Swagger



Have you ever heard people refer to 'swagger' and not know what they mean? These kids have swagger, lots of it.

Spotted this summer at The Big Ex, of course!

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!

I can't keep track of all these storms



I do know this shot was taken Oct. 30th, whether or not this windy day/storm had a name, I cannot say...as a local surf shop owner would say: "...typical Hirtle's beach closeout...."

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!
