When getting dressed in Canada (during the colder months) you have a couple options. You can wrap yourself in nylon, fleece and any other type of margarine based product OR you can surround yourself in natural fibers such as wool, cotton, and bacon. Sure bacon isn’t the greatest insulator, but eat enough of it and you won’t need a sweater.
Shopping at The Bay is as Canadian as wearing a fur-lined toque while playing hockey, while eating poutine, while getting health care. The Bay stripes have been adorned on blankets, mitts, toasters, and now Senny and me.
March this year has come in like a MF lion. It has been killer. I was in Spring mode. I was shopping for swimming suits. I was just about to clear off the patio when this cold snap came and slapped me in the face. Maybe, similar to the groundhog, I’ll just stay inside for a bit longer.
But not too much longer….. I have tomatoes to plant!!

I guess if one consumes enough bacon, one can come to resemble a pig, then come full circle and wrap oneself in a blanket to create the classic 'pig in blanket,' or worstenbroodjes.
