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!

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.

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.

House came with this pergola. Is it possible to add metal roofing?

https://preview.redd.it/kkegs5bryzch1.png?width=2382&format=png&auto=webp&s=1da41e014e48dd874b8018677c7ba6a82d8eae77

After some research, I learned the brackets have 15/75 degree angles at the bottom and top respectively.

There are 2x4s on joist hangers spaced about 10 inches apart on the sloped top.

I'd love to add some metal roof panels, could the 2x4's act as purlins or would I need to add additional ones? Or would I need plywood instead? but I worry it will add to much weight, though I could perhaps cross brace the vertical 4x4s.

Would welcome any suggesitons, thank you in advance.

Our 9-year-old son made this sign for my wife's vegetable garden (In French)

​

Pit pit is a reference to our birding hobby, and potager refers to a vegetable garden.

I'm so pleased at how these rocks turned out to mark what was planted in the garden (Credit to my wife and son)

My wife and son did this together, was finished with some clear coat. I think it adds cute little pops of color in the garden.

First time impact driver owner, question on magnetization of compact bits

Hi folks,

Homeowner and DIYer here with my first impact driver, looking at mixed bit sets. I was keen on this set, however, am I right in my understanding that most of the bits are too short to work with this magnetic accessory?

If so, do you have any alternative suggestions of a similar kit? or does the magnetic bit holder in the kit help the bit hold screws as well?

I think I am deep down the rabbit hole and am no longer seeing the forest for the trees. I just wanted to be thorough so I don't have purchase regrets when I am mid-project.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Recipe for neon green chutney, the kind you get at samosa places?

I am reconnecting with my Indian roots through food. When I visit my parents in Brampton, Ontario, we often grab samosas that come with this neon green chutney, and it's on other street food style dishes.

I really want to make it! I live in rural Québec now so it is not easy to pop over to the corner samosa place like in Ontario.

The chutney is like neon green colour and the last couple of recipes I made tasted decent but really missed the tanginess (and maybe sweetness?). If anything I got bitter tasts likely from over-adding ingredients and over blending, but the colour never came close.

Restaurant Nic-Pic (à St Jean sur Richelieu)

First time there, it was really good! Perfect fries with the slight sweetness likely from red potatoes, delicious sauce, and squeaky cheese curds.
