Lunch was at Mom’s Fries and Variety. We ordered Poutine Quebec style; a huge stack of fries layered with a liberal helping of cheese curds smothered in a big messy ladle of gravy.   The cheese was all melty and stringy and this medium sized order felt like it weighed a kilogram.  It was plenty to share.

I told you Timmons is a mining town right? It is to the extreme.  Along the main drag through town there are lighted, digital signs that inform everyone the time of the next blast in the open pit mine in the middle of town.  I guess it’s a good thing to know!

Beautifully manicured parks are scattered about town each populated with a least a few pieces of retired and now rusted mining equipment. There is a lovely monument to miners lost though the years.

What are those weird curly looking green things at the farmers market? Garlic skates.  The fellow selling them says they are a mild tasting garlic, good for dips or even just to cook with.  Interesting looking.
