It’s the Labour Day long weekend here and I smoked a whole chicken. It was a big bird, a little over 8 pounds (3.5 kilos). I butterflied the bird, used a dry rub, went light on the smoke. It turned out not too bad.

Dinner!
Pizza on a home-made crust with a pesto base, chopped bell pepper, fresh mushrooms, smoked chicken, and mozzarella.
Yum.
Yum.
Pizza for dinner. Our own dough, home-made alfredo sauce and basil pesto. Topped with mozzarella and cheddar, fresh spinach, bell pepper, cremini mushrooms, grilled balsamic chicken, black olives, and feta.
It is as good as it sounds.
From cutting board to pot
The vast majority of what we eat, we prepare ourselves. It’s healthy; nutritious; tasty; the way to control ingredients; and a very important skill/art to engage in.
Dinner on the way. Clockwise from top: garlic; roast pork loin; potato; carrot; onion. Offstage and waiting to play their parts: salt and pepper; turkey stock; crushed tomatoes; Hatch green chilies; ground cumin.
It’s quite good.
I will return on Thursday.
Dinner is served
Pizza. Crust made from dough made by Faye, topped with mozzarella, chocolate tomato, just-picked basil sliced very thin. Simple. Delicious.
