My lamb chops were yummy. I just browned them and then braised them for two hours in water with Beef Bovril, garlic (of course), salt and pepper and towards the end I added Veloutine to thicken the gravy and they were very tender and tasty. Of course I had rice with that and some carrots.

I'll have to try cooking lamb chops like that.

Tonight, soft tacos with chicken in a Mexican green sauce... tomatillos, and chilis, some scallions, finely chopped leafy parsley.

I had an apple for dinner last night


Because,.....the night before I had Fetticini Alfredo, a salad with lots of blue cheese, and homemade icecream with butterfingers candybar pieces mixed in

Tonight I had salmon trout. What I do is mix up some of that moist garlic with twice as much honey, spread it over the top of the fish and wrap it in tin foil and bake it in the oven for 35-40 minutes. It gives it a subtle sweet garlic taste. Served with rice and frozen peas.

Fourth of July feast included lots of hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, (for those who like that stuff).. I made tacos (hard shell, traditional) with beef, and chili relenos, and spanish rice... included my parents, some friends from church and old friends from the Air Force... my sister, her boyfriend (wolf boy), and Linda and me. About 15 people in all.

We had a rather calm Fourth....But, we did manage to barbecue a Rib-eye steak and some squash and fingerling potatoes....Ummmm...As an aside, it's not calm around the neighborhood right now. Fireworks going off everywhere...

Fillets of Bassa, quick seared with onions, garlic, salt and fresh cracked pepper. Add Alfredo sauce and slide the pan into a 350°F oven. Use a mandolin to thick slice potatos (don't peel them!) and cook in olive oil over a medium high heat. Serve the fish and potatos with the sauce spooned over the fish and garnish the potatos with grated parmesan.

Serve with a crisp white wine to balance the richness of the dish. I served a little unpretentious Pinot Grigio.

Yummy!

I love a good beef stew, especially on a cold winter night. It warms you up inside.

And yummy it was! I love to cook and usually improvise, using basic cooking techniques and a simple understanding of proportions and what flavours go with what. The single biggest secret when cooking is: use fresh ingredients! For Melissa's birthday BBQ next Saturday I will be making my world famous chili with all ingredients fresh off the shelf. Take a hotdog bun, toast it lightly over the BBQ then slide in a BBed sausage or smokie. Add finely chopped onion, a thin line of mustard then cover liberally with steaming fresh chili. Sprinkle on some grated cheese (flavour of your choice). Wash down with icy cold Canadian beer!

Happy times!
