Through the course of this visit Phil has cranked out some amazing meals on his new Weber Grill. One night it was Chicken Wings and Grilled Vegetables. Another night we feasted on Grilled Chiorzo in a wonderfully savory sauce wrapped in a toasted flatbread. Yesterday he dry brined the beef chuck. Early this morning he set the grill up as a smoker and has been tending the fire all day long. As the beef neared doneness he wrapped the roasts in butcher paper. It holds in moisture while still allowing smoke to penetrate. CJ meanwhile enjoyed the opportunity to curl up in the recliner and immerse herself in a classic mystery. She’s been reading a recently acquired copy of the Nero Wolfe tale “Too Many Cooks” by Rex Stout while Phil been preparing the food. Then longtime friends , Nate & Desiree, arrived to enjoy the fabulous smoked beef tacos that was our Fourth of July Feast! Fabulous food, Phil!
Dakar, Senegal: A Wolof Village & The Pink Lake
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
