Classic Martini at oldfatguy.ca

I never was that fond of Martinis. However, I am going through a binge of trying classic cocktails. On reading, I think I found out why I don’t care for modern martinis. They are basically chilled gin. They have so little vermouth, you might as well put a gin bottle in the fridge and swig from it. Continue reading Classic Martini →

Smoked Honey Glazed Spicy Chicken at oldfatguy.ca

Here is the problem. She Who Must Be Obeyed buys boneless skinless chicken thighs because they are low in the fat and good for you. Whoopee! She still wants me around!

Unfortunately, skin and bones equals flavour. Sigh. Continue reading Smoked Honey Glazed Spicy Chicken →

Martinez Cocktail at oldfatguy.ca

I have been reading about classic cocktails. The Martinez Cocktail goes back to the mid 1800’s in California and is believed to be the precursor to the martini. I figured I would look distinguished drinking a cocktail with that kind of pedigree. She Who Must Be Obeyed assured me I was wrong. Continue reading Martinez Cocktail →

Of course it can be grilled but I do like a touch of smoke on my beef so I fired up my charcoal smoker, The Weber Smoker Mini. Continue reading Smoker Tri Tip Steak →
