You have to give the convection ovens credit, they do a fantastic job roasting meat. Grated lemon peel salt pepper beats store bought every time. Let me add that a 3 hour salt, honey, brine will do so much toward improving your chicken whether convection roasting, frying or any other method of cooking that you will find it hard to believe. It retains moisture (no more dry chicken). On another note, I recently bought a Nuwave air fryer and used it twice before realizing our convection oven is doing the exact same thing without the space limitations. It is in the box and some lucky person will receive a nice gift soon.
I put a lot of effort into my bees, bbq, and garden and it's a lot of work, so I thought a blog would be nice. If I had to put them in order of what is the hardest and most time consuming it would be bees, garden, and bbq. I have reached a happy place on bbq so it's easy, not so much with the other two. Always learning maybe you can learn with me.

Brief Inspection
I hate to feel lost and confused but that's exactly how I felt on this inspection on these new long hives. The bees do seem to be doing great though.

Baked Pasta
The key to a good Meat Sauce is not in the ingredients so much as in the cook time. I like to cook it in the crock pot 24 hrs or so. Anchovies will make certain dishes really special.
Hot Wings Meal
What is your favorite Hot Wing meal? I suppose fries, slaw, and a roll is the most common but if you like them as much as I do anything works.

Yogurt Fruit Cookie Treat
This is so good you really should try it. The frozen fruits we use are: Dark Cherries, Pineapple, and Strawberries but I'm sure there are more. Since the yogurt is plain Greek yogurt I add honey and mix it together with the yogurt and fruit before adding the Coconut cookies broken up some. I use Mrs Thinsters but I'm sure any crisp thin cookie would be good, I think Archway makes some good ones.

Bee Hive Building
This will be my fourth Horizontal Hive if I can ever finish it. The bottom is in and next will be the entrances, then I will work on the top. This was suppose to be my first horizontal that me and my good friend Keith worked on but then I decided to have them built and that deal fell through after 3 and I wanted 6 or more total. After this one I plan to switch to a Layens style with extra deep frames and it will be modified and use 2 med lang frames turned 90 degree and attached.

Brisket Philly Cheese Steak
I sure am glad we have this meat in the fridge often and that I tried this cheese steak with it. It sure was good and having the meat already cooked made it a quick and easy friday night meal.
