The upper atmosphere was full of smoke earlier this week from the wildfires in western Canada, and the sunrises were indicative of that.
Full of smoke.

A meal fit for a previously Texan.
Faye and I paid a visit to Traylor Parker’s Real Texas BBQ. I had the Smoked Brisket Sandwich with Potato Salad and McCaunaghey’s (vinegar) Cole Slaw. Faye had the Smoked Turkey with Cornbread Stuffing Sandwich with Baked Beans and Creamy Cole Slaw and a side of Cranberry Compote.
Everything tasted much better than it may look. We will be back.
Smoking meat
A beef brisket, rubbed with spices and herbs, smoked low and slow. And oh is it good.
Smoked chicken
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 was served.
A recent dinner: Smoked pork tenderloin, smoked mashed potatoes, scarlet runner beans from the garden with red pepper grilled in a foil packet, and picked-that-day grilled corn slathered with a mayonnaise and sriracha sauce aioli.
It was as good as it looks.
Bounty
A recent harvest. Ham hocks and beef brisket home smoked; grilled jalapeno popper; and a poblano, jalapeno, tomatillo, and tomato from the garden. Simple yet wholesome fare.
Dinner is served
Clockwise from top. Warm potato salad featuring smoked potatoes; a stir-fry of chard and snap peas from our garden with red pepper; smoked pork rib; smoked pork loin; in the centre kale salad and celery, both from the garden, with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries.
A wonderful meal.
