters I grew up in Canada and did not come to the USA, to live anyway, until the late 1990's. (Hubby is American- the kids dual)

So tell me do you know what Nanaimo Bars are... No?...  :o
Eh gads dear where have you been? ;) :D

This is what they are and everyone where I came from knows about these -at Christmas Parties.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanaimo_bar

Two Christmas Holiday parties ago my neighbor had to explain to me what a snicker doodle was. Turns out these are German and I had a recipe in my Joy of Cooking book all these years...

This is great as my 2nd year AN party is turning into a cross cultural pot-luck. I love it. :)

My favorite American treat I cannot refuse is DOVE chocolate... created originally by a Greek- American from Chicago.

DHM,

Congratulations of your second ANiversary.  I would love to come to  your party.  I'll bring pasties (a Yooper, Upper Peninsula of Michigan traditional food), some deep fried Milky Ways, ( another fair treat to go with the funnel cakes), and some Mackinaw City Sweet Riesling wine to wash it all down.

Ok OK I admit I has to look up the term "Yooper"... I am getting some lesson in American Culture here

How on earth does one deep fry a milky way?

(BTW- so glad you are coming too- Jean  :))

* I'll bring the perogies and garlic mushroom sauce too ( Mushrooms hand picked up in the woods)...... very very yummy


PEROIGIES! I LOVE perogies. Best ones I ever had were at a festival  in Vegreville, Alberta. I am not sure what was more memorable the perogies or the biggest Easter Egg I had ever seen in my life. It was gianourmous!

Feast your eyes at this one

Just asked the hubby about the Nanaimo Bar - he lived in Calgary for Middle School and part of HS (& then his parents moved back to Calgary until right before our wedding for his Dad's job).  I have had plenty of Canadian dishes over the years of being in that family but haven't ever had that one.  I'll have to ask my MIL about them!  ;D  You can make Queso at home - it is VERY easy & VERY yummy!!

DMH ~

A slighted belated but sincere happy anniversary wish on your second 'ANniversary'.  Definitely an occasion worth celebrating!  Enjoy!

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Congratulations DMH!
Your pictures are wonderful, it is so nice to put a face to a name. I hope you had a great time with your family, you have lots to celebrate! Life is wonderful and you are doing so well. I was so pleased to read that your energy has returned 99%.
By the way the spread is delicious, I am stuffed! Try that stuff at the end of the table, not sure what it is called but it was sweet and gooey and yummy.
Here's a toast to DHM for happiness and laughter always!

I would LOVE it too!!  I guess we can dream, huh??  If I had all the money in the world...actually, I don't need it all - just enough to see my family and friends needs taken care of and a little left over to go visit all my friends whenever I wanted!!  ;D
