Where are we today ?
Its was raining first thing this morning and never really stopped all day, did not see the sunshine and don't think the temps got above 5c (40f). But hey no s*%w yet, we can live with that for a few more days. We had an awesome day anyway, 8 am grandson number 4 has hockey practice, today he was goalie, he really seemed to enjoy that, I know we did.

An hour back at home, then back to the arena for 10 am, and watch grandson number one actually play his first game. He played quite well but their team did not win, pretty good hockey though for these young guys.
So today they dropped out here for a visit and said I would whip them up supper. I fired up our Weber Q and cooked a chicken on a trivet this time. The trivet because it was so cold out and had to cook on high temperature for 90 minutes. With out the trivet and foil the bottom would have been pretty black.

Had a great visit with them and they headed back to the big city, before it got too late.
Another day under our belts, nice to see more of the family before heading out.
Want to thank you for stopping in for a read and hope you had as much fun on this rainy day as we had. Now have a great Sunday too, know we will.

Good for you...shouldn't let the rainy day spoil your fun! Glad you made your own sunshine! I will remember the tip with the trivet for cooking the chicken. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWe had too much fun anymway.
DeleteThe trivet works real good when grilling in cold weather.
Thanks for the grilling tip.
ReplyDeleteHope the Weather keeps up until after you leave. It's not nice when you leave tracks on white pavement. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
We wait for the white pavement to turn black on a sunny day.
DeleteSounds like another great day, rain or not!
ReplyDeleteWork great for us!
DeleteI never thought about cooking anything on a trivet. Actually, never thought about cooking a whole chicken either. Let it rain today because next week at this time you should be heading for the sunshine
ReplyDeleteWe will be on the road but lotsa stops along the way.
DeleteSeems to be raining on a whole lot of blog folks today. Your chicken looks almost as good as our wings did.
ReplyDeleteI an real partial to wings, my favourite meal!
DeleteThat chicken looks perfect. Bet it was chilly watching the hockey game. But they are so cute out there.
ReplyDeleteIt was a little chilly, but we dressed for it.
DeleteGlad that you are able to see the grandsons play hockey before you start to head south. I am sure that you will miss them once you leave, I know will miss ours when we head out.

We will miss them but get to see quite a bit of them in the summer.
DeleteYou never cease to amaze me with all these tricks you pull from out of your sleeve to cook great meals on your Weber. Never would have thought to use a trivet to cook chicken on. But then, that's why you're the Weber Master Griller! ;c)
ReplyDeleteLotsa great ways to cook on the Weber.
DeleteSure like your grandson's hockey sponsor - Tim Horton's. I pretty much use a trivet and foil whenever I do a whole chicken on our Weber and they always turn out great.
ReplyDeleteTim Hortons is a great sponsor.
DeleteThis is the first time for the trivet with the chicken, only because it was so cold outside, in the warmer weather I don't usually bother, because I can cook it low and slow.
Nice you got to see the grands play hockey before your departure, they both look sharp in their uniforms. Looked and sounded like a nice dinner and visit with your son, can't go wrong with one of your Weber chickens.
ReplyDeleteWas an another awesome day, with family for sure.
