JotD: Learning Norwegian astronomy (PWH00079)

The PolyBlog
March 27 2020

This is pretty cool for astronomers…

The Norwegian word for “cloudy skies” is “skyet”. And despite the spelling, it is pronounced almost the same way we say it in English. If you click on the link below to see it in Google translate, you can then click the little speaker icon on below the Norwegian to hear it:

JotD: Living in Quebec (PWH00078)

The PolyBlog
March 25 2020

Surveys have shown that many people move to Montreal, not for the culture, but for their health.

They’re paranoid, and it is the only place where their fears are truly justified.

JotD: Living in Manitoba (PWH00077)

The PolyBlog
March 23 2020

A man walks into a Winnipeg bar and asks, “Wanna hear a joke about people from Churchill?”

The bartender says, “Listen, pal, I’m from Churchill, and I won’t appreciate it. The man sitting next to you is 265 pounds, and he’s from Churchill too. And the bouncer, that huge guy there, is also from Churchill. So, do you still want to tell that joke?”

“No,” says the guy. “Not if I have to explain it three times.”

JotD: Living in Alberta (PWH00076)

What differentiates a zoo in Alberta from other zoos?

The zoos in Alberta have a description of the animal on the front of the animal enclosure, along with a recipe and suggested beer pairing.

    Sweet Chicken Curry Slow-Cooked with Mango ChutneyJune 16, 2026
    Sweet Chicken Curry: This was an adaptation from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and was a pretty easy recipe (particularly using the slow cooker, but also just the limited number of items to chop / dice / slice). And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn't a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here.

    Chocolate Chip Caramel Rolls baked in Brown Sugar and CinnamonJune 15, 2026
    Chocolate Chip Caramel Rolls: I snagged the base for this recipe from a "Taste of Home Fall Baking - Fresh from the Oven" cookbook. My first real attempt at a baking recipe, part of a new goal for myself.

    Maple Pork Tenderloin with Maple Syrup and Dijon MustardJune 14, 2026
    Maple Pork: Andrea snagged this recipe from her Mom, and it might be a Looney-Spoons recipe originally. It's pork tenderloin with maple syrup. Sure, there's other stuff in it, but those are the two flavours that pop. Totally awesome.

    Green Curry Chicken with Eggplant and LemongrassJune 12, 2026
    Green Curry Chicken - This is one of my favourite dishes, compliments of a cooking course through the local public school board. I have rated it "medium-to-hard" for the level of difficulty but that is a bit misleading. The individual steps are not particularly difficult, nor is the sequencing, but there are a significant number of detailed steps (including sous-chef preparations) and it takes a long time to prep and cook; it is definitely not a "quick weeknight meal". I have also rated it "mild" for spice, and I do not have a particularly high threshold.

    It’s not you, it’s me: my first book-club breakupJune 12, 2026
    I have over 40 general book clubs that I follow, with several having sublists / groups. My intent when I started was to see what was out there and get out of my reading comfort zone, at least insofar as I would see what was on offer. I combed through 2025, and the first six … Continue reading →
