Re: Longer closure gathering momentum...
Well, those who have posted are expecting too much too soon. Again this is a virus, not influenza. That there will be a 2nd phase of lots of "victims" is what I hear up here. Yes, on Friday the Atlantic Canadian Bubble will open. & will have lots of checks in place. That it might be of short duration, looking back at the Spanish Flu of the past century, I rather expect. Europe and NZ are more serious than USA. :(375Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anybody do a fall (sept/oct) Newfoundland Labrador
Latest on World connections. New Zealand is keeping borders closed. Europe has a list of countries whose citizens would be accepted there. Canada is on the yes list, USA ignored. Predictions for CA <-> USA border, may stay closed a full year to 15 months. :h791Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fish Chowder

Above quantities will make 4 servings. :B This is pretty close to mine. I do use shrimp, clams or scallops instead of fish. I also add about 1 1/2 Tbsp of real butter. Cook on low and add the shellfish last. If I don’t have whole milk I use evaporated whole milk. I am allergic to scallops. :(300Views0likes0CommentsRe: Fish Chowder

Re: Newfoundland
July, OK Old NL saying: Newfoundland has 2 seasons, winter and July. Actually fall is warmer longer than spring. Frost may not come until late October. My first spring there, I had snow on my 50,000 sq. ft lot on May 23. &, of course, it takes while for the roads maintenance crews to patch up the frost heaves. But July can be TOOOOOOOOOO hot. Granted I retired and crossed The Gulf in 2008. Oh yeah, Gros Morne National Park has NS's Cape Breton Highlands National Park beat (IMHO) 1,000 to 1. :B531Views0likes0Comments
