PEACHES THAT SUMMER FRUIT-GOOD FOR SONYA'S PEACH BITES
Bought some fresh Ontario peaches at the Hillcrest Market Sunday July 20.
I used Sonya's recipe of peach bites.
Cut peaches.
Boccincini slices. Went to Grande Cheese for the boccincini.
Porsciuto slices.
Fresh basil from my pot on the porch.
So a nice simple tasty dinner.
Okay I did not roll them as nicely as Sonya does but the taste was the same.
Something different for a Sunday night.

JULY- THE MONTH FOR OUTDOOR BARBECUES AND PICNICS
I always loved the summer and the opportunities to be outside.
Eat outside.
Adolph always made some great barbecues.
And fresh veggie pizza.
Now my two families carry the torch.

TRYING A NEW BURGER PLACE- HERO CERTIFIED BURGER
Returning from a downtown outing, I was hungry mid-afternoon so knew there were lots of food places at Jane and Major Mackenzie in Vaughan.
I noticed the Hero burger joint sign. So turning right from Jane I found a parking spot.
I ordered the Combo of the Heros special burger and upgraded the drink to a Strawberry milkshake.
I waited about 20 minutes.
The fries were hot and fresh and I ate most of them in the car before I left the parking lot. I had started drinking my milkshake as it was ready before the burger.
I ate the burger at home. Well it was a great burger.
A tasty patty of 6 oz angus beef loaded with their special ingredients. Smoked white chees, tomato, lettuce, onion, stripe of bacon, guacalmole.
I loved it or maybe I was just hungry.
So another option for a quick fast food meal.
Well the bag is empty.#hamburgr#herocertifiedburger#friesfreshfromthegrill#strawberrymilkshake#granpalovestocook#adolphdimambro
