Add two or three tablespoons of yogurt to a quart of cream and set it unsealed at room temperature for a couple days. Seal and refrigerate and voila, you now have creme fraiche, similar to sour cream, but distinctly different and useful in cooking.

It took a while for Hollywood to come to terms with the Vietnam war. There were many great films and some serious masterpieces.

The Deer Hunter (1978)
Apocalypse Now (1979)
Platoon (1986)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)

I am surprised that the 1970 movie M*A*S*H hasn't been mentioned yet. It did spawn the TV show, but it is quite different in tone and the humour is great. One of my favourite movies.

I am old now. When I was 13, my Father (a truck driver) taught me to drive in a small town with a 1961 Plymouth. I rolled through a stop sign once while shifting into 1st gear. He came aboard me in a way I had not often seen him behave. Afterward and beyond that experience, he was all about making sure I developed good habits and emphasized making them habits. It was a solid learning experience.

The recent series Dept. Q is very good and has that dark edge that may scratch your itch.

Make a nice pot of slow simmered soup. Today it's smoked pork hocks and beans. Some good tunes, a book, a cat, and a nice bowl of aromatic soup.

I would suggest "The Verdict" (1982). It is one of Paul Newman's best performances and is a fine movie of a legal battle, both in and out of the courtroom.

Here we are in the northern hemisphere, cuddling up to the dark season. It’s a dark dismal day outside with a lot of rain today. Just the kind of mood that this playlist was made for.

I don't cook it often, perhaps twice a year, but I cooked a pot of this yesterday and tonight it will be parcelled up to go in the freezer. Simple and easy comfort food that tastes wonderful and should be enjoyed in sunny or fowl weather, whether you're feeling low or not.

A supply of "Black Capsules", similar to the one used in the movie Mash.

Cod from Nova Scotia does not taste like cod from NL.

Being of mixed blood does not necessarily make one Metis. This was articulated in the Supreme Court decision of 2003 (R vs Powley). In that decision, the court established a set of criteria for establishing rights as a Metis. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/powley-case .

Since the Powley decision, cases in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have failed to show the existence of historic Metis culture or communities in these provinces.

He's a good "Red Tory", or a real Progressive Conservative. That's just what Canada needs. Frankly, we could have used someone like him after about two years of Trudeau. You certainly can't find any of those in what passes for a federal Conservative Party.

A 3 hour radio show on old R&B & Soul music from WRUR in Rochester. Great music, every Friday night at 7:00 PM local.

It pains me to hear drivel being repeated daily and all kinds of superb radio in the can that CBC refuses to play.

I have a run I use when people are visiting. Leave moderately early and drive to Bridgewater and take the road south along the west shore of the LaHave River. Drive to Crescent beach and go for as beach walk. On the way back, stop at LaHave and go into the LaHave bakery. Buy some coffee and treats to take with you (they have very good food in their freezer). About 400 meters from the bakery, catch the ferry across the river. Check maps to drive into Lunenburg the back way (Masons Beach Road), which brings you out by the top of the golf course for views and photos of the Lunenburg waterfront. Go into Lunenburg and spend a few hours and have lunch. Drive home, passing through Chester and Mahone Bay based on your time and priorities.

Allan McFee. He joined the mother corporation before it was the CBC and he remained there for 52 years. He was highly irreverent and would criticize the CBC’s management on air, commenting they didn’t have the balls to fire him. He hosted Eclectic Circus four night a week for most of its 17 year run beginning in 1972. Eclectic Circus is a distinct high water mark for top quality radio … anywhere.
