Ribs and Baked Potatoes
The heat wave continues here on the Island. We have had a week now of temperatures up in the mid to high 90°F’s and it is suppose to continue for a few more days. Moe and I went into Victoria today just so we could be in the air conditioned car. We had lunch at…
Cold Lobster Dinner
It has been sooooo hot here the last week and the high temperatures (mid to high 90’s) are going to continue into next week. With no rain in sight. We usually have a mild summer with temperatures in the low to mid 70’s. I’m not complaining. I love hot summers. One of Clif’s friends sent…
Baking on Convection
I’ve never been a big fan of convection baking. I’ve had three ovens (including a Viking) that claimed to be convection but they weren’t “true” convection. They just had a fan in the back of the oven. I found that I had to play around with the temperature and time and it was usually a…
Roast Turkey Dinner in July

Served over mashed potatoes and spinach sauted with garlic.

Homemade Hamburger Buns
We are having burgers with our neighbours tonight. Rather than buy Kaiser buns (my favourite hamburger bun) I decided I would bake buns instead. I used the recipe from King Arthur Flour but adapted it slightly. Shaped and Rising Ready for the oven Just out of the oven The original recipe had way to much…
Roasting Peppers
It is very easy to roast peppers. If you have a gas range you can place the peppers right on the burner. Or roast them on a hot grill, turning as they blacken or they can be roasted using the oven broiler. The broiler is my least favourite way. Once roasted place in a bag…
