The last day of August and its gonna be a hot weekend.

Where are we today ?
New Hamburg Ontario
        After a productive day yesterday we had an awesome sleep last night, its cooler now and can feel fall in the air. But today is gonna be hot and humid. Up to 37 c (99f) with the humidex and your clothes just stick to you. First thing I called my chiropractor at 8:20 am for an adjustment. 9:15 appointment, normally no problem only 25 minutes away, so I hopped in the car and head to Waterloo. Opps a traffic jam! Sat there on the expressway, no where to go for about an hour  just inching along for about two miles. 5 lanes merging into one rush hour and an overturned gravel truck.

         Got to Doc had my back all tuned up then off to vist ma, adjust her computer a bit enjoy a coffee and chat for a bit. Then back home, run a few errands and was able to read in the shade for a bit,  anice cool breeze here awauy from the city. Then start supper.
         I had a mess of pigtails and ribs and thought I would just pop them in the oven with sauerkraut to roast away and get tender for a few hours.  Near the end put some fresh corn on the cob and potatoes on to boil, slice up a couple garden fresh tomatoes, sauerkraut for a very tasty Waterloo County speciality. Fall off the bone ribs and pigtails with a sticky sweet bbq sauce, with all the trimmings. Pigtails for Dennis and I, ribs for the ladies, and it was so good.
supper is ready !

        May not be for everybody but we sure do enjoy this treat occasionally.
        By the time we were done its getting late, so we can sit outside looking for a sunset that we could not see, but at least it was still quite nice and quiet out.
       Thanks for stopping by and enjoying the last day of August with us, Labour Day weekend is upon us! Hope you have a good one.

    1. Omer likes us around but he still is a "farm" dog, likes the wide open spaces, campgrounds and leashes are not his style, too many rules.

  4. Hate rush hour and we sure don't miss it. I don't know how people in the Toronto area can handle it day after day. I know Ottawa was bad enough. Good thing you don't have to deal with that traffic every day.

    "Pig tails" don't think I could do it. Glad you enjoyed your meal.

    1. Very similar to ribs, but more moist and sweeter meat, a bit more fat. Glad not everybody likes them they would be expensive then.

  5. The ribs and corn I could really go for. Not so sure about those pig tails yet.
