Alright cool people that are hipper than I am .. like .. 6-12 months ago I was seeing IG/Tiktok reels about making fruit pies (apple specifically but you can do it with others) BUT with the twist of pouring in a cream cheese layer through the top before baking. What is that called? 😂 Having 0 luck

Fton drivers seem to come in two major flavours Aggressive: will tailgate no matter what, definitely going to cut you off in traffic, will lose it if you pass them Confused: no idea what speed limit is, prob in wrong lane, will brake randomly Not sure who is better, at least former is predictable

Vindaloo sauce started and pork shoulder is cut up and marinating for Saturday night. Going to toss it all on the smoker tomorrow instead of the oven, see how it goes I put in 4 serranos from our garden and it probably needs more based on first tastes.

Going to a pot-luck type event at a friends this weekend and the food is usually pretty spicy apparently.. so I'm going to make pork vindaloo and upping my game with some fresh serranos And b/c I'm a glutton for punishment I'm going to try and smoke the whole thing. Social anxiety++

I’ve had “Here Come the Mummies” song “Dirty Minds” stuck in my head on repeat since Saturday. Hope they come back another year, after burner on the last night is a hard one to stay up for

Well gang, it took a decade or so but I finally managed a perfect sleep score in Garmin The secret to my success appears to be being 48 and exhausted from 4 nights out at Harvest

After a week of Harvest fun (ie booze and questionable midnight food choices) it’s nice to get back to healthy eating Tandoori chicken, fattoush, and garlic naan

I am doing up a quick Harvest review. Private message me any highlights, specific volunteers to shout out, suggestions etc

So who are we hoping for next year for Harvest? Realistically speaking … it’s not a huge venue .. so can’t go too crazy. I’d love to see Nathaniel Rateliff back again. Transcanada Highwaymen were fun and a good follow up to having Sloan and BNL this year.

Barenaked Ladies were absolutely amazing. Good mix of new and familiar tunes If I’m nitpicking the crowd tonight (and I am) I’d say my 2 biggest beefs are - people tossing trash 🗑️ on the ground, pick your shit up it’s not hard - dudes wash your hands after using the bathroom..you’re not 5

Having an office in the heart of Harvest territory on Queen St has been a huge plus for many years. Clean bathrooms, snacks and drinks, comfy couches .. definitely makes for a nice break I have hardly been up here all week. Harvest has just been that good this year I don’t want to miss a minute

Haven’t had Mildas in ages and the wait was only about 15 minutes. Nice having somebody else cook it for once 😂🍕

One more night of Harvest for 2026.Last night’s main tent lineup was one of the most enjoyable ones in recent years.Actually this entire Harvest has been one of the best Really looking forward to BNL tonight and then topping it off with JJ Grey & Mofro (& maybe sneak over for Here Come the Mummies)

Pulled a glute/lower back muscle a couple weeks back and still recovering. Been to massage 2x and doing 30-60min of mobility focused work each day. Loosens up and I get full ROM, but the next morning its back in full force, like groundhog day Getting better each day but wow what a pain in the ass

The midnight buffalo chicken poutine likely wasn’t a great call

Impressions from the first 2 nights at Harvest … Music has been amazing! Absolutely loved hearing Sloan live again. 10/10 experience. Next 2 nights should be awesome too Minor nitpicks .. The choice to have a single passholders line (night/ultimate/platinum) for 2 tents was …uh … interesting.

Wooo! Sloan … it’s like I’m back in university (well except for the hip and back pain) #MyHarvest

Superstore prices are insane sometimes… selling a small bottle of Bachan’s for $12.99 when you can buy a bottle 2x+ the size for $3 more is wild

Finally got around to cooking up the shaved ribeye I got from Tony’s and concur with everybody else, it makes a fine cheesesteak. 10/10 would do again

Well turns out I was correct. Pulled a glute on the 3rd set and had to stop. I guess this will be a rehab week

I’m thinking that squat day landing at the end of 4 days of driving is not going to be a great experience 🤷‍♂️

I think we look pretty spry for having driven 2500km over the last 4 days

Youngest all moved into rez with only some minor panic (packed way too much for the tiny dresser in her room so we had to buy & assemble more closet space lol) and a few tears (mostly her mother). She’s going to have so much fun once she settles into a routine

Driving through QC is always an experience … just when you think “he’s not possibly going to try and squeeze in there”, they do! Even the transport trucks were getting in on the action 😳 Spent a lot of time in line with dozens of other cars waiting for trucks to get out of the left lane

Well this was a new one. Checked into the hotel, asked for ID. Handed over my license, guy looks at it, fiddles with the computer then asks “What name did you book it under?” “Mine?” “You have 3 names on your license” “The last one?” Wasn’t aware NB licenses were that confusing …

I’ve been lazy this year and have been mostly using disposable cartridges razors, but there is nothing quite like the shave you get from safety razor. Even managed to get 2 shaves in with a new feather blade w/o massacring my face. Just one tiny nick!

I don’t often venture on the trail toward Oromocto, and now I remember why 😂 Section between Aquarius St and Wassis Rd, with the exception of around the airport, is in really shit shape. Really wish somebody (province?) would fix it up, it’s an embarrassment compared to the rest of the trails

9 hours in, we’re thru the stall. Going to foil boat it for a couple hours and if it still needs more I might fully wrap Birria dip is looking 👨‍🍳😘 after 9 hours. Definitely caught a lot of drippings and darkened a few shades

050

Andrew | Gryff & Lily’s Dad @andrewofyfc.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Was hoping it might shrink a bit and I could fit it in the foil tray with the Birria, but I don’t think it’ll fit Might try a foil boat rather than a full wrap

Summer is winding down and in a couple short weeks we’ll be dropping our youngest off for her first year of university. Small going away party for her and friends tomorrow so naturally I’m up early putting a pork butt on for pulled pork tacos 🌮 Decided to smoke a birria sauce for dipping #bbqsky

Driving in this city has gone to 💩 case # 26837 Just watched an SA Deliveries van on Queen St swerve twice into the right lane, causing the vehicle ahead of me to jam on their brakes. They absolutely did not look before doing this. Then took a hard left up Carleton w/o signalling. Stay classy

Smoking some ribs today and cut the flap off the bottom and smoked it as a snack while the ribs finish (wrapped). One of the privileges of being the cook is you get dibs on the treats
