  • Cabin Cooking my Meat Craft Prime Rib

    For my most recent trip to my cabin I stopped in at Meat Craft Urban Butchery to see Greg the Butcher in Port Moody. I decided to try something a little different so I went with a prime rib, bone-in steak. My math in the following video was wonky – the steak was about 18…

  • Meat Craft Urban Butchery; Geldermans Pork

    I took off to the cabin with my daughters for one last long weekend before the “back to school” frenzy took hold of everyone and as usual, I stopped in to see Greg the Butcher at Meat Craft Urban Butchery in Port Moody for my meat fix. Seeing as I was going with both daughters,…

  • Cabin Cooking; the Porterhouse Steak

    I snuck out of town to my cabin again, this time to measure the cabin roof and prep it for a replacement. And of course a trip to the cabin means I’m going to cook meat. As usual, I headed down to see my local butcher – Greg the Butcher at Meatcraft Urban Butchery in…

  • Homemade Bread Part 2

    I decided to give the homemade bread thing another go – this time in my city home.  And this time, I followed the recipe a little more closely. Well, I sort of followed the recipe more closely.  Like I did at the cabin, I again added beer to my bread dough. But instead of adding…

  • Gotham Steel Ceramic Frying Pan

    I just wanted to share a quick update on the Gotham Steel ceramic frying pan that I did a short video of – The ceramic frying pan continues to impress me with its non-stick ability. I have cooked eggs, pancakes, potatoes and other items in it and it still works like a brand new pan.…

  • Cabin Cooking; Bread Making

    On my most recent trip to my cabin, on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year so far, I decided to bake bread. I have been reading and learning about making bread and decided to put my learning into action – on the hottest day of the year. The bread that…

  • Cooking a Ribeye Steak

    A couple of weekends ago I headed up to the cabin with one of my daughters and we took along a pretty massive ribeye steak that we picked up from Greg, the butcher at Meat Craft Urban Butchery in Port Moody. My plan was to cook it on the stove top in a cast iron…
