Nope....no Tim Hortons.....and I don't think he ever got those beaver tails either.
This was a quickie business-only trip. Too bad.

Hi Bina,
I just watched Anderson Cooper 360 degrees and I thought I saw you waving to our president? Am I right?! or was that Freddie?!

Actually the CBC said last night he picked up some cookies and a beaver-tail at the market. Apparently he said he'd score points with the kids.

no, ChouFou, he's been away from the states. this is his first official visit outside the U.S. since he became president.
Confirmation: The Prez did purchase 2 large maple leaf shaped cookies with red icing for his daughters.
He tried to pay with Canadian money and the bakery clerk refused it.....
No kidding, our money ain't worth sh-t right now.
The cookies were a gift from the clerk to Obama's daughters. Nice gesture.

"Beaver Tails"
Canadian Doughnuts
" If you ever visited Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the winter months on the Rideau Canal, which is the longest skating rink in the world, they serve a sweet pastry, that is essentially a flat doughnut with sugar on top.
Dough:
1/2 cup warm water
5 teaspoons dry yeast
pinch of sugar
1 cup warm milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
4 1/4 - 5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
oil for frying
granulated sugar for dusting
cinnamon
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yeast, warm water and pinch
of sugar. Allow to stand a couple of minutes to allow yeast to swell or dissolve.
Stir in remaining sugar, milk, vanilla, eggs, oil, salt and most of flour to make soft dough. Knead 5-8 minutes (by hand or with a dough hook), adding flour as needed to form a firm, smooth, elastic dough. Place in a greased bowl.
Place bowl in a plastic bag and seal. (If not using right away, you can
refrigerate the dough at this point). Let rise in a covered, lightly greased bowl, about 30-40 minutes. Gently deflate dough, (if dough is coming out of the fridge, allow to warm up about 40 minutes before proceeding).
Pinch off a golf ball sized piece of dough. Roll out into an oval and let
rest, covered with a tea towel, while you are preparing the remaining
dough.
Heat about 4 inches of oil in fryer (a wok works best but you can use a Dutch oven or whatever you usually use for frying). Temperature of the oil should be about 385 F. Test by tossing in a tiny bit of dough and see if it sizzles and swells immediately. If it does, the oil temperature is where it should be.
Stretch the ovals into a tail - thinning them out and enlarging them as you do. Add the beaver tails to the hot oil, about 1-2 at a time.
Turn once to fry until the undersides are deep brown. Lift beaver tails
out with tongs and drain on paper towels.
Fill a large bowl with a few cups of white sugar . Toss beaver tails in
sugar (with a little cinnamon if you wish) and shake off excess.
You can also top off Beaver Tails with whatever preserves, pie fillings or even just powdered sugar.

FYI, the official "Obama" beaver tails have whipped cream sprayed on in the shape of an "O" with a bit of chocolate sauce drizzled on top.

You put me to shame

Bina:
When the President was here on Wednesday (3 miles from our home), we were in the doctor's office when his plane landed. We were in the doctor's office when he traveled the thruway for about 15 miles to reach his destination.
When he spoke at Dobson High School, in the Gym we were still in the doctor's office.
When Airforce One left the Phoenix airport about two hours later, guess where we were!!!! Well, actually, we were in a restaurant, ordering lunch.
Heck, if I knew it was such fun, I would have changed the doctor's appointment...nah!!!
