    Canadian False Spring Rib cookout

    Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. Winters are long and rotten here. Us Canadians and especially here in Nova Scotia with our maritime weather, have a running joke that there are NOT 4 seasons, but in fact there are 11! I have added a photo of the list of them and an arrow...

    Rolled my first fatty

    Well, being that I live in Canada and it’s now legal to do so, I finally rolled and smoked my first fatty yesterday. Lol 1lb (ish) of what I call “warm” Italian sausage.

    Stuffed Burgers for Dinner Tonight

    Ground beef was on for a steal at the local grocery store so I picked up a value pack size of it. Decided tonight was a good time to make some burgers. Temps here in Nova Scotia rose up above 0C this afternoon as we have some rain on the way, so it was good time to pull the MES30 out. Not much...

    Monster pork chops

    So pork chops were on special last week at the local grocery. Went to have a look and all the ones in the display cases were sad looking. So thin you could read through them. Probably make them like that so the average sad griller will overdo them and not give themselves food poisoning. Haha So...
