Snow .. Oh, Yay! | Sybaritica

It’s almost the end of June… barbecue season, supposedly… and here it is snowing.

I took this picture an hour ago from our front door looking towards the almost thawed ‘Dead-Dog Lake’ and now I am having some misgivings about a planned cook-out tomorrow. I’ve already had a bit of bad luck in that two packages of chicken I had in the fridge ready to marinate today turned out to be decidedly ‘iffy’ smelling when I opened them. Now, I have to do a sudden quick change of menu at the last minute (sigh).

Readers of my blog will recall that I have never been entirely sure what it is that my wife does for a living with all the travelling she does. I have long suspected that she might be an international assassin and, tomorrow she is hosting a group of ten people up from Toronto who, she tells me, are from IBM. Personally, I think they are actually CIA but, in any event, I have been dragooned into cooking a couple of dishes for an ‘al fresco’ meal at the nearby, and very beautiful, Sylvia Grinnell Park.

Things are not boding very well so far so I hope those reading this will keep their fingers crossed for me. If everything does come off alright, maybe I will have some nice pictures for you in a day or so…
