What's on this weekend? Blueberries! Roast Pork! Hodge Podge!

There are several fireman's breakfasts on offer this weekend, to tantalize your taste buds. If you find yourself out Caledonia way, check that roast pork supper! If I have my way, I will be heading to the Forties for that blueberry supper...they had me at hodge podge and cucumbers/cream! It couldn't be more South Shore if it tried!

If you are unaware of hodge podge, now is the time to get familiar with it. Head to your local farm market, pick up new potatoes, beans, carrots, shelled peas and onions and have at 'er! Here's a recipe, deeeelish!
