French food is great! But making the French people feel pain seeing their food used in ways they did not intend is also great. Behold, a cronut! Oh, I am getting death threats from a grandmere now.

I would add: Your jewelry is in a safety deposit box - no one has stolen it.

Also: No one is trying to poison you. The antacids are in the drawer in the bedside table.

Because that was what my grandmere kept believing and accusing staff of.

For two hours, HMCS Grandmère launched six depth charges but U-69 was not damaged and it returned to the Atlantic Ocean. HMCS Grandmère then went back to find survivors from the Caribou. The submarine was later sunk by HMS Fame on Feb. 17, 1943 in the North Atlantic.

At 3:41 a.m. Newfoundland Summer Time on Oct. 14, 1942, U-69 emerged from the water and torpedoed the Caribou 37 km southwest of Port aux Basque. HMCS Grandmère spotted the sub and tried to ram her but U-69 submerged itself.

#OTD 14/10/1942 #RememberRCN -SS Caribou (Newfoundland Government) torpedoed by U-69 in the Cabot Strait. The Newfoundland ferry was travelling from Sydney, Cape Breton to Port Aux Basques. HMCS GRANDMÈRE rescues 101 survivors, sadly 137 passengers and crew are killed.

The crew of HMCS Grandmère was criticized by some media for not immediately trying to gather survivors. That would have been against standard procedures as it could have placed the minesweeper in immediate danger. The ship was able to save a few dozen people.

I think it's cool how everyone sounds like my hyper-religious grandmere now and thinks that seeing one (1) peanuts or poussay will send you into the arms of Mrs. Satan. I'm sure this has nothing at all to do with the hard fascistic swing society is taken to-day.
People really act like they're gonna melt and scromit and be permanently spiritually stained if characters are shown to have a sexuality, be interested in sex, engage in sex at any level in media. Literally the most repressive and repressed shit in living memory.

Mia spilling the beans to grandmère (which btw it bothered me so much how happy she was after she found out about the break up and saying she should go after jp) was so funny but so sad at the same time

The Story of Grandmere
June 2, 2025 at 4:01 PM
"What're you doing?"
"You're the genius in this family, can't you tell?"
"Why are you burning sage?"
"Grandmere begged me to banish the spirit of sa pere from this house."
"Son père. It's son, not sa."
"There you go, all language #savant again...As if that was the important in what I said."

Je t’aime le Quebecoise! Ma grandmère était originaire de Ste. Françoise.
Quebec is the most anti-Trump province in Canada
According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, 20% of Canadians have a positive opinion of Donald Trump, including just 16% in Quebec, the province where favourability of Trump is the lowest.

A friend just confirmed that I’m not losing my mind (well, regarding this lol) — THEY CHANGED THE SCENT OF DAWN DISH SOAP. I opened up a bottle last week & thought, “why doesn’t this remind me of my Grandmere?” & reader, I got Actually Upset! I am Upset by this!

No don’t that’s how my grandmere died

My mother wanted to be a veterinarian, but when she applied to Cornell they told her that they “already had a girl in the program.” She was going to join a convent but my grandmère convinced her to try a year of college. (She became a teacher and later a radiation biology professor.)

I have a slightly older friend whose French grandmére was friends with Chevalier, and apparently, it was not little girls he liked.
