This morning we headed north along highway 340
to the town of Twillingate
Historically, Twillingate used to be a
prominent fishing community and is one of the oldest ports on the island. With the decline of the fishing industry, the
town’s economy relies more on tourism
Long Point Lighthouse; many visitors come
here to see icebergs and whales
We met a few friends of Amanda’s
grandparents by chance who were touring the island from Strathroy, Ontario
Drum roll please…
…Happy 100,000th Job!
Later that afternoon, we took up Vince’s
offer of having us over at his place for a traditional Newfoundlander’s meal
back in Grand Falls-Windsor. We met
Vince’s wife Paula and their daughter Chelsea.
Other guests were invited too; we met Gail, a co-worker of Paula’s. She’s a firecracker and loves to go out
snowmobiling in the winter. We also met
Sarah from Germany who is an intern at the local hospital. She invited us to spend the night at her
apartment which was walking distance from Vince’s house. She’ll finish her internship in a couple of
weeks and there’s a possibility we might meet up with her in Montreal.
Tonight’s menu includes brewis; hard bread
that has been soaked in water overnight
Dried cod
Pan fried cod
Scrunchions; salted pork fat cut into tiny
pieces and fried. It’ll make your heart
stop…literally.
Drawn butter
Ribs
Taters
Put’em all together and voila, traditional
Newfoundland meal is served. Yum!
A good ol’ time was had by all. Thanks Vince.
