Detroit Deep Dish Pizza
For the last 30 years or more every Saturday night at the house we’ve had pizza. Some traditions are worth keeping. 🙂 We’ve always made thin crust. We’ve admired deep dish pizza from afar, but just never got around to experimenting with it…until today.

Big Island, Nova Scotia
Saturday road trip! We have a new client for our kiln dried firewood and they live in an area of the province that we have never been to before. It’s the middle of winter in Nova Scotia, what could go wrong? Well nothing does, actually quite the opposite.

SENA TuffTalk-M Headsets
The first rule of any partnership… communication. We have been side by side ever since we met in 1990. Well, 95% of the time. And the last 16 years or so, it’s been around loud machinery like wood splitters, chainsaws, firewood processors, table saws etc. Could we get any closer? Of course we could! And did I do something about that? Of course I did! 🙂

How to build a Cinnamon Star Bread dessert
Today we made a first trial run of making a star bread. Now this bread concept is made with a sweet danish type dough, without the laminations. The layers come from the building technique. Many different types of filling can be used; nutella is popular, cinnamon and sugar… even pizza! Might have to try that one another day.

Saw milling logs to lumber
We had 2-3/4 cords of softwood logs that had been sitting for a couple years. Past due really. Nothing nice about them, from the age to the dirt and limbs hanging off of them from being harvested with a processor.

Pizza Pockets and Pies
Saturday night is pizza night here at home. It’s been that way for +30 years now. Today I had to make pizza dough and decided to do some experimenting with not just a new dough recipe but a new way to shape the pizzas.

Supporting Local – Tony’s Meats
Mornin’ folks. 6ºC at 6am and darkness at the moment. Grocery and fuel run yesterday. First stop the gas station and filled up 2 diesel jugs, 40L $58.28, then 7 various size jugs of mid grade gas $1.54/L. I gotta say, fuel prices are just crazy now.

You should see what I saw
Hey, Jim here. The fall season is a time of the year I look forward to. Cooler weather, and things slow down a little bit allowing us to get at a few other things that have been on the back burner all year long. This past week I have been trying to get into a pile of pine and hemlock.

Walnut Crunch
I don’t recall where I found this recipe but I know one thing for sure, it makes a near identical recipe to the walnut crunch cake donuts that were commercially available here in Canada. No one knows for sure why its no longer made commercially. Luckily, we have a recipe that will allow people to make them at home.
