  1. I'm a huge hot sauce fan. I make my own sauces. Everything from a mild jalapeno sauce to a scorching scotch bonnet sauce. Last year dad grew me a couple Bhut Jolokia plants. I got the seeds from ebay from a guy in Hamilton. I made a sauce out of them.....By far the hottest sauce I've ever made!! A teaspoon in a large pot of chilli makes it unedible for the average person! I can only handle a little bit of it! I bring it out at parties when someones running there mouth about how they like hot stuff and my other sauses aren't hot enough! Always good for a laugh! As far as growing it...it has the same likes and dislikes as the Habenaros you grew last year. Treat it like any pepper plant. The ones my dad grew never turned red. Most were light green at the end of the season. Some had a slight orange tinge. However they were still very hot!!! I can't imagine what a fully rip Bhut Jolokia would be like!! Good luck, let us know how it turns out!
  2. Dana, thanks for the info!! Joeytier, I agree!! My post should have read "Greater New Liskeard Area". Thanks for the tip!
  3. I have a work trip to the New Liskeard area planned for July 29 to August 3. The reason I accepted the trip is for the potential fishing opportunities!! I've never been to the area and was hoping for a little help! My first stop will be at the local fishing store. I hope to pick up some of the local "hot" lures and get some info. All I could find on Google was John's Tackle Box. Are there any other in the area? I'll be working long days but hope to get out for some evening shore fishing. Can anyone recommend any locations? I hate asking for shore fishing spots but even some general locations or starting points would be greatly appreciated. I plan to drive along the shoreline until I find a spot to stand and cast! Does anyone have any restaurant recommendations in New Liskeard? Thanks for your help! Report to follow … hopefully!
  4. We stayed at Bass Lake PP about 5 years ago. At the time the park store rented tin boats with 9.9s. The docks at the park are shallow. There are some pan fish around but they are very small. Out from the park there is a drop off and we found some decent sunfish and perch there. We didn't get much bass fishing in. We caught a couple decent smallmouth out past the dropoff. Good luck!
  5. Great report! Good times, friends & family, Great fish...doesn't get much better than that!!
  6. Great report! Thanks for sharing! That's some quality time well spent!!
  7. Perfect Timing!! I agree, I love to see the MNR out.
  8. Don't forget your Camping Permit! For a lot of the canoe in camping (Haliburton Highlands, Kawartha Highlands) you book your site on line and then print off your permit. There is no check in at the campground. You just head into your site. The camp warden may pay you a visit and ask for your permit. It also helps resolve conflicts if someone else is on your campsite.
  9. Here's my Bannock recipe: 1/2 cup white flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 tablespoons powdered milk 1/2 teaspoon salt Mix all dry ingredients and add water slowly until mixture is slightly sticky And any extras (nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, etc.) Separate into 3 or 4 paddies Fry in an oiled frying pan on moderate heat until both sides are golden brown You can then eat it with your meal or top it with Peanut butter and jam, butter, etc.
  10. My buddy just bought a dutch oven and plans to use it for camping this summer. I've been looking into them and they seam to be a great piece of cookware for camping. Anyone else use this style of pot? Any other cooking pot suggestions?
  11. I've been reading some of Kevin Callan's books on canoe trips in Ontario. He states that the piece of equipment which is forgotten the most is a set of "Oven" mitts for getting the hot cookware aff of the fire / stove. I use a set of heavy duty welders gloves. They work great and are also good for tending the fire at night.
  12. Bannock is a must! Mix in a few chocolate chips or nuts or raisins or smarties or anything else you like!! Anyone ever take Kraft Dinner? It seams like it would be quick and easy plus it would be a hit with the kids. The packaging is a little bulky but you could can fix that! You'd have to use extra water and no milk.
