Kim's going to throw a couple of steaks on the grill, and we'll probably have a nice salad with it, since I have all those sugar snap peas.

I might make them our "Luau burgers" which have a grilled pineapple ring and a bit of barbacue sauce on them served on an onion bun

lol, alix, what holiday? don't canadian calendars have american holidays on them? ours show canadian holidays. boxing day, thanksgiving in october, molsen day, bacon day, lord stanley's birthday, summer week, and so on...


saturday night's dinner will be boiled lobsters with clarified butter, nuked spuds, and garlic and evoo sauteed broccoli.

i'm gonna fire up the smoker and smoke something on sunday. possibly turkey legs, or spatchcocked chicken, or pork ribs. i'd love to smoke some trout but need more info on it.

moday's menu is still up in the air. probably grilling. there's cheese and basil luganiga that needs to be cooked, burgers, dogs. i'll probably add corn and pineapple. maybe fish, pineapple, sweet onion, and red peppers kabobs.

Memorial Day. Actually, today we'll have a cook-out. Ribs that I marinade in a kal-bi type marinade. Maybe some corn-on-the-cob if I can find it (definitely too early for local!) and possibly some grilled veggies. I think a friend will come over, but maybe not. Maybe it'll just be the two of us, and that works fine!
