We kicked off the weekend with the most fabulous New York strip steaks ever!!! There is a new fabulous store in the neighbourhood. I must confess, we bought NY strip steaks last weekend from here and there were also fabulous!! For those in Winnipeg, HMG Meats and Deli (642 Leila Avenue, 339-8406) is THE place to get steaks, pork, garlic sausage....well they will pretty much take care of all your meat needs...(he he).
One thing I love about BBQ season is cooking everything on the grill. Wrap it in foil if you must, toss it on the grill. I did use 1 pot to boil the corn, but I did that outside on the side burner. Corn is NOT in season at all here and I don't feel bad about boiling this stuff instead of grilling it. I didn't even eat it. I took one bite and...well...ew.
If you don't mind, I think I will just give some pictures of BBQ goodness. After a busy weekend of gardening and watching the Boy play baseball, baking some rye bread, banana bread, and so on.....it is time to relax. Here's to a great week for everyone!!

| make a pouch of foil, add a pat of butter, salt and pepper and toss it on the grill!! |
 |
| Salt and pepper is all these perfectly aged steaks need!! |
 |
| Potatoes on, mushrooms on, grill marks perfect! |
 |
| The dissappointing corn looked so good! |
 |
| Yeah, that's right, there is no green on my plate, wanna make something of it? Didn't think so! |
 |
| Oh, and some top notch root beer to top it all off!! |
I hope to get back to blogging more regularly. I think what is going on (besides baseball season) is that after a long, cold winter us prairie dwellars try to spend as much time as possinle outside when it warms up. In the depths of winter, it is easy to cozy up in a blanket and blog away. I have been baking and cooking and taking pictures. I just need to find some time to write.
Until next time, stay warm and eat well!!
Woohoo! I had my first real grilled steak during the staycation. Was nummy. Still got a belly ache, as I usually do when eating the red meats. But anyway, it tasted good and I can't wait to give the grill a go myself.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try the mushroom packet. That looks fantastic. Bless you for saying that all a good steak needs is some salt and pepper. I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteWhat time is dinner Lori? I love steak and with the addition of mushrooms even better!
ReplyDeleteThose photos make a great "ode" to summer. And they are making our mouths water!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore BBQ season. Everything tastes better grilled in my humble opinion. ;)
