The Saturday Weekend Review #8 December
Mr.CBB’s Saturday Weekend Review
It’s Saturday and that means working late and sleeping in for me. The best part of waking up this morning was that last night I made Walnut and White Cheddar Biscuits a recipe from my mate Aunt B and they turned out amazing.
The goal was to use them with my homemade Pulled Pork that I put in the crockpot this morning. Yep, the house smells.. well. porky!
I couldn’t take it any longer so I had to test a biscuit when I woke up this afternoon so I fried a couple eggs with a huge slice of ham and this is what it looked like…..
So keep an eye out in the upcoming weeks for my homemade pulled pork recipe on the blog tucked in between the cushions of this lovely biscuit! Ok now that we have the food out-of-the-way this week I did alot of Christmas baking as you know….
I also went down to the Ministry of Transportation to pick up a $15 temporary sticker for our winter vehicle. On the way there some donut decides to run a red light and do a right hand turn as I’m going 80 up a highway (brilliant) hand on horn and Mrs. CBB could practically touch the car if she opened her window.
Didn’t have a minute to live I guess. No accident thank goodness but if there was someone in my left lane things would not have had a happy ending I can assure you. (Anyhow…. while at the Ministry) Upon asking if there was a cheaper way to do this to eliminate the cost of the temp sticker as we had to get an E-test first then come back and get the actual sticker. She tells us, of course.
Did you know that your E-test lasts for one year? Nope, I had no idea.
We didn’t have all of this in the UK so it’s all new to me. Now I know that I can get the E-test done before I park my vehicles that way I won’t have to waste $15 on a Temporary sticker (money grab ) just to drive the bloody thing to the garage to get an E-test (money grab) and back to the Ministry to get a sticker. Everyone wants money…. and it’s only bound to get worse.

Your peanut butter balls look a lot like the Buck Eyes I make every holiday season! They look amazing!
Yes that is another name for these… buck eyes. I make reference to them in my blog post which I just posted the recipe! What do you put in yours?
I’ll take a bathtub full of salsa instead of hummus. Thanks for another great list.
Mr.CBB **shaking head** lol… glad to see you like those search terms.. sometimes it can be hard to pick out the best from the week.. Cheers Kim.. have a good one! Mr.CBB
I’m really glad that your near miss on the road was, in fact, a miss rather than a hit. So frightening when that sort of thing happens! Thanks for the great links and for the mention. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the biscuits.
They were great beth… I will post my crockpot pulled pork featuring your biscuit in the upcoming weeks. I will link the recipe back to you of course for the biscuits. They turned out perfect although I had to add a bit more milk.
Your Facebook following is simply amazing Mr. CBB. It’s something I need to work on more. I hope the new year continues to bring a spike in traffic.
I’m working on it and it takes time. I don’t want to be an absent page owner as the fans like the personal touch. Drop in to say hi sometime! Mr.CBB
Glad to hear you two managed to avoid an accident!!! It can be scarey out there. I see drivers run red lights all the time in London, and it’s gotten to the point where I wait a couple of seconds before taking my foot off the brake when the light goes green on my side. I haven’t driven in TO itself but I was in Aurora in June… that was bad enough. Plus there is Hamilton…. don’t know what’s going on there but those drivers are truly scary!!! Back when my in laws were still living, they were in St Catharines and we used to go #6 to the 403 to the QEW and over the Burlington Skyway Bridge……..OMG I had the crap scared out of me on that stretch so many times over the years!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The e-test is only one year???? I thought it was 2?? We don’t have to worry about it until June 2013 for the truck but we’ve never had a problem. Last time the plates came up we got a 2 yr tag for it.
You’re running a contest for the 1st anniversary??? Can you put my name in there please??!!!! Love contests!! Looks like I have a few blogs to check out…fun stuff! The blogs you post are always so interesting! Have a good evening there…..
The E-test lasts 2 years but we can get it done before we put the vehicles away before the second year as it lasts all year. Crap, I hope that made sense. Mrs.CBB warned me about that, to always look all over the shop before proceeding when driving at an intersection. I’m used to roundabouts which they are also putting in and still drivers are rubbish driving in a circle. The roundabouts are simple and easy to maintain and cheaper for the city in the long run IMO, less employees to maintain. Cheers Mr.CBB
I love waking up and checking out your latest picture of “food porn”. Lol.
Us actors live on egg whites and insecurities…
Is that what you call it Food Porn lol… Wait until you see my pulled pork on walnut white cheddar biscuits.. or my coconut balls… ha! We eat healthy all week and splurge a day on the weekends. You gotta live life… egg whites and insecurities… I bet you know the business inside out.. it’s no shock. Cheers Troy! Glad to hear from ya!
Hmmm… pulled pork… keep talking…
I’m so full mate! It was super easy.. put it in the crockpot this morning at 7am with loads of spices, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic and took it out around 3 took off the layer of fat and was left with awesome pork meat… I shredded it and put it back in the pot with some BBQ sauce and man it was awesome… A crock pot can be a mans best friend…
Sounds amazing! I love pulled pork.
Sounds like a super close call!!! Glad nothing happened 😉 I don’t know which I like better between that biscuit sandwich and the peanut butter balls…..both so delicious 😉
Yes, clearly people need to stay focused on the road, you can turn back death. Both the recipes are awesome… I’m posting the peanut butter balls recipe today!!! Cheers mate.
Glad to know that nothing bad happened to you and your wife!
Somebody is always in a hurry and doesn’t care who they hurt! Glad you avoided a collision! I’m still loving the pic of your balls! 😉 lmao
Jen, There is a video going around on Facebook if I can find it I will post it. IT shows real footage of car accidents and it just shakes me up when I watch how stupid drivers can be. Life can be gone in an instant! Yes my balls are nice!
I am glad you managed to avert a collision! That’s not a nice headache at this time of year as everything winds down for the holidays.
I was fine but to tell you the truth I’ve never seen so many horrible drivers in my life since moving here. I don’t know what it is. We were very lucky.. and Mrs.CBB nearly had a panic attack.. she was freaking out.. it all happened so fast. Thanks Mary!
Thanks again for the mention Mr. CBB and those biscuits look delicious. I love some pork and what a way to put it together. I can’t wait to see what you have planned for the face lift. I think it is going to be awesome.
The biscuits are great… I can’t wait to jam them full of pulled pork.. recipe will be up in a couple weeks. I only post 1 recipe per week on a Sunday. I’m excited to see what I have planned as well lol.. Cheers!
