Here's another option for home made bread. Ever heard of Boston Brown Bread? Traditionally it was made in coffee cans and it's steamed in a pot with water in it. Google it. So years back I found an alternative method of making it in 500ml straight sided canning jars. It turned out great and it keeps for a long time in the sealed jars. It's a very dense and heavy bread, a little goes a long way. Now according to the government of course they don't recommend canning breads etc but screw them, this is only bread and I've never even ever heard of an issue from canning this. I know I've opened jars that were still totally sealed after many months and it was still great. Don't over fill the jars or it will seep out as it expands. This is the recipe I use, I didn't add the vanilla and raisins as I don't want it too sweet. Make sure the jars are straight sided and as usual with canning don't over tighten the lids. http://canninggranny.blogspot.com/2012/01/canning-boston-brown-bread.html Cheers

From what I heard Fishing Charter operators are now shut down too. Makes sense I guess as you get folks confined in a small area. So what next,. recreational fishing?

Doug what kind of pot do you use? Does it have to be cast iron or ceramic coated? All I have is a 6 qt large heavy stainless pot that I use for soups and stews. Cheers

I always considered anything over 720P to be HD. Are you perhaps referring to UHD?

This is the one I make, certainly not overly complicated at all. Can't find any in stores anyway. Already had all the ingredients on hand including an old bottle of glycerine that has been around for ages. The Better (Spray) Recipe Isopropyl alcohol 99% Glycerol or glycerin Hydrogen peroxide Distilled water Spray bottle Mix 12 fluid ounces of alcohol with 2 teaspoons of glycerol. Mix in 1 tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide, then 3 fluid ounces of distilled or boiled (then cooled) water. (If you're working with a lower-concentration solution of rubbing alcohol, use far less water; remember, at least ¾ of your final mixture has to be alcohol.) Load the solution into spray bottles Cheers

I use no script and uBlock. Never see any ads at all ever. Blocking 4 with Noscript and 10 with uBlock atm. Stripe.com is one of them, no idea why it's on this site as it's used for online payment processing for business. Cheers

I can't seem to find that. Do you have a link? Tks

Now that looks good Spiel. A lot of folks don't realize how nice a stock you can get from the shrimp shells. I assume you simmered them after. After that the local pets sure do like those spent shells. Cheers

I'm a huge fan of Kipawa. Gorgeous lake and scenery. Paved road to the government dock in the village of Kipawa. Alwaki lodge is a 14 mile trip and Kipawa lodge is around 22 miles. Lakers, Walleye, Pike and now Smallmouth bass have been working their way South through the watershed. For more info check out the forums. http://kipawafishingforum.net/index.php Cheers

Beauty laker, wtg.

Well done lol.

So Dave if I have this right you are actually on a portion of the Yellowknife River north of route 4, Ingraham trail? Cheers

Wow, do you ever reread what you wrote, your posts are getting worse all the time with your hate filled ridiculous comments. Even your fellow leaf fans must be embarrassed with your lack of class in this thread and personal attacks. Now you're even resorting to slander and you don't even care if what you write is even true anymore. Lol like Chris and Pierre need a paycheck, like how lame is that if it's all you can come up with. I guess you don't watch TSN then right, Pierre is a well respected member there. But I guess you know more than anyone else about the Athletic because I've never heard that from anyone ever. Pretty sure I have it figured out though. Someone from the Athletic once said something negative about the leafs so in your hate filled fog you paint the company and all the respected reporters that the Athletic has hired with the same brush. How pathetic that you've sunk this low instead of actually talking hockey like most folks here.

Real good article on genetic testing done on the Eastern Coyote http://theconversation.com/yes-eastern-coyotes-are-hybrids-but-the-coywolf-is-not-a-thing-50368?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=facebookbutton

Chris I'm wondering where you get that idea about the Athletic? For a new venture they are doing quite well, in just over 3 years they hit over half a million subscribers.The two journalists I'm most familiar with are Pierre Lebrun and Chris Stevenson, who are both high quality individuals beyond reproach. I guarantee you neither one would work for a National Enquirer type rag. Cheers

Well if they whine and whine about it but then turn around and do the same thing, then yes that would fit the definition.

They look real good Spiel. That's a good looking garlic bulb too, if I recall you grow your own right. I noticed some of your preserves in the background. Is that a mustard pickle? Cheers

Chris I state facts about the leafs for the most part, along with some speculation. I don't know why you would have a problem with that. Here's a few more facts for you just for fun. On at least a couple of posts in the past I have mentioned about how the leafs were likely going to get in trouble from over working Andersen and not having a capable backup. Well it seems maybe I was correct. Andersen has been pulled in 2 of his last three games, and is sub .900 in 5 of his last 7 starts. Some of that no doubt may be due to the Leafs defensive woes, but I don't see any change for the better there. Muzzin is now LTIR so he's done for a good time. Leafs have now lost 3 in a row too, although they have done quite well over all with the new coach. Leafs are now 7th in the conference, Florida is 1 point behind with a game in hand, if they win that one and so does Philly win their game in hand it puts the Leafs into 2nd place in the wild card race tied in points with Philly and one point from being out of the playoffs. Plus Andersen is in the All Star weekend, to bad actually, I'm sure that the Leafs would much rather have him resting for the 5 day break, he really is the key to the team's success. These are all facts. If you consider this trolling and Leaf bashing then you're the one with the issue.These same points are no doubt being debated on every sports media out there right now, I'm just bringing it up on this thread for comment and discussion. After the Sens lost in OT to the Habs there were 5 posts in a row "bashing" the Sens, like so what, no biggee right, it's like normal sports bantering among the guys as I see it. Dave's first one was perfect and next one about the titanic must have been a product of that think tank I bet. Next few were meh hehe. So I didn't respond till later, but again you seem to miss the friendly banter here it seems and react with personal shots. You need to chill man. Cheers

Lol I wasn't butt hurt at all or crying, I was laughing. As for all those comments in the past you're right, I haven't read them. But I guess yea, that gives leafs fans the justification to do the same thing eh. So whos the hypocrite then?

Looks good. Were your mashed taters cold when you mixed it all up? An old Newfie buddy of mine said that was the trick to get the best cod cakes.

Well I hope you leafs fans had fun with all your childish comments. What did you do, put a think tank together and come up with all those comments? I guess that's your new tactic, start commenting on every sens game? Well looky here, I was just watching the Leafs game. Florida has 4 goals on 12 shots and Andersen gets pulled again. Looks like Andersen is starting to get worn out from having to play too much. Big surprise. So they put Hutch in goal, the leafs get a PP and Florida scores shorthanded to make it 5-0. Go figure lol.

I couldn't agree more, even right off the bat with him going to store to buy everything he seemed to grate on me. Best parts by far were those fish caught out of Cree Lake, that made it worthwhile watching.

That's exactly why I figure Bergevin is in as much if not more trouble than Julien. No one can argue with his coaching ability but he can only do so much with the players he has. He's had 7 years to find a first line center for the Habs starting with Galchenyuk in 2012 and in 2018 at 3rd with Kotkaniemi who has only 8 points this year. Meanwhile he had ,4,5,6 and 7 as Tkachuk, Hayton, Zadina and Quinn Hughes he could have taken. Rumours have it if they lose to the Sens tomorrow something will happen. We'll see.
