I really should pay more attention to what Doug Speirs is doing.

Recently, our funny man was a judge at the Great Manitoba Food Fight: Forks Edition, an event at which local entrepreneurs battled to see who offered the tastiest, most marketable new food product.

Not only would keeping up with Doug keep life very interesting, it would mean I wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity to promote my ought-to-be-famous liver-on-a-stick-snack-food-treat.

I’m new to these parts so you probably have not heard of it. But the sumptuous dish was famous for miles around in Fredericton, N.B. from whence I came. Well, maybe not miles around, perhaps blocks around, certainly desks around. I clearly remember a newsroom neighbour saying, “Oh my God, what is that thing?” And later on, someone said, “She’s brought that thing again,” so famous is not an understatement.

The headlines were blaring bad news of the economy earlier this week when I was visiting my home province of Ontario.
