Maplewood to Elmwood--the end of the road

Last part of the trip that day, I tried to slow down the video to show the girl running home after church...you can almost see her smiling. Hang tight while the video gets processed by our friends at googletube.

Ahhhh!!!! what did I do? I can't remove the two extra embedded clips...Do'eth!!

*Update: video's up, enjoy!

Blockhouse Fire Department Baked Bean and Ham Supper

Blockhouse Fire Department
Blockhouse, NS
Jan. 26, 2008



I think the picture pretty much speaks for itself. It's a bit hard to recollect, given that this supper happened a month ago.

Each plate had an insane amount of ham, the hame had a pineapple ring garnish AND a bright red marachino cherry, delectable. The beans and scalloped potatoes evened out the plate. Service felt formal, but maybe it was due to the fire fighters dressed in their formal uniforms, who knew there was such a thing?

All in all, a welcome return of the community supper.

Dayspring Fire Department Fireman's Breakfast

Dayspring Fire Department Hall
Dayspring, NS

Well, it's been a bit of a drought for community suppers over the winter, but 2 recent suppers hosted by the Blockhouse Fire Department (reviews soon to follow) and this breakfast have broken the 'fast'.
For anyone who's followed my blog, this breakfast is one of my faves. They just go the extra mile, on several levels.

When you enter the hall, there are usually 'goodies' for the kids at the table where you pay. Plastic fire fighter hats, erasers, pencils, etc.. Decorations are another matter. Every breakfast has a theme, this one was "Rock 'n' Roll" as far as we could tell. Cardboard record singles and musical notes adorned the panelled walls. A couple servers even dressed up as.....hippies? Rockers?



And the food, thumbs up! Home made hash browns, AMAZING bacon, cubes of cheese and muffins on the table, what's not to love? Keep an eye out for this one, and they serve until noon.....
