Whoever suggested Le Bidon - thank you! [Salaberry-de-Valleyfield]
Generous on all fronts. Crisp fries, excellent curds, and rich flavourful sauce that wasn't too salty.
Honestly I enjoyed this so much on my way back from a work event in Ontario. Thanks to the person who suggested it in a past thread on Casse Croute 125.

Installed ours today!
My wife has wanted one for years, and we finally have some space so she made one with her mom using reclaimed wood.
They unfortunately did not waterproof it and 1 month ago we put it out, and it got damaged after the first rain.
I helped out by using silicone, weatherstripping, and adding a corrugated roof. We tested it with a hose and it held up.
The name is a play on rock-paper-scissors in French as it also relates to our street.
The neighborhood has some young families and overall on the FB group it was well-received. I'm happy for my wife. More books and puzzles to come - we may also add some garden seeds in the future.
Thanks folks! Glad to be part of the community.

A moment to appreciate fries
Often underappreciated with the cheese curds getting all the limelight lol. Good fries will always be a standalone star in my books.

First ever San Marzanos!
My wife and 9 year old planted them so we could make sauce for neopolitan pizzas 🤩 I'm used to buying them in expensive cans, so it's really cool to have grown some in Québec.

Made it to Casse Croute 125 - Was worth the line. Good vibes with a lot of families and a nice seating area away from the road. Fries on their own were excellent too.

Anyone else corn on their pizza? Wife and son thought it was weird.
It's corn season here and it's so sweet and juicy. I do enjoy pineapple, which I acknowledge is controversial, but I thought why not corn!

Testing out my new and humble 1/8" thick pizza steel.
I bought the Vermont Castings 1/8" pizza steel. I knew it was thin but had good reviews. Figured it was worth a shot. Honestly I am really pleased given the price point and convenience. Made two pizzas with like 3-5 mins between to recharge the steel. I also love that it's not too heavy and easy to move.
I used to have a 1/2" one from Dare Built years ago but I sold it because it was so heavy and cumbersome to use/move. My wife chipped the countertop trying to move it so she could bake something else. Plus at that time I was such a newbie I burned every pizza I attempted. Since then I have made hundreds of pizzas including in my Ooni Koda 16 so I felt it was a good time to reinvest in a steel. Very glad I did!

A quick lunch pizza to share with my wife (and to use some tomatoes and onions she grew in the garden)
No tomato sauce, rather garlic infused olive oil.

Found this gem near the cashier checkout area. Impulse purchase and I can't wait to try some recipes out. Happy to share some recipes here if anyone would like.

Will the Onlyfire stainless steel grate be good enough to use with the Vortex? If not, open to suggestions. I live in Canada, and feel we don't have as many choices compared to our neighbors down south.

Small pork shoulder using Malcom Reed's method on the kettle. Rub was Meat Church hot honey, smoked with applewood from my old apple tree, and spritzed with 50/50 apple juice and ACV.
First time! Method worked easy, love HowToBBQRight videos. Temp held steady around 275F.
Threw on some wings later for the World Cup final, finished under the broiler.

I stopped overcomplicating things due to burnout and mental health, and nothing bad happened. I actually enjoy the hobby more.
Did this happen to anyone else? When I first got my Freshroast I made my own custom template, and tried to track as much data over time.
Then I stopped roasting because I hit burn out and had extra family and work commitments, and the idea of roasting and tracking data just turned me off.
Recently I just pulled out the Freshroast and finished the last of my green beans. I didn't track just went by a rough feel from previous experience. Roasted 5 different varieties of green beans, that I have been enjoying over the past couple of weeks.
Can't say I've had a bad cup, and can't say I am that fussed. Just want a good cup of coffee. I even stopped doing pourover due to the extent of burnout, just using my moccamaster.
All that to say, I probably overcomplicated things, thinking I had to maintain that in order to enjoy the hobby. Clearly not.
Not sure why I am sharing this, maybe some of you have had a similar experience? I am not looking to be a pro barista nor coffee roaster, just doing it for fun and nerding out a bit (when my mental health and energy permits).
Thanks for reading, I have learned a lot from this community.
