    Yorkshire Pudding

    At our house we've been using muffin tins that are almost as old as I am. Last week at Canadian Tire I picked up a couple LAGOSTINA non-stick muffin pans and these are excellent. They are a little more money....about twenty dollars each but well worth it. Yorkshire Puddings rise out of these...

    Baked Beans

    The thing I like about this recipe is that it is simple. About half the recipes out there will call for you to soak the beans in water overnight or cook the meat beforehand in the water to make a broth. The recipe has been in our family for close to a hundred years. One of the reasons it has...

    Robert B. Parker

    I was saddened to learn yesterday that one of my favorite authors died in January of this year. I guess the story was in the news but obviously I missed it. Robert B. Parker wrote detective mysteries. Robert B. Parker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Assembling a new barbeque

    You know, there was not even an extra screw. If I had lost one, I would have had to find one somewhere or buy one. I think that is running things a bit tight.

    Carpenter Ants

    I'm not sure what this means but this afternoon there was a virtuall swarm of blank ants on the end of my roof at one end. I'm guessing about 2 to 300 insects. Some of the ants had wings and some didn't.. I'm going to take a few samples to people who handle bug infestations. Anybody else...

    Assembling a new barbeque

    It has three burners on which you can turn the gas up or down. What I can't change is the distance from the flame. I was barbequeing two chickens that had been cut in half with a leg, a wing, and a half breast on each piece. There is a little oil pan that is supposed to catch the excess oil...

    Assembling a new barbeque

    As I said, we did a couple of chickens the other night. It sounded like a good plan but what I didn't count on was all that fat that the chicken halves gave off. I spent most of my time putting out fires. I did the steak directly on the grille. It looks like maybe chickens would do better...

    Assembling a new barbeque

    You got that right. They gave every part a number but there was no identifying number on any part. We ended up taking a digital camera to the Can Tire store and photographing the unit that was already assembled. It took us about five hours to put the damn thing together. The good news is...
