I planted a squash plant from a seed I found in the compost at work in squash guts and it was very successful.

I now have about 70lb of squash from that one plant. Pictured is about 1/3 of the harvest stored in my plant room because I ran out of space in the kitchen.

They seem similar to Kabocha squash but I've tried roasting it and it was inedibly dry, like chewing powder almost. Good flavor, inedible texture.

I've showed pictures to a few coworkers who have told me they know it as "dry squash" and that it's a Nova Scotia thing. Indeed the only references I've found online for dry squash that look similar have been from Nova Scotia. None included a recipe, just advice on picking the driest squash at the store.

So what is this extremely dry squash I've grown and what is it good for? What is the right way to cook/eat it?

There be ghosts of ol' gold miners in our neck of the woods.

Is there anybody allowing a Male in his 30’s to crash for the night? I’m a chill dude and honestly, i just don’t want for this arguement to escelate even more when she gets home from Trick or Treating.

Does anyone have any recommendations for insurance companies who will insure someone with a DUI?

They were dropped by TD

Saw planes flying over, then all these trails, what’s going on , St Margaret’s Bay?

My husband is taking his class 3 this month and I am wondering where he should apply? What are usual start times? Any companies let you take truck home with you if you live more rural?

Thanks

Internet and data is spotty right now. Second time this month. Anyone else?

Has anyone heard any platform announcement about ending Non- Disclosure Agreements? These typically shield the perpetrator - making society less safe as information about harm & danger does not get out.

It costs nothing to end NDAs but might actually protect/support survivors of violence & harassment.

(The province declared domestic violence is an epidemic but ironically are unwilling to address NDAs.)

Did they remove the English proficiency requirement for nurses and hospital staff ? The level of sheer and dangerous incompetence I’m hearing about is terrifying. Care providers (including leadership) who are unable to respond to questions, and are clearly PRETENDING they understand you when they don’t.

That wasn’t a yes or no question so why are you responding affirmatively ???????

Mass is sending one to New York this year for the first time since 1959. And it made me wonder if you guys are sick of chopping down a tree and sending it to Boston. It's been almost 100 years since the Halifax explosion, is it time to move on?

Curious how people are feeling about the new School Lunch Program.

My wife has seen people complaining about the food on Facebook, but I suppose that's gonna happen. Our own kids are very happy with it -- though a couple times they said the food was a bit spicy. Whatever -- they should learn to eat spicy food.

Anybody know of places to buy mead? I used to buy from Ursan Meadery but it looks like they may have closed. NSLC and Rockhead's websites aren't giving me anything either.

Hey all,

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for home insurance for a freehold mobile home property in Nova Scotia/Canada. I am having a tough time finding anyone who wants to insure this property I am looking at purchasing, so thought I would take to Reddit to see if someone has any personal experience with an Insurance company they can recommend who deals with mobiles/trailers. My purchase conditions date is quickly approaching and so far I've been declined by Aviva and Intact as they don't want to insure a mobile, and especially not one with a wood stove as a backup heat source. :(

I am located on the North Shore of NS if that helps at all!

Appreciate any recommendations!

Hey all this is a weird one but how popular is metal detecting in Nova Scotia given the long history and it's old towns. Anybody do this for a hobby, and if so what have you found?

Looking for suggestions, I have a senior dog on the smaller side so I’m looking for someone who will take a little extra care. Any suggestions? I’m willing to travel with him for a better experience. Not opposed to Pet Smart but I want to make sure he’s with someone experienced. Thanks!

Can anyone provide me more clarity on sick leave? I am new to a company and they have told me they follow the NS Labour Standards Code which is that I am allowed 3 days of unpaid sick leave per year.

I’m just wondering what would happen if I get the flu or something at the beginning of the year and use my 3 days. If I get sick again later in the year what happens if I can’t come to work because of that?

I'm going to preface this by saying I hate littering. It's a pointless thing to do.

I pick up garbage along the highway by my house. Everyone I know that smokes disposes of their cigarettes properly. It's not a difficult.

So why, in the past year, have these guys blatantly dropped their garbage in front of my house at least twice? The first time the guy tossed his Tim's garbage onto my driveway.

Today I gave a man back his cigarette butt. He denied it was his until I told him I watched him throw it on the ground.

Just throw your fucking garbage away properly. It's not hard. Especially when you're suppose to be representing a company.

Not sure how someone contributed ideas to our political parties but I've read that removing 1 % hat costs the goverment 250 million a year

Why not keep the hat , take the 250 million and give every doctor that moves here 1 million in signing bonus to stay for 20 years .

If doctor sees 4000 patients then at 250 doctor we all just about have one .

Not to mention I would rather have health care then $ 250 dollars
