The autumn season is finally here! This is my favorite time of the year. The changing of the leaves, the crispness in the air, and of course, the food! Considering that Thanksgiving is fast approaching, I think it would be interesting to discuss a couple of essentials included in a […]

After being away from Northwest Ontario for much of September I returned home last week to different conditions both in the woods and on area waters than we’ve seen in quite some time. I always pay attention to the weather around home when I’m gone so I was aware that […]
Well, here we are in the second week of October and we are already over the normal amount of rainfall for this month. But, on a brighter note, the sun is shining. It was last evening as well and then we had a thunderstorm. I had to make the executive […]

My dear friend, Ken Hampton, has gone ahead. That’s how I like to think of it, as though he is breaking trail, lighting the way for those of us who remain behind. I had the great fortune of sharing elementary school with Ken and even better we shared the same […]
One of the oddest couples I have ever met was after one of my live cooking performances at a local fair. A woman in the distant crowd was watching the tail-end of my show and approached me afterwards. “I can see by watching you that you love to cook,” she […]
