Sunshine, awesome day, farmer's market and a wonderful dinner.

Where are we today ? 

Galvin Bay resort Buckhorn Ontario

         A wonderful warm sunny day, really does not get much better than this. Sunny and about  74 f (23c). So today's plan was to wander on into Peteborough 2o minutes south of here and explore the Peterbourgh Farmer's market, a nice place to explore on a wonderful sunny day.
        Before we got there stopped at a Giant Tiger store to check out their deals and pick up a couple must have things (real cheap).
        Then to the market, perfect day for it. Lots of vendors and lots of people, but not too crowded, just the way we like it.

a few buskers here and there, pretty good music

fresh fruit and veggies

How about Hula Hoops?

          Then as Suzie had nap I made a quick trip to Buckhorn for a few items and stopped by the lift locks, lotsa boaters here just enjoying the great weather.

        Back home Suzie finished her nap and enjoying a social time with neighbors Pat and Norm and a few friends, also getting her doggie fix again with BJ (Billy Jean) smuggling her.

more wild life wandering abou (a huge box turtle)

         Now tonight I am going to do a roast beef on our Weber Q. Found anice small 1.6 lb  outside round oven roast for $6.50 so thought I would give it a try. Now we don't eat a lot of beef and this roast could be tough done on the grill.
         But I a marinated it in olive oil, garlic and vinegar  for about three hours. Preheated the grill for about 15 minutes and turned on to low.

this my trivet, (cooling rack for baking)

         Put a double layer of foil under the rack, roast on the rack,taters on the grill, and closed the lid for an hour. Then my meat thermometer reads 138f (perfect).

roast and taters are done,
mesquite wood chips in foil on the right side.

         At this point I took the roast and taters off the grill, set on a plate and covered with the foil that was under it, makes all the juices go back into the roast. Turned the grill up a bit and heated fresh asparagus sprayed with olive oil just for couple minutes to make it warm and tender, Oh soo good!

thinly sliced the beef across the grain and it was AWESOME!

        We were both very happy with the results and will do this again. Just need to be careful to not overcook it! Why cook inside when I can do it on outside on the grill. The mesquite wood chips in foil also added an excellent smoky flavour too!
         Now again we had another awesome day. You know they keep getting better, must have something to do about being retired!
         Sitting outside here with Suzie, she reading her book and me posting this blog after 8  pm t-shirts and shorts and no bugs yet, gotta love this lifestyle. Now me done time to go inside and put our feet up.
         Thanks for stopping by, hope your day was as good as ours!
