HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! 😀
Hope You and Your Loved Ones (Human & Furry) Have a Fabulous Day! <3

Yay! Glad the dental pain is going down. As for me, I went to a friend’s house and a group of us D&D’d Valentine’s day. Woo!

Sounds like everyone had a great Valentines Day !

I also had a GREAT day ! One of my best valentines ever, I have to say ! My guy treated me to pizza… a Donair pizza and another pizza with Pep., Green pepper, Mushrooms and bacon… mmmmmm ! To those who have never had donair, you dont know what your missing, it is to die for !!!

And to top it off, he got me this amazing surprise !! A toothless dragon, and he got it made at Build-A-Bear !!

Donair is a term for a type of meat, pronounced ‘dough-nair’. It used to be made years back with lamb (ewww !) but now is made with beef, and a mix of spices, cooked slowly on a vertical spit. The meat is shaved off this ‘meatlog’ and is then either served on a pizza, or in a pita wrap, typically with onions and tomatoes. Then there is the donair sauce, made up of condensed can milk, vinegar and garlic powder. Is is a nice yummy sweet sauce, and goes very well with this spicy meat. The doniar can also be served with mozzarella cheese on top (pita version), and its a must on top of the pizza. The pizza does not contain your typical pizza sauce, either, but it is served with the donair sauce I mentioned, on the side.

There are also Donair burgers (I never had one), donair egg rolls (Yummy!), and Donair sausage even.

It is typically found in the Eastern areas of Canada, with it being very common in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Some people say this is the birth place of the Donair 😉 This is also the fact why a lot of people have not heard or gotten to try this awesomeness 🙂 And Im sure to some people it sounds gross… lol! Cant blame them really, you gotta try it to really know how good it is ! And no, I dont find it overly spicy (it can be depending on where it is made, but I dont like it too spicy) and the sauce does not taste garlicy at all. I didnt even know there was garlic or vinegar in this awesome sweet sauce until I had read up on the recipe one day, lol !

Here is a recipe I found online: http://mmmisformommy.com/2011/12/donairs-halifax-classic.html

Some people say its a must have when one is drinking…. but I dont really drink myself, and I still love them! Anyways, so thats the Donair 🙂

Glad you liked toothless ! I have never been into Build-A-Bear myself actually. I have only ever walked past the store, lol! I didnt even know a person could get such cool items in there! And there is even a heart INSIDE of Toothless, that my guy picked out in the store, and they put it inside of him when they made him! How cool is that !! 😀 Have fun getting yours made ! 🙂

We have donairs here too and I like the sweet sauce although I have never tried a donair pizza but it sounds good! I got a couple of those toothless dragons from Build A Bear a few months ago when they had just come out and were super popular. I ended up selling them on ebay because I needed the money but then they brought them back again in the fall I think. So that’s cool they still have them now as they sold out fast when they first came out.

When my guy gave him to me, he had said the store told him they had stopped selling them at one point, but had just got them back instock to start selling them again 😉 Guess I was lucky !

He’s so cute Mindy…Love it 🙂

Thanks Mom 🙂 You will get to see him in person next time you get down, whenever the weather calms down enough, lol !
