About


 We are fortunate that we can BBQ during the fall. This is a treat because
Quissy and I both love BBQ steaks. Nothing beats the charred steaks with
grill marks and your favourite toppings.
One of the reasons we like the filet mignon is because the cooking process is very fast. 
The cuts are so tender, cooks so fast and its very juicy .Win win both ways and I don’t need to wear long johns to stand outside to BBQ :)
This meal does not take long to prepare. We usually pour ourselves a glass of merlot clink our glasses and get busy with it LOL.
In no time the dinner is ready; we give thanks and just savour our nice and delicious meal.
 Quissy is happy and that’s what I really care about to see a smile on her beautiful face. Nothing beats that :)
