mr blizzard

Nothing fancy but she sure is tasty!

 

Made 3 5 layer quesadillias tonight and she was eaten up very quick!

 

Topped with sour cream and some lettuce and my spicy olives

 

Your a busy man right now but whenever u have time could u post the recipe

thx and congrats again

I've got my Bacon in the smoker now, it's been in a wet brine for the past week, pics to follow in a couple hours, doing a hot smoke and will slice it up with my new food slicer

Sounds terrific

Sounds great, send one up here and I will field test it for ya

That is life at its finest

Congrats to u and your wife. U guys have been thru a lot the last 2 weeks

John is a good name just sayin lol

The east coast is friggin beautiful, Nova Scotia is a province as mentioned that u can spend days exploring

PEI will amaze u in so far as how prestine peoples lawns are, U can go down the red dirt sideroads thru bush and in the middle of nowhere is this immaculate lawn, and in many cases we are talking acres

Charlottetown is nice but found it a little to congested for us, we are a little partial to the Summerside area

Just north of Summerside is Cabot Beach provincial park which is very close to Malpeque

Gorgeous beaches to walk along, a drive along hwy 14 on the west side is breathtaking which leads u up to North Cape which has a quaint restaurant, light house and amazing red dirt cliffs

Friends of ours have taken over a motel in Summerside, they did this a few years back as the parents who started it are getting up in age, basic but very fair prices, they have been in PEI since the dinasaurs era lol

If interested pm me

Also Rustico has boat charters where u can go out and try your luck at a tuna

A lot of rentals do not charge mileage as long as u stay on the island

Both u guys are going to enjoy the area

And many cool roadside ice cream stands, best ice cream anywhere

Also check ahead with the chamber of commerce, some of the small communities will often have lobster dinners and the little community halls

Lucas you are doing an amazing job, should be proud of yourself

We have been working on this place for 5 years, inside and out

We are down to the the kitchen now, we tried a couple of small places up here but prices are stupid, so we looked down in Edmonton at IKEA, great prices, a good product and they help u set up a program for designing your kitchen which in turn u can fine tune at home on your own computer, which is nice as they are 17 hours from here lol

Corian sounds interesting, something new to me also

And yes keep us posted on your progress please

That's a stretch of road that needs work something fierce lol

but back in the late 70s and early 80s there was not alot there except bush and nature and family picnics on a Sunday afternoon my Good Lord the last year I cut my moms lawn who had the home for over 50 years and yes my dad grew up across the road and yes his parents lived across from that, thus the 1800s, the last memory my son and I had while cutting her lawn years after my dad died were gunshots, I thought the tractor had back fired, no it was some :asshat: shootin at a neighbour, in the very fields that horses were raised, they never caused issues the horses,,, we used to feed them but the fields that developers destroyed and built mansions on changed the area for ever but does anyone really care anymore

The guy got off of a private jet after his stag weekend and gets behind the wheel. With his money why wouldn't be hire a limo or a cab? That is the part that baffles me.

great point but with so called power and wealth he thought he was untouchable, life in the fast lane, I also lost a good friend in Nashville during high school, by Card Lumber , yes it is in York Region, our family has a history in the area from the 1800s and yet all these years later not much has changed sadly

Yeah. They've hired one of the highest profile defends attorneys in Canada. But even a high priced lawyer won't get him off. I have a feeling his parents are telling him to fall on his sword and take whatever the crown gives him. Very rarely does Greenspan not go to trial

Seriously not to take this thread off topic but why should there be any difference if an impaired person ends up killing innocent people with a vehicle or an impaired person grabs his gun and kills people running through a bush or land that is public property the penalty should be the same , regardless of what the person who was impaired used to take an innocent life, the families that have lost someone thru actions of a person that has been impaired are lasting for a lifetime, at some point the govt and judges have to send a message out that this behaviour is not going to be tolerated, but sadly some people in the decision making process dont want to ruffle to many feathers because they want that paycheck. some dont like to stand out and take a stand imho

There were no loop holes, no police, no lawyers there when the incident happened, just black and white facts , someone chose to drive drunk without caring about anyone else on the road, but guess what , some others were on the road doing things legally, and now they are not here, it is time the judges and politicians come out of puberty and stand up for the rights of the good guys who are becoming victims

I think that will be in next years callender

The appeal process will be lengthy too

Totally agree with you,,,there are some overseas countries as reported by the news some time ago where if u are convicted of impaired driving it is an automatic 6 month jail term, the sad part is the judges need to come down much harder on sentencing in this country where there is a conviction of impaired driving causing death.

