My steak dinner

I have always used a Napoleon bbq.
The first Napoleon was about Cdn $800, but I was one of 8 winners from the St. Lawrence Market, some 20 years ago.
Then I bought a natural gas Napoleon bbq, and I had a guy install pipes from the gas meter to the backyard. This is all stainless steel, with a side sear for steaks.
I bbq salmon fillets and steaks all year round except when it is below minus 10C.
We eat salmon on Saturday and Monday.
During the past few months, I have been buying organic salmon.
I usually buy Sterling Silver AAA boneless striploin steaks from Sobeys, used to be $10 a pound on sale , but recently, since COVID 19, about $13 on sale.
Almost never buy at regular price, about $28 to $20 a pound.
Or I will buy AAA certified Angus striploin steaks from Longos at $10 to $12 a pound on sale but recently about $13 to $14.
Sometimes, I will buy AAA boneless rib eye steaks or rib steaks, or veal chops (like T bone steaks).
I have seen that brand. Napoleon.

Actually what's the difference between all these brands?

I was also thinking of Broil King.

Napoleon is very reliable, can be 600 degrees or hotter.
About $1,200.
A few years ago, I bought it at the Home Show, and I negotiated for free delivery, including HST, and a set of SS bbq tools.
One of my buddies bought a very high end, super hot bbq, made in USA.
 
My wife and I flew to Melbourne in 2004 to recce and also for me to have job interviews at a few clinics.

We had a holiday in Perth before that and liked it. On our way back from the airport to our flat the taxi driver was telling us how his daughter migrated to Australia. I opened my mailbox and say this ad in the SMA newsletter advertising for GPs to relocate to Australia. So I contacted them and they set me up with a couple of interviews. Mornington, Frankston, Geelong and Hastings.

I got 2 offers. One in Mornington and another in Frankston. I accepted the Mornington one.

They tried to submit an application for a licence to the Victoria State Medical Board. But the board at that time had a fall out due to Dr Patel aka Dr Death case so they froze everything. And in the end they couldnt give me an answer for 3 months. So we decided to just cancel the plans.

Problem with Australia is they would let foreign doctors practice in Oz in certain higher need areas. We thought maybe very ulu and rural. But as you should know Mornington Frankston are not ulu places. Mornington close to the sea.

But Oz would not give foreign doctors PR unless they had equivalent qualifications eg FRACGP. So the foreign doctors would take the AMC exam then the FRACGP exams. After they got it all they can apply for PR.

In the meantime they would have to pay foreigner tax rates which is high. Work permit is what I would be under.

Oz is of course nearer to SG and the weather is less harsh (cold wise).

But migration was our aim. So we decided better to take the PR from Canada. So what if cannot practice medicine? Change careers. Whereas with Oz go there work.....but later maybe have to go back to Sg. Heard stories of how they purposely fail doctors at exams to force them to remain as work permit holders.

I did meet up with a SBF bro in Melbourne. From Delphi Bomchekchek. Wonder if he is still around?

There were some other people I emailed as well. We were quite close to moving to Oz. But it wasnt to be.

i believe it is fated bro. at the bright side it is far far better then singapore bro :)
 
i got this from my facebook photos 24 fresh oyster i ate all by myself!! :)
*take note this is not sydney oyster :)

The marbling is one main factor that determines whether or not it is AAA.
Certified Angus AAA is better.
In Toronto Sobeya sells Sterling Silver which is the top tier of the AAA.
The store should label it, or if you buy from a butcher, ask the butcher.
