Get your foodie on!
Yesterday I posted an Instagram pic of a mound of dry rubbed wings, before they headed into the smoker. The almost finished result is above. Years ago, I worked in a restaurant that was known for its great chicken wings. The secret was that they were dry rubbed and then roasts at 275 degrees for [...]
The dry rub has been applied and into the smoker they go!
It has been said before that the best food relies upon the simplicity of allowing good ingredients to speak for themselves. We’ve all seen the pretentious magazine recipes that have a half a page of ingredients. All too often, those recipes include ingredients like ground Tibetan turnip seed, only available at one market in Kathmandu. [...]
I’ve never been a dark meat sort of guy when it comes to my poultry, but a while back I got a great deal on a package of chicken thighs and made some sort of roasted dish that the kids loved. Figuring that you can’t knock a good thing, I decided to play around with [...]
A week long camping trip with 3 children involves some pre-planning around food. Our kids like to help with the menu and the cooking and typically like to cook the same things every time we go.

Our youngest bought his dad (G) an Indian cook book for Christmas. He’s not very adventurous when it comes to food but he does like Butter Chicken. I actually encouraged him to buy the book because I wanted it (but no one need know this!). After cooking a bunch of main stream food for New [...]
The weather this Spring has been excellent and that means that activities like end of season hockey parties are being held outside already. Today’s party is a road hockey get together. What could be more Canadian than beer, food and road hockey? It is also a pot luck and we were trying to think of [...]
Having spent too much time in front of the computer one day last week, Mamma Gee and I retired to the anti chamber, whereupon we commenced channel surfing. As there were no vampire shows on, the remote magically made its way to SpeedTV. Imagine that! We came across The Racing Chef and since combining food [...]
