The high today in Regina was 5C. Downright tropical! Spring may finally be on the horizon. Early April is usually the first month where winter is finally on its long way out for the year. There is still quite a bit of snow left, especially on northern exposures where the sun can't get at it. I'm quite relieved that this long and snowy winter we had in 2024/25 is now more or less over.
Of course, that means it is time for barbecue season... my favourite way to cook. Not having access to the BBQ throughout the five or six months of winter is a bummer. So... today was the day that I decided it was warm enough at 5C to actually get outside and fire up (quite literally) my old charcoal barbecue. Luckily I still had some briquettes left over from last year.
Today on the menu was Greek burgers with feta and mayo along with a spring mix salad. I haven't made this dish for quite some time. Lucky for me, the family loved this dish and it was well-received. I thoroughly enjoyed it too. The mix of beef and feta / mayo with shallots in the meat reminds me a great deal of the old "souvlaki on a bun" that was available at Tim's Souvlaki in the Golden Mile Mall back in the 1990's. Just the taste brought back some great memories.
A bit chilly to be barbecuing in 5C weather but it was still very much worth it for the first barbecue of 2025. All in, a great meal and a great early spring evening.
