So as you have seen in this previous post... it has snowed a TON! That wasn't even the total accumulation of snow we have gotten since then. Needless to say I thought our BBQ was LOST FOREVER (ok maybe just till spring). But of course, me being pregnant, I started really wanting a nice medium rare steak with Montreal Steak Spice, that only Ian can make right!!!!!!
It pursuit of this goal ;) I planned a steak night on our weekly meal plan (created by my dear friend Rhonda).
side note - I have been using this meal plan for many months now (a year maybe?) and I love it. I had made a set of 'regular use' plans that I would rotate through but I found I would rather make a new menu every week that applied to our schedule and included regular new menu items.
Steak night is TONIGHT!!!!! and I did remember the trouble of the buried BBQ in advance. I trudged through the untouched knee/waist deep snow in my backyard just to get to the deck. It was so nice out but I decked out in full snow gear to avoid getting wet from the deep snow.
DISCLAIMER: Ian advised against me shovelling in 'my condition' but I wanted to try and said I would do what I can! Ian DOES NOT make his pregnant wife shovel a meter of snow. He is wonderful and kind and has shovelled 99% of the snow all winter.
I made pretty good progress... it actually cheesed me off that I couldn't finish it all. In the midst of this snow hauling I looked up at my neighbours deck and was shocked to see not a single spot of snow on it..... NONE... crazy. They must have kept up with the snowfall so they could BBQ all winter long too :) So this is what has been done and I am leaving the rest for Ian to finish before he fires up the grill. Hopefully he can handle it ;)
oh and now we can escape out our back-door in case of emergency. I am pretty much a hero :)
