What's It All About, eh?

Cape Breton evokes deep memories and strong emotions for me as well as a deep appreciation for the beauty of my adopted island. My hopes are that you too might find the photos evocative - maybe a view you've not enjoyed before, or an 'Oh I've been there', or if from away that you may be encouraged to visit this fair isle so that you might come to love and breathe Cape Breton as I do. One word about place names that I use - some are completely local usage while others are from maps of Cape Breton that I've purchased over the years. I frequently post travel and other photos that are of interest to me - and hopefully you.

On the right hand side bar find my take on Single Malt whiskey - from how to best enjoy this noble drink to reviews (in a most non-professional manner) of ones that I have tried and liked - or not. Also musings, mine and others, on life in general.

Photographs are roughly 98%+ my own and copy-righted. For the occasional photo that is borrowed, credit is given where possible - recently I have started posting unusual net photographs that seem unique. Feel free to borrow any of my photos for non-commercial use, otherwise contact me. Starting late in 2013 I have tried to be consistent in identifying my photographs using ©smck on all out of camera photos I personally captured - (I often do minor computer changes such as 'crop' or 'shadow' etc but usually nothing major), and using
©norvellhimself on all photos that I have played around with in case it might not be obvious. Lately I have dropped the ©smck and have watermarked them with the blog name.

Supper - the old time designation for an evening meal





I'm not much of a cook - growing up in the '30s and '40s the only time I ever saw my dad cook, it was canned baked beans in the frying pan or sliced green tomatoes in the frying pan, while mothers in those days seldom included their sons in learning to cook - so the only actual cooking I ever attempted was around age 13 or so in the scouts where we learned a kind of shish kebob of meat and vegetables on a stick over an open fire.  And now years older and a tad more accomplished, I can do one dish meals that are reasonably decent.  Tonight's meal - somewhat a variation on the shish kebob - of roasted assorted vegetables in the oven, is the dish I am serving up tonight. 

I start with a cookie sheet covered with non-stick aluminum foil, then proceed on to various vegetables, cleaned, cut up into small pieces, placed into a large mixing bowl, drizzled with olive oil and various condiments.
