Sometimes you just need a meal in a hurry. There is no reason it can’t be tasty! She Who Must Be Obeyed had a couple of pieces of sockeye salmon fillet and we were busy. I made a simple glaze and grilled it. Home made fast food! Continue reading Honey Sriracha Salmon
I was contacted by EZ Flame BBQ Inc. and asked to try out their product, the EZStart® Charcoal Chimney. There was two problems with this. First, I don’t like to take free products to review in case it sucks. Second, what could be new in the world of charcoal chimneys? You put newspaper in the bottom, coals in the top and light it. Continue reading EZStart® Charcoal Chimney Product Review

Episode 16 of my ShawTV East Kootenay community TV show you can make it shows me making Barbecued Spareribs, Crangria and Candied Salmon!
The Old Fat Guy
Times have changed. Dinner parties used to have cocktails, wine and beer. Now, there are people who don’t drink at all and others refrain from drinking to be designated drivers. These are good changes and a hospitable host should have a great beverage available for the non-drinkers in the crowd. This is one of the alcohol free drinks I serve, a Crangria!

There are two basic results for good barbecued ribs, fall of the bone and bite off the bone where you can bite the meat and it pulls from the bone but doesn’t fall off. As She Who Must Be Obeyed likes bite of the bone, that is what I usually make.
