The Big Green Egg saw solid action in recent weeks, starting with a spiral ham. Friends Arlene and Pete wanted to invite us over for dinner. But they asked if I’d cook their ham on the Egg. Duh! Armed with warm weather, I was in. For anyone who has not...

As I sat in our backyard on a recent Sunday, the smell of wonderfully seasoned chicken wings wafting up from our Big Green Egg grill, I came to realize I let my family and friends down this summer just by not barbecuing more. The Egg needs a good workout, and...

Tina Dyck and Emma Ackworth colour while waiting for Santa to arrive at the Breakfast with Santa event Dec. 5 at the W.I.S.H. Centre in Chatham. Getting up on a Saturday morning and going to work after an already long week may not sound appealing to some, but...

What a difference a year – and a new hip – makes. I spent five hours Saturday doing yard work, with the help of my wife, and felt great. A year ago, my right hip would have had me take breaks about every half hour to 45 minutes, and I’d have been lucky...
