What a beauty of a day along the South Shore! We had to get out and enjoy it. It helped that we had friends visiting from New Brunswick that used to live here 27 years ago!
Our friends had a great day seeing some familiar spots and we had fun being tour guides.
The middle of June and that means the early berries are ready!
The first taste of strawberry season is here.
So I had to whip up a batch of biscuits.
For a taste of Strawberry Shortcake! Delicious!!
And good news…the Sun is back!!! After what seems forever of cool, windy, cloudy, rainy days, the Sun is back and it’s the weekend! Have a good one 😀
Food truck that is! The Best Little Oarhouse in Nova Scotia.
This is opening week for this new place and we’ve been wanting to check it out!
On a nice evening it’s just a nice little walk to get there, but it’s been so cool and windy that James & I decided that we were just gonna drive down and bring our food home.
There was little bit of a wait, after all it’s opening week. BUT, it was so worth it. The food is delicious! James had the Dude Burger and of course I had to try the fish & chips. Delicious home cut fries and a light batter…so good!
James enjoying his Rugged Dude Burger lol
They have a good selection
Check it out if you get chance! We will definitely be trying out more items on the menu this summer!
BRRR!!!! I have been freezing for days! This is certainly not June weather and with the “official day” of summer around the corner temperatures have been at least 10 degrees below normal. June evenings are usually wonderful for being outside BUT all I feel like doing is curling up with a blanket.
David and I did go to the beach yesterday afternoon, BUT it is far from beach weather. Gee, I remember “skipping “school and heading to the beach to swim and tan “back in the day” …. Where is our summer weather? Please warm up soon!!!
The beach was beautiful as usual…it ALWAYS is…BUT it’s not SUMMER TIME beach weather!
I totally forgot I had this little package in my cupboard when I was looking for something to make for dinner last night.
YUM!!!! Black Fungus! James’ favorite…NOT! But I love it and since he was away for dinner…I knew it would be the perfect addition to my simple stir fry, especially since I didn’t have regular mushrooms.
You just add water…
And it grows
and grows…
And is ready to use in your favourite dish. I love it in stir fry. I really like the texture.
Delicious! Simple and easy.
A nice surprise knocked on my door this morning.
A friend that knows I love to bake and knows I love rhubarb dropped off some just freshly picked!
Guess what I did this afternoon?
Thanks so much, David especially enjoyed his after work snack and coffee today 😀
A beautiful Saturday and what are we doing? My sweet husband is helping our son build a deck around the pool we put up last Sunday. He loves that we are home and can help the kids with projects and this year we don’t have a lot of projects of our own. We have some, but they can wait.
And me…I am just enjoying this nice day in our backyard. I could have gone to help with the deck, BUT some times it’s nice to have a Saturday just to do a couple chores and then relax in the nice space that we are creating in our backyard. After all, what is the purpose if you don’t enjoy it, right? Besides, I still have this nasty cold. 😦
The last two Summer seasons I did a blog post about the best fish & chips places in Nova Scotia ( at least the local ones that we went to).This summer I thought I would switch it up to include all kinds of local food…East Coast food!
From fish cakes to food trucks to fish & chips to maybe even baked bean and salad suppers haha, we’ll see about that one. So starting now until the end of Summer when we are out and about and have chance to stop at interesting places, I’ll be sure to order something fun, East Coast style, and at the end of August, I’ll show you some of my favourites!
Here’s one to start:
Fishcakes & Salad at the Kiwi Cafe In Chester…delicious! ( and no matter what you order it come with a piece of kiwi)
Why not have your own fun? Order something different you haven’t tried…something very East Coast Style!
Enjoy the weekend!
Enjoying one of my favourite fruits today
AND thinking about my friends enjoying a long weekend in celebration of Dragonboat Festival!
I’m so happy we can get these simple pleasures in our grocery stores here in Nova Scotia! Unfortunately no zongzi 😥
