What's on this weekend? L'burg Legion Breakfast! Kohl Canon Supper! Harvest Tea!
From teh intarwebz, an explanation of the Kohl Canon supper:
"Kohl Cannon can be made in various ways, depending on whether you are Irish, German, or Scottish. No matter how it is made, the eating of Kohl Cannon was a common custom on Halloween. In it would be buried, well wrapped in waxed paper or foil for today's world, 4 favors. A penny (for wealth), a button (for poverty), a ring (for marriage, and a matchstick (for spinsterhood). Much excitement was aroused, especially among the young lassies who were hopeful that the Kohl Cannon would foretell their future happiness! This recipe is the Scot's Way!"
Also, this interesting Wikipedia entry for Colcannon.
Happy Hallowe'en everyone!

Bluenose Academy construction update
The building is coming along, the exterior looks to be nearing completion. I like the red siding they have chosen on the 'west wing'.
I don't know what the chimney stacks and the 'westeel' hopper is for. I'm assuming the school will be heated with corn cobs or some other farm waste?
