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!

Just another gorgeous day on the Lahave Ferry, in search of waves. Sadly, none were found that day....
I am very happy with how this photo turned out. Luckily there were nice clouds in the sky and it was sunny. Also, loving the blocks of colour on the exterior.
Nope! Not by Chuck Testa either....just a local construction company. Nice work, boys!
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!
