Just found out the tiny town I was born and raised in won Gamestown 2010. It's been a very very long time since I've lived there but we go back for family reunions (and burials) www.gamestown2010.ca

Nope. It's the deep frying that does it. Stay away from the deep fried food and eat all the mars bars you want (I think 8O):lol:;-) The kids are here almost everyday now! There are always treats in the house. YES I'm guilty! Grampa is more guilty! He buys treats for the kids and me. (and himself)

You captured a great picture but it doesn't sell with all the "greenery". The dirt is still on it and it doesn't look like anything I would ever want to buy. I don't even like to touch them. Really good Baron of Beef on this week for a great price. We had one for dinner tonight. Very tender...

Thank you again. Lots of people are interested. It would be wise for all stores to post such a list so people can gauge the heat. I get told so many recipes in a day. I have an excellent memory but - for the number of people I am in contact with in a day who want to tell me how they prepare...

Thank you. It's a great list but where is the Anaheim and the Poblano (sp?)? People ask me all the time about which one is the hottest. and the best I can do is tell them what I have been told. If my printer was connected (hasn't been since we moved in at the end of October!) I would print this...

Talloola, I have family that have lived here for quite a few years and probably know where you can get that kind of beef. I have family all the way from here to Blackcreek so one of them must know the answer. As a family, we too have been talking about buying a side of beef so we were planning...

I realize this is an old post but I thought I would respond anyway. I was speaking with some people about peppers. We sell a lot of serrano peppers - much more than Jalapeno's. I haven't bought them yet myself but I intend to. People tell me that the serrano peppers are a little sweeter and...

This is a really long article that I just chose some paragraphs from. I felt it was enough for a chat on the topic. Why do we allow government (I assume it's gov't) to permit farmers to add antibiotics to the daily food of the very animals we eat at mealtime. This has to be more destructive than...

I thought I would never forget how to do this but - I have for the moment at least and since it's driving me around the bend - I'm asking for immediate assistance. I believe it was Dexter who explained to me, how you "turn off" the touch pad on a lap top computer. Today my son used mine and he...

With all the news there has been over the past few years regarding fat kids or fat people, do you think there is much change? Each cashier seemed to have their own story to tell regarding people who went through their till. At this time of the year we all see and most of us buy, a bunch of junk...

Play the game. It seems to be true. Click on the link below. They (BC Hydro) do it every year, a minimum of five cents per card opened, no scam. Send it to all your friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbours... you get the idea :-) http://wwe5.bchydro.com/2009holiday/

If you don't give to a food bank I hope you will really consider it this year if you can. I realize that not everyone can and that's okay. I hope that people will give some of the extra little things that are not thought of often. This has come up in another thread but I thought a thread...

If you celebrate Christmas, what would you like to receive for a gift? What do you hope you don't get? We've just moved into a new home and with that comes many extra costs. I'd be very willing to kind of let the gift thing slide this year but my husband doesn't feel the same. So - since he...

YouTube - Mounties en masse I found this video very impressive. I sent it to a number of people who all wrote back saying how impressive they also found it. I was hesitant to add it to these forums but will give it a try hoping that it gets the good reviews it should. It's not just about the...

Blame the high cost of travelling to the Gulf Islands on the Islands Trust, not B.C. Ferries, a corporation official says. Islands Trust land-use policies are creating a scarcity of developable land, driving real estate prices up, pushing out young people and replacing them with retirees who...

We have been having a "cold spell" here on VanIsle for about 10 days now with no let up in site. Our temperatures won't sound cold to anyone not from here but when you are surrounded by ocean, even -5 is very cold. How many times have you heard (while growing up) welllll in the winter of 55 or...

My grandkids Christmas Concert was held tonight at their school. Whoever (whom?) was in charge had to destroy Christmas once again. The theme of the concert? Green Christmas! No "Jingle Bells" for example. Just songs changed around to suit "green". At a time when many many loggers are out of...

Much of the city of Nanaimo was already on Google Earth in the sense of things like marking where gas lines were etc. Something I knew but had never taken the time to look at as I really don't have any reason to care about such things. Apparently now, the Google Street View has done Nanaimo...

My recipe is much the same as yours (Manhattan Clam Chowder) but - I saute' the onions and celery for flavour. I don't use bacon. I don't know what dulse is unless you mean bay leaves and I don't use those in Clam Chowder. I also use the oregano but instead of basil I use thyme and a tiny pinch...

Boston or Manhatten Clam Chowder?
