Hello Kit and Welcome to the forums. We have several French Canadian players here at XI. Keep having a good time in the servers. Children grow up so fast, take lots of photos to keep the memories.

Looks like a great time! Ben there twice. Have no Idea what the resort was called. Both times we went in April. HOT temps. Crow your working that smile!

ADDING A VIDEO FROM A COUPLE YEARS AGO! My times have changed from what I'm saying in the video. Check the picture of the text above.

Hello everyone, I'm pleased to share this peanut brittle recipe with you all. My father made this for years. When he became so ill I had to step up to the plate and take over his duties. Dad made this all year long. He gave everyone he met a small bag. Every doctor, nurse, dentist, banker, and everyone who entered his life. His repeat recipients eyes would light up when he gave them their treat. As you all know his last stay in hospital was from June 2023 until he passed away last September 30/2023. I made so many batches of this brittle I lost count. All the hospital staff treated him so good he loved to pass on his love with a smile and a treat bag of brittle. The most important thing to remember about this recipe is it was designed with/for HIS Microwave! All microwaves are not of the same power. I had to adjust the times for MY microwave and you may very well need too as well. I am posting a picture from Dad's original book and also of the notes I printed out for my Microwave. He/I use SALTED peanuts, it's just better that way. I only use real butter to cook with but if Margarine is your thing have at it. The secret to the Brittle being hard and yet full of bubbles is the Baking Soda. It is the last ingredient added. It must be stirred in quickly, it turns the hot brittle white but don't worry the color will change back to that golden color. It is best to work fast, pour the hot brittle on a piece of parchment paper to let it cool. Use a butter coated silicone spatula to level it off. Take care not to over work or flatten the brittle that would remove the bubbles the Baking Soda created. I If you cooked it correctly when cooled the brittle will crack almost like glass by hitting it with the back of a soup spoon. Don't cool in the fridge as it will sweat. High Humidity will also make it sticky. Enjoy, If you have any questions let me know. plenty videos on YouTube showing the procedure. Weed EDIT! THIS 4 MINUTE COOK TIME IS FOR AN OLDER LESS WATTAGE MICROWAVE THAN MINE! THE FIRST COOK AT 4 MIN WILL BURN IN MY MICROWAVE.

Are you talking about the clear without the milk? I attended a supper club (restaurant) over 45 years ago. My wife's boss took us all there. I had a clear seafood type of soup for the appetizer. OMG it was the best seafood I've ever tasted. The place is gone and I've never tasted anything like it since. Actually I think I could almost duplicate it using the clams c/w the clam stock. Sounds like my next experiment. Lobster, shrimp, Scallops, clams, haddock and salmon. Clear stock no milk. I'll try it in the next few months.

Well, this is my Clam Chowder recipe. I've had so may people tell me they love this I thought I'd share. Now this is not that THICK WALL PAPER PASTE that so many people rave about. It's full of flavor and full of clams. Her ewe go. 3 x 500ml (pints)bottles of Bar clams( some people call them Quahog clams. Really any canned or bottled clams will do. I don't use those baby clams from overseas yuck! Enough potatoes according to your liking and the pot size look at my picture to get an idea. I used about 10 small to medium. 1 carrot in quartered and sliced thin just to add color. 1 large onion 1 liter (quart) of chicken broth 2 cans of canned milk 1/4 cup of all purpose flour Pour the calm juice into a bowel and SAVE, DON'T THROW IT OUT! Dice the clams some parts may be tough and put aside. Peel the potatoes and dice up into about 1/2 inch cubes. Cook slowly add salt, Cook potatoes in a separate pot. DON'T OVER COOK. While potatoes are cooking, melt enough butter to cover the bottom of a large dutch oven (my pot is 12"x 6") Add salt to one whole onion diced in 1/4" pieces and the carrot pieces, sate until onions are translucent. After the onions are ready add 1/4 cup of flour to the butter and onions to make a rue. Stir quickly and cook the flour for 2-3 minutes. Whisk in the clam juice to the rue, keep whisking until the rue is smooth. Add the box of Chicken broth and canned milk. bring to a simmer DO NOT BOIL! THE POTATOES SHOULD BE DONE drain and set aside, add potatoes to the simmering pot, Add the clams and let everything come to a simmer. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow all the flavors to become incorporated. This recipe is not too thick, I like it that way. Some folks use cream, whole milk etc. Use what you like. The clams should be in salted clam juice, if you like you can buy clam juice to add instead of the chicken broth, Some folks use salt pork or bacon instead of the butter. I also made tea biscuits Mmm! As you can tell I like lots of clams in my clam chowder $45 worth!

100% been doing his for years!

Welcome to the clan and we’ll back! We understand how challenging it must be accepting guidance from Raven! Rumour has it he’s not a bad old sod. I have no idea how to pronounce your game name? Maybe Vex Tea? Cheers Weed

We have Red Maple, Dandelion, white dutch clover, white sweet clover, Apple, Colts foot, Black Berries, Blueberries, wild roses, Basswood, Mountain ash. There are so many wild flowers I now have an app to try and help me understand. Most honey bees forage in a 2 mile radius so i only see the few in my yard. Most of my hives have about 40,000 bees times 5 means I have about 200,000 bees! I lose track of them lol. Our fall season we have many varieties of goldenrod and asters. Weed

I always eat Peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I also take a half spoon just because it's so great.

Yes, I’m selling it. This is only my second year bee keeping. $12 Canadian local pickup. My honey is all natural raw and simply filtered. It contains a bit of fine micro pieces pollen. Not pasteurized!

Extracted 175 pounds of honey last week. So far today I bottled 28 bottles each bottle is 500 mil. They hold 1 pound 6.5-7.5 ounces each. That converts to 637-667 grams. The air bubbles will rise up and out over 24 hours.

Yes I remember all those awesome. My father worked fir a company who had vending machines. Cigarette, pinball, Nickelodeon and those gambling machines. We had one of those Diner Nickelodeon machines in the house and hundreds of 45 records. After the song’s dropped from the top spots and dad had to change all the 45’s we got them to play on our machine. We burned and threw out hundreds of those 45’s! They’d be worth a fortune now. We had 45’s from the 60’ until the mid 70’s.
