We found a beautiful fresh cod fillet at Dominion for $14, so I cut it in half and made us pan-fried cod and chips for dinner. Mmmm

Dropping Wednesday August 19th on YouTube my interview with radio host, Chris Batstone (K-Rock 97.5). We'll chat about his life changing diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, his life before and after the diagnosis, and plenty about the medium of radio broadcasting. Wed. Aug. 19th

Enough people have expressed an interest in being on my interview show that I’ve decided to go ahead and produce it for another season. Karl Wells Point 2 Point debuts on my YouTube channel @karlwells later this month!

Big YAY! So delighted to catch up with my old colleague, now Ottawa Bureau Chief and Senior Reporter for the Toronto Star, Tonda MacCharles, and her dear Torbay friend, Yvonne Manning, at the Winterset in Summer Literary Festival gala tonight. Beautiful people. ❤️

Drove out from St. John’s to take part as an author in the Winterset in Summer Literary Festival. We’re so happy to be here in beautiful Eastport, Sandy Cove and Happy Adventure. #Canlit #Winterset

Too much time had passed since my friend Tak Ishiwata and I had seen each other. Last night we had a joyful reunion at his superb Basho restaurant. I’m so happy to call this kind, decent man my friend. He also happens to be one of the best chefs this province has ever seen. ❤️

My sincerest thanks to all the folks who stopped by the Breakwater table to have their copy of Openly Karl signed. Your kind comments warmed my heart. Happy Pride! #SJFM #BreakwaterBooks #QueerLit #StJohnsPride

Larry and I and thousands more are feeling so much sadness and regret today. Sadness for the loss of our friend, John Hutton, a true Newfoundland star. A big, bright, gorgeous shining star. One that only comes around every few decades. The kind that lights up a room and leaves a void when they leave

So, I made baked beans again. They are easy to make, and they taste sooooo much better than canned baked beans. Did these in our slow cooker.
