What's on this weekend? Roast Beef! Fried Bologna! Variety!

Another sure sign of spring, more church and fire department food fundraisers.  I'm hoping to hit the Mahone Bay Roast Beef Supper, if only to snag a slice of the ever elusive checkerboard cake!

If fried bologna is your thing, Chester Basin Legion is the place to be this weekend.

Enjoy the sun, everyone!

Dash to dine!

A diner rushes to catch the last sitting of the St. James Anglican Roast Beef Supper.

St. James Anglican Roast Beef Supper - main course

The wait was worth it. All the 'greatest hits' were in attendance: boiled carrots and peas, mashed potatoes and turnip and of course, roast beef with gravy. Pickled beets and coleslaw were on offer as well.

Best thing of all? No dishes!

Mile high meringue

Superb coconut cream pies, just look at that meringue!

I tried and I tried, but I couldn't stop the highlights from 'blowing out' after adjusting the white balance. Practice makes perfect, clearly I need more practice.

The table of earthly delights

Mountains of meringue and other delicious things were on offer at the recent roast beef supper at St. James Anglican in Mahone Bay.

I had to ask about one item on the list of desserts: the 'Impossible Pie'

A kind lady explained to me that it is called Impossible Pie because it does not have a pastry, but creates its own 'crust' while baking.

Somehow I got distracted and ordered pumpkin pie instead, FOR SHAME!

A busy evening at the Anglican church hall....

Another shot from a roast beef supper several weeks ago.

The father served as maître d’ for the evening....as you paid and found a place to wait (hopefully in a chair along the wall), he would notice new folks in the queue and take your name and note how many were in your group.

He was in good cheer as he scurried around the hall, organizing who sits where. Every so often, you would hear him ask the waiting diners: "KNICKLE....4?" A party of four would rise to their feet and quickly be ushered to their seats.

We arrived just as the 'first sitting' finished dining, each sitting usually takes about 30 minutes to finish their meal. What looked like a long wait ahead of us, was only about 10 minutes as wave upon wave of folks took their last sip of tea and made their way out of the hall.

More pics to follow, stay tuned!

For once, I didn't need to do any adjustments on this shot. That never happens.

More Frolicking

Love the expressions on this kid's face!

Kids Just Wanna Play

We participated in the S.H.A.I.D. dog walk fundraiser on Saturday, I anticipated taking lots of dog pictures, but these kids playing ended up being better subjects:


Weeee!!! Can't catch me!
