Monday Memories – Wakefield covered bridge

The PolyBlog
January 27 2020

I mentioned in a memory about buying a car in June 2005, and the first day that we went to Gatineau Park for a short drive. After that, we were looking for other things in the area to see and do now that we had the Blue PandA to take us farther afield. One weekend in early July, we went up to Wakefield to see the covered bridge. I had driven past before, and I had seen photos from other people, but I had never stopped.

We took a pic or two from the distance for the full effect, but I liked the inside just as much (photos 1-8). It was a good day.

    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.

    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 →

I went all in this month, see, casing every joint, err, bestseller list in town. Get the lay of the land, see. That’s … Continue reading →

First, though, there are some gifts from last month that weren’t posted in time for my roll-up, even though I said no to all of them! I’ve also been wondering about … Continue reading →
