A Day Off

 

I hope you are all well as we head into the turkey holiday. Whatcha doin' Thursday? We're staying home to be safe. I'll cook; no surprise there.

This past weekend I had to work both Saturday and Sunday. Honestly, I'm burnt to a crisp from that. The job ended yesterday with a court video-conference so now I can relax. I took today off, grabbed my Holga film-camera and hit the road on the S1000R.

First stop -- lunch at Smok-Haus, a terrific BBQ place. Their grilled Shishito peppers are to die for. Bursting with flavor and seasoned with lemon juice and salt. I never imagined a dish like this would become my favorite but it is. Truly.

I'm the only soul eating outdoors in the restaurant's tent, probably because of the 40-degree cold. The waitress, wearing a heavy Winter coat, says they're tearing the tent down tomorrow because nobody is choosing to eat outdoors any more. Guess they need more tough bikers to patronize the place.

  1. Mmmm i went to ogle their menu.. I'm craving some collard greens now.

    Yum. Yum. I'm cooking thursday. I have a variety of options. I figured I'd keep cooking until i got bored.

  2. My brother and nephew are coming over tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the 40s so hopefully we can take a walk. The holidays are so weird this year, but better safe and alive than sorry, right?

  3. It's very wise to stay safely at home for Thanksgiving, and I think all eyes are on you guys, treating it as a kind of rehearsal for the Christmas holidays.
    Those grilled peppers do look delicious! Here, nothing is open, but I'd rather be eating outside in tent even if the temperatures are near to freezing anyway. xxx

    1. Outdoor dining in a tent feels like an adventure!

  4. Due to BC's newest mandate, we can't have our friends over for a day of US Thanksgiving chili and football, sadly. :( However, I made chili anyway, and we're going to hang out and enjoy ourselves.

    Those peppers sound amazing! We still have restaurants with extended outdoor seating (often on the road or sidewalk, as permitted by the city), and they are all set up with heaters. Too cold for me!

  5. This reminds me of my favourite dish that CBC cooks- Padron peppers!

  6. And some hearty canucks! Pish, we're all but in our swimsuits still when it's 40F/4C on this side of the boarder. ๐Ÿ˜„
