The Englishman's Boy - set in Regina

And now for something completely different... this is a shot from the set of the Canadian production of The Englishman's Boy, based on the novel of the same name, by the Canadian author Guy Vanderhaeghe.



This location is near the Qu'Appelle Valley in Southern Saskatchewan just north of Regina. The buildings are part of Fort Benton which was in Montana. Based on a true story, the film details the events of the Cypress Hills Massacre. If you live in Canada, you will be able to see this miniseries when it airs on CBC sometime in 2007.

Real Portugese Sausage made on Maui

I've been meaning to blog this for a long time. Are you a fan of Portugese Sausage? I am, and especially of homemade sausage.


These pics are taken at a friend's house in Makawao area, on a day when they were making a batch of homemade sausage from scratch. Not only do they grind up the pork meat, season it and stuff it into natural casings, they also smoke them on site for 4-6 hours in a homemade smoker.


I happened upon the scene, so helped with the tying and stringing up on guava wood poles. Of course I was rewarded with a bag of excellent sausages the next time I dropped in. Talk about "broke da mout"!

You too could own property in Makawao and make your own homemade sausage. Just call me and we can discuss your options.
