Weird Concoctions?

Jul5

Have any of you, come up with a weird food concoction, off the top of your head? Yesterday I didn’t know what to eat for lunch. I did know I didn’t want to have a sandwich though. So, I opened up my pantry, and after staring at it for a while, came up with a corn and chicken salad. I took a can of no salt added corn niblets, then added 2 slices of deli roasted chicken meat. I also added a chopped pickle, a tablespoon of miracle whip and Frank’s hot sauce. Now, I know it probably looks and sounds gross, but it wasn’t half bad LOL I’ll definitely make it again 😀 Though next time, I’ll added more spices, to jazz it up some!!

Toronto Rotary Ribfest – July 1, 2012

Jul5

On Canada Day, we met up with friends at the Ribfest, and my GOD was it ever hot!! But, we donned our hats, and took to the lines!! We had gone earlier then usual, so the lines weren’t too bad, though it got crowded pretty quickly.

We started at the Bibb’s BBQ stand first, and to me, it was the best. To me, sauce is important when it comes to ribs, and they had the best sauce. It was the perfect combination of sweet, tang and spice. The ribs themselves had a nice charr on them, yet fell off the bone, and I could’ve eaten WAY more LOL

We also tried ribs from Bad Wolf Kansas City BBQ, and they were pretty good as well. They weren’t as charred, but still fell off the bone…what more can a gal ask for right?! 🙂

We ended with a pulled pork sandwich from Sticky Fingers BBQ & Company, which was really good as well!! The sauce complimented the pulled pork nicely, and it almost melted it my mouth – just how I like it 😀

If you love ribs and being outdoors, even though it was sweltering hot, then you should check out the Ribfest next year. You can check out the Ribfest in Mississauga, as that’s coming up, later in July as well.

The Fork & Plate At Lefroy Harbour

Jul3

We took a nice drive yesterday, as the weather was just so beautiful. We started getting hungry, and my hubby found this place, for us to stop and have lunch at 🙂

We both ordered the Beef Melt, mine with a side of fries, and my hubby with a side of kettle chips. It was a huge portion, so we didn’t eat it all. Unfortunately the beef was a bit dry, and the fact that they didn’t have fresh cut fries, was kind of disappointing. BUT!! The atmosphere was nice. We ate on the patio, overlooking the harbour, with a much welcomed breeze. The wait staff, were really nice as well, which was a plus. Would I go back there again? I think so. Would pass on the Beef Melt though, but maybe something else on their menu, would be better. I’m always willing to give a place a second chance, as you never know, you could be pleasantly surprised.
