First Nineveh Burns!

Nineveh, NS (rt. 325 & rt. 208)

It's a new year, and a new season for brake burns! Here's a glimpse of what's yet to come:




Coffee Party Luncheon!

April 16, 2008
Lunenburg, NS



One of the perks of working in Lunenburg, I get the chance to eat a luncheon offered by local church groups. What a treat, let me see if I can recall all the sammiches:

Lunch was provided by Unit 2 of the United Church Women of Trinity United (Rose Bay). If memory serves me correctly, it consisted of the following sandwiches: Chicken salad, cream cheese & cherry, cream cheese and candied ginger, a little pastry/quiche, coffee cake and fruit cake with cheese slices, butterscotch/marshmallow square and a peanut butter/chocolate chip square...

Let's just say that this is better than most of the lunches I make for myself!

Rhodes Corner Turkey Supper

St. Luke's Hall
Rhodes Corner, NS
April 12, 2008

This supper is like a designated hitter on a baseball roster. You can always count on this one to satisfy all your comfort food needs, wants and desires. When I saw it advertised in the paper, I think my heart fluttered a little, a 'must attend' event.

In our typical fashion, we arrived nice and early. No missing out on the coconut cream pie this time! We lucked out and found 2 seats with our backs to the wall, perfection! Turns out I knew a couple of the people at the table, we skate in Lunenburg at lunch time, small world ^_^

We ordered 'the works' and as usual, were not dissapointed (sorry for the blurry picture):



The carrots were a little tough, but other than that....amazing. 'Potato-y' mashed potatoes, delicious stuffing and turkey (of course). The first batch of pickled beets on the table were truly addictive, as well as the red chow chow garnish(not positive 'what' that was)?

Dessert was yummy too, I opted for the coconut cream pie. I saw others with ~3" high meringue, but I think I preferred mine. Sorry, no pic. They all looked like they were made from scratch, so there's really no 'bad' choice.

If you're ever in Rhodes Corner and see a sign in front of St. Luke's advertising a supper of some sort, do yourself a favour and stop and enjoy the eats!
