McDonald's Fries and Gravy

McDonald's gravy is something I have slept on for many years (maybe even decades). I knew McDonald's in Canada had sold poutine for years, but I totally never thought of just getting gravy with my fries. I’m in Toronto and fries with gravy, aka fries and gravy is a staple in Toronto food. I can remember as far back as the late 80’s eating it at my local food joint. It was definitely around before the big poutine craze hit Canada in the mid 90’s. But anyways, this summer I was thinking about fries and gravy when I wondered if I could also get them at McDonald's (who has the best fries). So I went to my local  McDonald's and causally asked for some gravy and to my surprise they not only had it, but had been selling it for years.  The gravy cost $0.79, and it tastes really good.  Now that I’ve had McDonald's fries and gravy, I don’t think I can go back to just regular fries.

Nike SB Dunk Reese Forbes Hunter

These Nike SB Hunters were one of my first SB dunks I owned.  I remember my friend from work had taken the day off from work and then he suddenly showed up to say hello at the end of the day.  He was going to some event and had shown up casually wearing these shoes.  My mind exploded when I saw these shoes on him because I had never seen something so beautiful as these.  I asked him where he bought them, and then I went to the same store to buy them.  What a great time period to be into sneakers, as a hot release could literally stay on the shelves for weeks before selling out and retail was under $120!

My only regret now is that they feel very tight and I should have gone up a half size when I bought them.  Or maybe I’m just getting older and fatter and my feet just swell up, lol.  Honestly though these shoes are amazing because of the mix of materials such as canvas and burlap.  And although they do seem fragile, the quality is very good because I have seen people skate in them and they held up pretty well, though they are old now (released in 2004) so I don’t recommend skating in them now, lol.
