Where's the Beef?

All went well with the pot roasts today, both very tender, brisket good and peppery. Sunday dinner was beef, potatoes and brussel sprouts, natural gravy was the best yet.

Turkey, Smurkey.....

Thanksgiving

Everyone else is cooking a turkey but we have opted for beef and more beef. This is one of the roasts that I am pan searing prior to going in the oven this morning, it is brisket and it has been covered with a three peppercorn mix. The other roast is a sirloin Baron of Beef, about twice as big as this, that's already in the oven.

Side Bed

This is not quite a before shot of the new side bed next to the driveway, we've planted three items while the weather is still kind, does not look like much yet but as with all things garden, growing changes everything.

A four man Clipper OC4

We thought we'd add a photo of one of Gibsons Paddle Club's Clipper OC4 Outriggers to show what we usually paddle around in on Friday.

This one up at McKenzie's Marina in Sechelt is thirty-one feet long and weighs around one hundred and seventy-five pounds. Seats four.

Tuesday, Sechelt Inlet

This morning we went out in an OC6 down Sechelt Inlet, winds were strong and as usual, behind us on the way out which meant that on the way back it was uphill as expected.

The six man outrigger was one of the clubs older canoes, very heavy in relation to our Clipper OC6 canoes and we did not have a dock to launch from, just the ramp from McKenzie's Marina.

Kung Fu

Ah yes, Grasshopper...
