Not exactly summer fare, but then again we haven’t had summer yet. Temperatures here on the west coast of Canada have been in the mid 60’s with cool nights.  The turkey, just a little 10 pounder, was presalted for two days and then roasted at 500°F.   Moe had already put the turkey in the oven…

  I have two rhubarb patches to pick from.  My neighbour’s and my own.  Clif’ planted his rhubarb  two years ago and mine was just planted last year.  But the more I pick the more it grows. I  had rhubarb leftover so today I’m making a rhubarb and Orange jam. The jam is on cooking…

I’ve been fighting an abscessed tooth since Friday and on top of the constant toothache I’ve also been having trouble eating  because the infection has spread to a lymph node in the neck. It is swollen and it makes swallowing difficult.   Thankfully the antibotics are kicking in and the pain has gone down quite a…

Five Burners, Rear burner for rotisserie and a side burner.   and lots of surface space.  The grill heated up quickly to over 700°F.  Dinner was a New York Strip Steak, big enough for two,  with Grilled Vegetables