The message has to be the same coast to coast to coast that if you do that crime you will definitely do the time, and not just be given a minimal penalty.

The persons life that an impaired driver took away was worth more than a couple of years, if the judges had the nerve to be unanymous and send out a clear message that if you are convicted of that offence this is the time you will be in jail, no ifs ands or buts not all but some people would not make that mistake

No family should ever have to endure a loss or losses like that and for the person that did it they should stay in prison for a long, long, long time

That just plain sucks
Five years ago we had to put our 18 year old cat down. That was bad enough But your challenged even more. I know what I would do but I appreciate your position

As mentioned keep a close eye on the dog. Showing those signs

Yes your dogs are important BUT your kids are more important than any dog imho

especially with a little one on the way

Nice catch, quite the day

So do u think our phones will be alright

Wow what an eye opener, but after hearing that clip it is not surprising anymore that some corrupt people will use any sort of technological disguise to release a stream of information about you, they are nothing but cowardly leeches

Page 100 and still cookin' along..................

Yes a 100 pages young and going strong

The pheasant were moist and delicious. I was very pleased being as it was my fist go at the wee birds.

 

Spiel, a meal fit for any member of this board I have never tried those birds but they sure look tasty especially blanketed in bacon

grilled strip with parclied garlic butter and red wine deglazed mushrooms and onions,crispy thyme scalloped potatoes and foiled parmesan asparagus

Darkwater you have come in like a lion

That looks ALMOST to good to eat, almost, my wife says the presentation looks like a Picasoe Personally I just like the steak, taters, mushrooms, asparagus, parclied butter and onions

Tonight's main was a venison meat loaf with fennel.

 

I had been thinking I should give fennel a try..............but as it is a new-to-me spice I really had no idea of quantity.

 

I can say with authority that a half-teaspoon of fennel is TOO MUCH for a one pound meatloaf.

 

Now my next job is to pressure can the honkin' big pot of split pea soup with ham that is on the stove. My canner (the one that fits on the stove, not the BIG one) takes seven one-litre jars and I think I have about ten litres in the pot. But not a lot of freezer space unless I plug in freezer #4 which I would prefer not to do! And if the electricity goes out, I have my canned stuff!

 

Doug

My wife luuuuvvves split pea soup, just saying

Lakers here tonight! Thanks pop!

 

Bonus, everyone hates lakers but me and my mom

 

Crazy, the kids go bonkers over smoked sturgeon but dont like trout????

Thats because they havent eaten NWT trout caught by my wife, they would be convertided, , I would not eat geasers down south but these ohlala

Your recipe might look a bit like this one of mine, which I note does NOT include celery, even though I always put in a few ribs!

 

DOCTOR DOUG’S CREAM OF CAULIFLOWER SOUP

 

3 tbsp margarine or butter

1-2 large sweet onions, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

900 ml Campbell’s Chicken Broth (tetra pack container)

1-2 heads of cauliflower, chopped (1 very large head, or 2 small to medium heads)

1 cup milk or 5% cream

1 tsp seasoned salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

¼ tsp fresh ground nutmeg

(shredded cheese for garnish)

 

In a large stock pot over medium heat, melt margarine or butter, stir in onions and garlic and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in cauliflower, cover, reduce heat and simmer until everything is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.

 

Puree, either with an immersion blender in the pot, or (after cooling) in batches in a food processor/blender. Return to low heat, stir in the remaining ingredients, and heat to hot but NOT boiling.

 

The original recipe calls for bowls to be served garnished with parsley. I never did try that – I use shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Most people will also wish to add more freshly ground pepper. Enjoy!

 

Doug

 

Thx for taking the time to post, definite recipe to try

This mix of ingredients is now ready for dinner.....YUM!

 

Spiel, if you have the time could you post the recipe, never tried it but sure the family would enjoy trying something different

Looks like a decent idea?

The way it sets the hook; a dink perch would be slingshot right out the hole and into the white bucket. LOL
