    Dreadful Scam

    Hey just a quick heads up about a possible scam! A "heads up" for you and any of your friends who may be regular Canadian Tire customers. Over the last month I became the victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get hardware supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic...

    The World’s Best (and Most Politically Incorrect) Steak

    I don't think it would survive the Canadian postal service. They have a general policy of breaking a parcel to see if they can. We once had a parcel delivered that was actually bent double. I think the mistake was the sender putting "FRAGILE" signs all over it. The post office is undergoing...

    The Amazing Lyrebird

    The Lyrebird is truly amazing. Somebody posted this a year or so ago. I think it is time to have it back.

    The World’s Best (and Most Politically Incorrect) Steak

    You might be confusing what we are talking about with a "tube steak" which is no relation to a rib eye steak............Indeed, it is no relation to any meat that I know of. I think Mikey, to get one of my steaks, you have to travel to Vancouver Island

    The World’s Best (and Most Politically Incorrect) Steak

    Your wish is my command.....:smile: I have made blue cheese-crusted steak. I just prefer my steak au natural......though I have been known to put a large slab of blue cheese on the steak plate so I can have a hunk of blue cheese with each bite.........Has to be really good blue cheese...

    The World’s Best (and Most Politically Incorrect) Steak

    I don't want to contribute to anything that might cause the death of even more elephants. The best steak in the world is a 11/4" ribeye steak cooked by me. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, and served with perfectly done new potatoes the size of marbles, and baby carrots along with a tossed...

    Moose soup

    What I remember is the dark, tasty juices from the moosemeat and bones. I think we remember what we thought were the "good things" from our youth. I really don't know if there was a better way to cook the moosemeat but I do remember my mom's cooking. More than anything else, we think fondly...

    Origins of the Hamburger

    That is indeed a lovely barbecue. The smoker feature is excellent. Just one thing though. Maybe along with the salt and pepper shakers, we could provide an extra shaker of ash. No good barbecue burger is complete with out a bit of ash on it...:lol:

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    That is not proof and it's still rubbish.!!

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    This is what I wrote: I'm sure the problem here is not nearly as severe in Canada as it is in the U.S.. My reasoning is simply that we don't have nearly the same percentage of soldiers serving in the various trouble spots in the world. I don't say we do not have a problem with homeless people...

    Global Warming ‘Greatest Scam in History’

    This is absolute rubbish! No evidence, complete ignorance of the real issues, and out and out lies. We have no trouble convincing those in Alaska, or the Canadian Arctic that Global warming is real, because it is real and that is where the GW effects are most dramatically seen and felt. Anyone...

    Pot Roast to die for

    I probably would have used the crock pot but I was a bit short of time. I would have let that roast cook in the crock pot for eight or nine hours. I had just over four hours to cook dinner. It turned out great...:smile:

    Pot Roast to die for

    Should work great in the crock pot. Crock pots are generally a little gentler on roasts with their lower temperatures. Good Luck....:smile:

    Pot Roast to die for

    This was our Sunday dinner. It started with a 6 and a half pound boneless blade roast. I browned the roast on all sides, including the ends in hot fat in a deep skillet. I then nestled the roast in a deep roasting pan with a lid that would just barely hold the roast. Where I could find space...
