Day 321. June 23, 2014. Nice day in Grande Prairie

LOCATION:  Grande Prairie, Alberta in NW part of province
WEATHER:  Beautuful. Highs in 70s

George cooked his famous shrimp and grits for breakfast...with a twist.  He used the meat from some of the leftover lobster legs.  It turned out great.  The weather is so nice that we ate in the sunroom.

Aunt Martha is hosting a business luncheon tomorrow, so we helped her prepare for that.  George and Uncle Leo worked on the deck, trimming lilac bushes, 
...while Aunt Martha and I cooked and shopped.

Enjoyed Skyping with daughter Alexis in Rochester, MN.  

For dinner, I made a mushroom risotto from a recipe I found online.  It called for truffle oil, which I miraculously have, scrounged from a campground kitchen several months ago in Texas that someone left behind. I marinated chicken thighs from a sauce we bought at the Tabasco factory in Louisiana.  George did them on the grill with some marinated portobellos.  This BBQ was a test of the gas grill, so we will be prepared to grill hamburgers tomorrow for the luncheon.
