Maple Bacon Sandwich

It was sooo cold yesterday, the coldest day of our winter so far apparently.  It was -16C (about 3F) when I went to the gym in the morning.  There was a small amount of snow on the driveway so I did shovel quickly on my return home.  At least it was bright and sunny.  The trick is to dress in warm layers, gloves, boots and head covering are a must.  Husband M landed a free ticket that night to a hockey game downtown with a friend and reported great 3rd row seats behind a goalie.  By then the temperature was -20C (-4F) with a wind chill of -30C (-22F).

This is Tim Horton's new Maple Bacon breakfast sandwich, it's supposed to be with egg white, but that looks like a regular egg to me. I did taste the maple flavour in the bacon. Other than that, it could have been a McDonald's egg mcmuffin sandwich.  I should have uncovered my small latte for the photo!


I found an interesting article concerning '12 toxic behaviours that push people away from you'...it's a good list.

Oh wow that sounds cold Christine... I'm not going to mention or moan about the temperatures here in Bonnie Scotland after reading about yours.
I'm dressed with masses of layers here now, so heaven help me if I came over to you... I doubt I'd be able to move with so many layers on me.
Keep cosy and have a great week.

It's been horribly cold here, too. Dressing in layers is definitely the way to go. That is a very good list about toxic behaviours.

Interesting list of behaviors.
We don't have a Tim Horton's in Hawaii. But, I would love to taste that maple bacon.

it does look a little yellow for just the white, sounds good though,

Bacon, egg, and maple syrup? That sounds like a dream sandwich to me. I've heard the weather is pretty cold, and by pretty cold I mean extensively cold like what the hell. I didn't know weather could get that cold. I'm having quite a lesson in reality this week.

Have you ever baked brown sugar and maple bacon in the oven? Oh good gosh, what a treat. I have to do a blog on it some weekend.

Num, num, num.

PS: Looks like a full egg to me, too.

Sounds good! Valerie

I remember trying Tim Hortons when we were in Canada. It is very like our McDonalds, I believe.

Gosh that's cold! I hope you stay warm. I like my syrup no where near my eggs (or bacon if I ate it, but I don't), I believe in the separation of sweets and main courses...
