Sunset at Hell's

Low on Vitamin U? Then you need....

Sauerkraut! Sauerkraut supper, to be exact...

This cold that is going around is a killer and my partner in crime was looking like she could use a home cooked meal. We settled upon the Lunenburg United Church's Sauerkraut Supper, a first for us to try out.

It was a chilly Sunday as we scoured Lunenburg for the United Church. As luck would have it, we found the Anglican, Lutheran and Presbyterian churches before we eventually found our destination.

The hall was expansive, about 2/3 of the tables were filled which made it easy to find a place to sit and rest. The male servers were all dressed formally, most wearing white shirts and ties. Before too long, a gentleman approached us and only asked:

"One scoop of potatoes, or two?"

I guess it's assumed you want everything else? At any rate, we quickly got our plates. It was a feast for the eyes and a welcome meal for those afflicted by a cold:



The corned beef was cooked perfectly, not salty at all. The mashed pototoes and sauerkraut were also delicious! The brown bread was just how I like it, a little sweet...My only wish was some mustard on the table, or mustard pickles. After we had finished our meal, we noticed a big 'ole bottle of yellow mustard on a nearby table. Oh well, we should've asked....

Dessert consisted of a familiar offering of pies. Luckily for me, I tried the coconut cream pie this time:



Several cups of tea later, and we were out of there. Lisa's cold was starting to win the next round...We left satisfied, bellies full of home cooked love, and all before 6 pm!(>_<)

Yurt fetishist/firewood stacker has lots of time on hands...

I've been meaning to add firewood piles to my blog's themes. I'm always amazed at the lengths some will go to when piling their firewood.

These photos make a good start to the firewood theme. Anyone who's been to the Lahave Bakery has probably spotted these tidy piles, I don't think I'd have the patience to stack wood like this myself...

More Chunks and Burns

Hmm, maybe that post title is a little misleading...oh well, should make for some interesting search results?







Oh, it get's better, wait for the closeups of the 'chunks'...

Wow.....way to destroy the road with your tiyahs, boys!

Found this patch recently, had to stop and document it:



After taking different angles, I noticed some 'chunks', here's a teaser...stay tuned for more highway/brake burnin' carnage!
