Ahoy! What’s on the grill for the holidays in Kiwi land?

This is so true!I was interviewed by the local paper once and I told them you will see very few women shopping on Christmas Eve, and guys walking into jewelry stores are rarely “Just looking”. They are scrambling! Lots of diamond studs sell on Christmas Eve!

Why do I look at this site when I’ve just finished eating breakfast and had not added a steak to the mix? I need some beef! The French toast casserole was beautiful and very tasty! But it was not steak and eggs…

Yippee! That looks stellar!

Same idea!

that’s it!

It’s really easy, my niece used to live in Simpsonville S. C. And there is a barbecue place called Bucky’s which she adored. This is about as close to their recipe as I’ve found. Enjoy! The apricots make people do a double take it’s more fun for me than anything else!

It is time to do that, I’ll got right on it!

For regular cans, my wife gifted me a “Kitchen Mama” electric opener. Easily the best can opener I’ve owned! No sharp edges, works quickly and easy cleanup! $20!!! NFI, just a good tool

Thanks for being the diligent communicator that you are Chris! Wishing you a merry Christmas and blessed New Year!

I never did. Actually, put the handle under the loop and break the tab loose then turn the fork around and roll the lid back.

No room at the inn!

Some of these techniques never fully fade from our muscle memory! Once loin of pork there pal!

“Hob” is often used in England for a burner, TonyUK might have some insight on that though. If I had more counter space, I’d be on that like smoke on a butt!

Use a fork
