    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.

    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.

    Plywood End Grain Tray

    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.
