The woodstove. Nan baked, cooked, dried socks/hats/mitts, etc. For myself, my sister and cousin it was also a means of delivering letters to Santa. Toss em in the fire and Santa magically got them intact. Newfoundland thing? Bay thing? Crazy family thing? Lol
My god this is just so good. Have had it quite a while now but don't often listen. Then when I do I keep thinking I'm an idiot for not listening to it more. Definitely staying on the frequent shelf for now

Love it. If that's not the most Newfoundland sign ever. Bet
@pitbull
has never had a sign that said "all hands going to Pitbull closing 7" before and it takes a fair bit to close a store in the bay.

Today is a good day. Sons Covid test came back negative. Followed the rules but still had been exposed. Wear a mask, keep contacts low, wash your hands and follow the rules. Better to not need the test than the stress of waiting for the results.
An early morning mystery. Details are scanty. A local couple happened upon an accident during their morning walk. Barbie appears to be missing. If you witnessed this unfortunate scenario please call Ken.
Pretty plain picture taken from a stroll on the trails in CBS this morning. What you can't tell from the pic is that someone had the "stove in" and the smell of wood smoke in the air was therapeutic.
These fellas were wrapped in newspaper and moved to Ontario in 1999. Never pulled from the bin and moved back to NL a few years later. Remained in newspaper until today. It's like finding buried treasure
Newfoundlanders must have brains the size of Budgie Birds. Raining for a week. Me the last week:"Damn weather not fit for nothing". Today on Water Street: giving out Nods and Winks and saying "Some summer wah..right wicked".
Coffee and a great view. House is quiet. Been up a few hours and the house has slowly been getting brighter with just the light from the window. Perfect Sunday morning.
Youngest son's girlfriend dropped off a box of treats she made. She runs her own little bakeshop from home between semesters and when not super busy. A+++
271 Brookfield Rd. The Other Guys Food Truck. Taco Trio - beef, pork and cod. Cod caught yesterday. The best tacos I've had in the city to date. The perfect blend of flavors. Don't take my word for it. Do it!!!
Sons girlfriend made one of those fancy cutting boards for us to have with some friends tonight. I'm not going to lie..I am having a hard time not digging into this thing.
Nothing screams romance like taking your best girl, grabbing a diet pipsay and sharing a slice while listening to Saturday in Big Tom's shed by the ocean.

Covid and the flu are not the same. Similar symptoms but different virus. Let's dumb it down. Man Boobs and Boobs are not the same. Put on the right shirt and they might look similar but under the hood they are completely different ๐คฃ
Been "dieting" and (pat on back) 21 lbs down. But with the world upside down taking a weekend off. Extra cream in the coffee, extra bacon on the plate, can of beans for myself and real butter on homemade bread toast. Up yours world
Of course I'm posting this one. It's a collaboration between Banished Brewing and Riffs. If you're from Newfoundland there is a 99.99% chance you've shopped at Riffs Department Stores. Best New Balance Gym/Track pants ever owned came from Riffs
Had to make a trip to my parents place tonight. Noticed they have been digging things out. Pretty sure I had the complete set as a kid and read every book multiple times. Always had a great imagination and the movies in my head while reading would rival anything.
Surprise from the sons this morning so had to work on breaking them in. Note the paper towel card. If I've taught them nothing they understand that cards are a waste when it comes to me lol
Ok. So. My wife prepared this Ramen dish after a cooking class with The Alder Cottage as part of
@whelanwellness
Gotta say this is a 20 out of 10. Fantastic.
Lessons after week of my wife not feeling well 1. No matter how much you think you do around the house she does more 2. Bummer watching Jay's and Leafs by yourself 3. Sons also realize that Mom is really the one that makes family hum along. We knew but this enforced it big time
BNL were amazing. Ed's story took the cake. Went to Leo's & had fish&chips for dinner. Figured it would be incognito & quiet. Lady working there 44 years brought it out and said "Gonna grease ya right up so ya can sing better tonight me ducky". They are getting married Monday ๐
Started at 6am this morning. Four hours in and looking good so far. Biggest slab of brisket attempted to date. That's what happens when you send your carnivore son to pick up the meat. Going for a 12 - 14 hr low and slow cook/smoke time.
Newlander had their grand opening this week. Picked up some prime rib. Everything on the plate and in the glass is local. Not saying anyone should do local but hey its all good stuff
Did someone say finger food Fridays. Mussels in heavy cream with IPA and garlic. Sauce left to dip bread. Bacon wrapped scallop. Jalapeรฑo Popper cream cheese dip. Wings. Pigs in blanket. Pizza and garlic finger fingers. Boo yaaa
How could you not be in love or already love

Fathers Day Stroll on the Goat Shore Path. About 10km round trip. Fantastic. Woods/Forest on one side and ocean the other.
Met 10 people and 2 dogs - 10 Goodmorning/Hello/Nods'nWinks/Smiles and tail wags
Just shared these with a friend bragging that he should visit the area Just so he could take these pics himself. Figured worth sharing again

Cold packed mussels in vinegar. Might look like something from a horror movie but by God there is nothing better for a Sunday night snack. None of those itty bitty farmed ones. Just the good stuff wild from the Atlantic
