I did not write on the Saturday – it is a day when the majority of our group arrives and we have a lot of work, fun and a party to celebrate the annual reunion. I was working with my Father early in the morning when we realized we needed supplies and I decided to [...]

Day 1 – Heading to Camp
Posted in Moose, tagged wellpreservedgoesmoosehunting on October 30, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Written 1 week ago today – the day I left for the moose hunt. 12:30PM. Lunch time. I’m at work. I got up at 5:00am this morning. A quick walk of the dog, some last minute packing and I was off to work. Today is a day when a surprising amount gets accomplished – I [...]
Keeping Beer Cold in the Woods (and an introduction to the next 10 posts)
Posted in Beer and Craft Beer on October 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Before we get to the larger portion of this post, I’m sure some of you are simply here to learn how to cool beer (without freezing it) while in the woods. This lesson works year round and will work in any body of water: Full cans of beer float (in this case we used barrels [...]

Back to preserving – options for local are diminishing so we’ll do the odd batch of something special – there will be 3 or 4 things made in the next month or so which will be part of our late December and early January celebrations with family and friends. Todays batch is lemon confit – [...]

I don’t know if you are tiring of hearing of the woods and the traditions we hold dear in the north – let’s take a break and head to the kitchen for some of the easiest preserving (and most practical) known to man, woman or child. Do you have a selection of herbs that you [...]
Shotglasses

The cabin is also refuge to shot glasses from all around the world. We have a traditional camp song which we chant on special occasions (toasts, birthdays, weddings, hunts or the fact that it’s Tuesday are all special occasions for us). We have a very strict policy that hunting and drinking are never to be [...]
I love plates and dishes at cottages
Posted in !!!Uncategorized on October 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Is there anything better than a hodgepodge of plates in a cottage? I love the apparent random collections of plates that fill a cabin. What appears to be a series of random glassware is often anything but. We have plates that are collected from years of potlucks, drop-ins, forgotten leave behinds and good will donations [...]

Today marks the last day of mouse hunting in our region of Southern Ontario. Posts will return to normal shortly. J We brought our puppy home at the start of September – a 10 pound Hungarian Viszla. His name is Shaffer and he’s been a lot of fun (and a lot of work!). There are [...]

A quick post for a rainy friday! It’s officially a week before Hallowe’en eve! What are you wearing? Where are you going? Does sending your kids out into the neighbourhood for candy freak you out (hey, most of us survived it, i know!). If it does, or if you’re just looking for something DIFFERENT to [...]

Posted in !!!Uncategorized on October 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
This post was written more than a week before it appears on the site. It is posting on a Friday and by the time it is read our hunting fortunes will largely be written for the year 2009. If we are hunting today, it’s getting desperate and the mood is diminishing. Some of the men [...]
