I recently bought a new cast iron Dutch Oven. It was on sale on Amazon for $35 (nope, I’m not sponsored by Amazon nor am I an Amazon affiliate) but I couldn’t resist buying it. While I was at the cabin, I figured it was a good opportunity to use the Dutch oven in an […]
If someone opens a conversation with a statement that sounds anything like, “I don’t want to sound like a racist, but you know Don Cherry kind of…” I typically cut them off as quickly as I can and say, “If you don’t want to sound like a racist, you really should stop talking at this […]
I’ve been following the Instagram feed from the food truck called Big Red’s Poutine on social media for months now. So you can imagine how delighted I was when I saw the Big Red’s Poutine food truck at the Port Moody Farmers Market last weekend! I have to admit, eating the poutine from Big Red’s […]

Only one day late this week. I was asked what belt I am wearing with my Brave Star Slevage and, it is the 1.5″ belt from A Simple Leather Belt Co.
Fade Friday Day #23 in my Brave Star Selvage denims. The 21.5 ounce denim is really beginning to soften up. However, I put on a pair of my Levi 501s this week and it was a reality check to feel just how light the 501s feel compared to my Brave Stars! This week I took […]
Better late than never … my Fade Friday of my Brave Star selvedge heavyweight dungarees. These jeans just keeping getting more awesome and comfortable.
