Lord thundering fuck that is just crazy! Like watching his fingers move like that to get those strumming patterns and so fucking effortless.
Crazy.
Thanks for introducing me to this!

No, actually. I am now going to check him out!
Until today I wasn't aware that banjoleles existed

I couldn't handle that kind of responsibility.

My banjolele. It has a clear, acrylic body, 4 nylon strings and a ukelele neck. Kind of sounds like a banjo but plays like a ukulele

It's a Banjolele, the unholy union of a banjo and a ukelele.
I can neither play a banjo or a ukulele but yet I now own a banjolele!
I'm looking forward to playing with this!

Again thank you, that is so kind of you!
My ego is purring like a satisfied cat at this point, lol.

Thank you, that is such a nice thing to say!

I am proud of my heritage as an Acadian.

270 years later. After they tried to destroy the Acadians, we are still here, the Heart of Acadia still beats!
Celebrate with us on Aug. 15 at 6pm, #MakeSomeNoise #Tintamarre #Acadian (End)

On National Acadian Day, August 15 (Quinzou), the Tintamarre reminds us of the sadness of the Grand Dérangement, and the joy at our survival.
At 6pm we gather with noisemakers, pots and pans with spoons, kazoos, even just our voices and we celebrate that we are here. (Continued)

The first tintamarre was held in 1955 to commemorate the bicentenary of the expulsion of the Acadians from the Maritimes.
The inspiration for the Tintamarre comes from a medieval French custom during which a crowd makes as much noise as possible in order to mark a sad or a joyful event. (Continued)

"Listen! It is the sound of the heartbeat of French-speaking #Acadia in 1955 - two centuries after it was supposed to have been extinguished." - René Lévesque

What is a #Tintamarre ("racket" or "din")? #Acadian (Continued)

As a proud Canadian living in Alberta I was thrilled to register at www.Forever-Canadian.ca 🇨🇦

Don't let our MAGA Kool-Aid drinking Premier Danielle Smith, and her band of misfit separatists, jeopardize the greatest country on Earth.

Read all of this thread.

One cheek served on top of the apple and mirepoix mash from the Dutch Oven, in the foreground. In the background is a serving of potato salad.

Apple Cider Braised Pig Cheeks served with Potato Salad, for the win!

This is delicious, the cheeks are so tender I'm cutting them with a fork! I'll definitely make these again!🍽️🍜

If you can be here in about 2 hours, I'll set you a seat at my table!

My Dutch Oven with the pork cheeks in it. You can see the granny smith apples that are cut into chunks, some of the sage leaves and bits of the pig cheeks poking through the broth. It already smells amazing, I can't wait to see how it tastes!

Tonight's menu is, Apple Cider Braised Pig Cheeks with Granny Smith Apples, Rosemary, and Sage.

I just set it to simmer and it should be ready in about 3 hours! 🍜🍽️

Sounds amazing!
Such a delicious mental image.

Me too!
I've never had pork cheeks before so I'm looking forward to trying them!

Sounds delicious!

On a hot day, that's a good choice!

A very distant relative is mentioned in it.

Boudreau, Jean (Charles) married Marguerite Guilbeau. He was the son of Michel Boudreau and Anne-Marie Leblanc.

The first Boudreau known to be in #NewOrleans, eventually our family name becomes Boudreaux down there, and Acadian becomes #Cajun! (End)

Some more #Boudreau family history. #Acadian

Prior to Le Grand Derangement, The Great Deportation, which began in 1765, there were no records of Acadians in New Orleans.

That began to change with the census they did in 1776 which could be directly compared to the Acadia Census of 1661. (Continued)

Yes, yes you did. heh

Holy shit, look at you go! I only wish I could be that productive!

I am looking forward to your results!

I have a flank steak marinating for tonight's supper. I'm going to BBQ that. Tomorrow I'm doing pig cheeks braised in cider, that I'll slow cook for 3 or 4 hours.

Does anyone else have kitchen adventures going on this weekend?🍽️🍜

He died on August 20, 1688, in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, having lived a long life of 87 years, and was buried there. (End)

He is the father of the Boudreau / Aucoin family of North America. He had seven sons and five daughters with Michelle Aucoin between 1644 and 1666.
Some of their descendants founded the village of L'Acadie in Quebec after the deportation of the Acadians in 1755. (Continued)

When Michel Boudrot was born in 1601 in La Rochelle, France, he was a farmer. His father, Jean, was 32 and his mother, Francoise, was 21.
He arrived in Acadia in 1632 with the commander Isaac of Razilli. Settled in Port-Royal (Acadie), where he was lieutenant-general and judge in 1684. (Continued)

National #Acadian Day is coming up on August 15, and I'm celebrating my history and heritage as an Acadian and a Canadian!
First #Boudreau (#Boudrot) in Canada, Michel Boudrot and his wife Michelle (Aucoin) Boudrot they arrived about 1632! (Continued)

YouTube video by Marc Boudreau Two hours before high tide, channel is definitely running now

No fish harmed this time though I wish I was there fishing for seaweed, it would have been a successful experience then, lol.
It's 2 hours before high tide and if you saw my videos from yesterday you can see just how much water pours through here as the ride comes in.
