Well this is the first time I've ever tried something like a blog. I never kept a diary or journal when I was a kid so this may take some getting used to. I've decided to try this out after my Aunty Cherie recommended it, and because I've followed some travel blogs from other people and thought they were interesting (mom and dad in Peru, Matt in South America, Kelly in India).
Today is my last day in Summerland. It's been a nice two weeks in the Okanagan and I will miss the weather, the people, and the time-off. I've packed up and I'm sure I'll be missing something, but hopefully I have the right things to get into the Netherlands.
I decided to make myself a "going-away" dinner on my last day here, and am trying to do ribs with the goal of producing something like Darren Greiner's. I cleaned and demembraned them last night, made a rub, and had them marinate overnight. Today I smoked them in the bbq for an hour using some hickory wood chips, then slow cooked for two more hours, and now I'm trying something called a "texas-crutch". I guess it's like steaming them in apple sauce for an hour. After that they'll go back on the grill, and after half an hour get some bbq sauce. I'm a little nervous about them because I couldn't get the barbeque temperature low enough, and reduced the cooking time as a result. Hope it works okay! To go with them I have some peppers stuffed with zucchini, red onions, carrots, arborio rice, and dill, and I plan to make some cheesy garlic bread as well. It's okay to eat an unhealthy meal since it's my last day in Summerland right?
