That sounds like so mush fun GG!! Is that kind of thing organized in some way?
Looks yummy MsM.
Thank you Tax and Bucky.another tasty looking plate, mofet. you always get such good colour on your meats without overcooking them. cast iron?
I use a screaming hot cast iron stove top ridged grill pan for most of my meats.
I have a button on my smoke detector that tells it to ignore smoke for 10 minutes.And what, pray tell, do you do to prevent a screaming smoke detector from blowing out your eardrum? Seems like every time I use the grill or a cast iron fry pan we have to put up with the noise for ten minutes. No way to bypass the things. And the vent in the microwave over the stove only blows the smoke around - the better to reach the detector, I'm afraid.
Prime cut sirloin steak, baked potato and steamed corn on the cob. Plus a cup of coffee - fresh ground chocolate, caramel nut beans.
We went on a neighborhood porch crawl today - 6 houses serving different nibbles and drinks. I ate myself silly, DH not so much. He had last night's leftovers; I'm just having a glass of wine.

The previous one would tell me that I was making toast.
I've never lived anywhere with hard wired smoke detectors. I buy them in a box and put in a battery. We're supposed to replace them every 10 years. I think I like the individual ones in a box better. You can get one that doesn't detect steam for near the bathroom. The one in the living room, not far from the kitchen isn't supposed to detect most cooking fumes.Oh what I'd give for that feature! We built our house in 2000; all the smoke detectors are interconnected. NO override, no way to turn them off since they are hard-wired but battery back-up. And, just like the old strings of Christmas lights, when one goes off they ALL go off!
We could probably send you some.Guess if I want cool stuff like that I have to move to Canada, eh?
O Canada, our home and adopted land.... Nah, doesn't sound right. Besides, too far from our kids.
That really does sound like fun, do you do that often GG?
We dont have things like that going on in our street
That sounds really cool. Do you mind explaining how it works as a fundraiser? Might be some people here who want to copy the idea.This is the third time they've done this and the first time we participated. Our neighborhood civic league organized it; it's a fundraiser for the league, which maintains a couple of neighborhood parks, among other things, and for the city animal shelter.
The league organizes several events during the year. In May, they're having a bike rodeo with a chili cook-off and in December they organize a holiday home tour
I haven't been very involved with the league recently, because my job became so demanding, but now that I'm not working, I want to do more with that.
