What's on this weekend? ERRYDING!!!!!

Holy smokes, what a weekend!!!  It seems like every community has something on.  Careful planning could allow for a weekend of meals and no dishes. ^_^

I'm hoping to check out the 30th Annual Heritage Blueberry Supper.  I need some sauerkraut salad in my belly!

If you get a chance, take a drive to a beach and stick your toes in the water.  The ocean temps this week have been cool, but pleasant (~18 C), hopefully this warm water trend continues into September, but you never know.....

Get out there and have a great weekend everyone!

Construction & Destruction || Klarka Weinwurm || COUSINS - Broad Cove Hall Show - Aug. 7

Lahave River Sunset

Aug. 7, 2013

The evening started with a glorious sunset as we crossed the Lahave river.  As we neared the Lahave side, the light was shining through the staff cabin, time to snap another shot:

Lahave Ferry

Aug. 7, 2013

True to the organizers' word, the bands started at 8 pm.  None of the usually silly 'show starts at 10 (but really starts at midnight) business' that happens in the big city!  We caught the tail end of the first set, by Port Greville natives: Construction & Destruction.  A raucous affair with plenty of screams straight from the diaphragm. I missed their set at Sappyfest the previous weekend, knowing that they would be in my neck of the woods the following week. The recently released a split with COUSINS, available through noyes records.  I feel silly that I just realized the name of the label is no|yes, not one word that I was failing to pronounce correctly:

Construction & Destruction

Broad Cove Hall

Aug. 7, 2013

Sadly, none of my shots of Klarka's set turned out very well.  She played a quieter set, backed up by none other than Jon McKiel on drums.  There were some funny moments, mostly after how does this one go questions from Jon.  Klarka's voice drifted out of the hall over the wild rose bushes like a cool summer breeze.  Klarka was also joined by her friend, songwriter and fellow South Shore resident, Rebecca Zolkower for a couple of songs.  I couldn't hear her very well, but when her voice did waft through the p.a. system, the harmonies were a nice addition to Klarka's songs.

Last up for the evening were COUSINS, back for another South Shore rampage.  The crowd were warmed up at that point...party from the bevvies, partly from the smoke breaks and the constant moving in the hall to keep them durn skeeters at bay (there were LOTS)!  By the end of their set folks finally started dancing.  Most of their songs were new to me, a departure from some of their earlier work but enjoyable nonetheless.  Aaron's falsetto and reverb drenched guitar riffs were matched by Leigh Dotey's rock steady drum pounding.  This shot captures some of her enthusiasm for that ride cymbal, BRING IT LEIGH!:

COUSINS

Broad Cove Hall

Aug. 7, 2013

Sadly, the ferry schedule and bedtime were calling so we ran off before the very last song of the night. Our  minds and souls were full of good music and friends.  Thanks to Klarka and all organizers for hosting the event and to the visiting bands for making the trek down the shore.  It is much appreciated!

What's on this weekend? Maple breakfast! Chowdah! Blueberries!!!!

What's on this weekend? Turkey! Corned Beef! Kohl Canon! Chowdah!

Sorry early risers, no breakfasts this weekend.  Thankfully, no shortage of suppers!

I get the odd person wandering to my blog after searching for "Kohl Canon".  Since there's the annual Kohl Canon supper happening this weekend, I'll just re-scrape this explanation from an older blog post:

"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.
The awesome Colcannon song!:

"Did you ever eat Colcannon, made from lovely pickled cream?
With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream.
Did you ever make a hole on top to hold the melting flake
Of the creamy, flavoured butter that your mother used to make?"

The chorus:

"Yes you did, so you did, so did he and so did I.
And the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry.
Oh, wasn't it the happy days when troubles we had not,
And our mothers made Colcannon in the little skillet pot."

The First South Variety Supper is always a 'must attend' in my books.  As per my usual caveat, arrive early and expect at least a 30-45 minute wait before you get seated.  Pro tip:  purchase your ticket and then go for a walk or a drive to kill time.  Or, hang out in the pews and join in on the singalong!

Have a great weekend, everyone...wherever you are. ^_^

Maitland Christmas Tea: Hustle and Bustle

This image was captured during the raffle portion of the Maitland Christmas Tea.

I am regretting not buying a raffle ticket, but who am I to rob these folks of those great prizes?! Whatever they were....

What's on this weekend? Halifax Crafters!! Chowdah! Turkey dinner AND supper!

If you need gifts for the holiday season, make your way to the Olympic Center this Saturday and Sunday for Halifax Crafters. No tole painting, no painted rocks. I promise. See their giant poster below for more info.

On the locavore front, breakfasts galore, chowder, turkey dinner and supper.

This last item might not make sense to those who aren't native bluenosers....around here, lunch is often referred to as 'dinner'. Supper is supper.

Enjoy the weekend, looks like it's shaping up to be a beauty.

Maitland Christmas Tea - The Raffle

It's raffle time at the Maitland Christmas Tea.

Somehow I missed out on buying tickets for that. I have no idea what was being raffled off...but hey, it's all for a good cause!

Maitland Christmas Tea - The Tree

A shot of the hall which hosted the Maitland Christmas Tea last Sunday.

The Christmas tree was balsam'y and fragrant, as it should be. A pair of stuffed angels are hanging out on the wall, waiting to be claimed by a lucky raffle ticket owner...

Maitland Christmas Tea - The Sweets

Oh, the sweets. Sweets so sweet, they make your teeth hurt....in a good way. Sweets that make you diabetic in one bite.

The butter cookie was 'melt in your mouth' perfection. A tart square that had rhubarb in it was a pleasant surprise. A slice pumpkin cheesecake was sinfully tasty.

Paired with delicious, strong tea. I can think of no better way to spend a warm November afternoon.
