I also went to Castlegar last summer and helped Amy make salsa! A bottle of vodka later and we had 52 jars of salsa made! Also made our own clamato out of the scrap tomato juice. Don't ask me the recipe though...I have no clue lol.

My usual burg consists of 1llb extra lean ground beef, 1 egg, worchester, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, chunks of white onion, bit of ketchup, and some BBQ sauce.

I also make a similar burger and stuff it with cheese and bacon in the middle and also another one that is surprisingly good with oats and chopped spinach.

My wife makes homemade burgers with crushed up Doritos in them. Freakin delicious , and you can change up the flavour of Doritos every time you make them.

Marinate your pork, chops or ribs, in Oyster Sauce before throwing them on the BBQ. Season with a little of your fave spice and BAM!!! You'll always be using it.
Try Oyster Sauce when doing chkn wings and 3 cloves garlic then sprinkle sesame seeds . I cook the wings on the barbq then toss them in sauce
