Not for me. BUTTER all the way.

Seriously though, have you tried it?

 

And when you say butter, do you really mean margarine?

Wait a minute. Are these the people that did a resort renovation on one of the Bahama islands?

Yep

We call it Renovation Island

So what is Brian's Island?

 

Edit: I had to check to make sure I wasn't on Bella's thread. I know what happens when I ask questions there.

Same thing, just marketed different

I always thought it would be interesting if they did a follow up to see how the resort is doing.

That’s the series. The resort is soon reopening in the episode, after the first wave of Covid. Hard to not want to go. 
 

They still have work to do.

Seriously (ha). Your favorite word. 

 

I have not tried it unless unknowingly in a restaurant. 

 

I don't mean margarine. I only had margarine when my mother needed to save money with six kids or due to the "alleged" health benefits for a few years.

 

Butter all the way. I love butter. Every day on waffles for breakfast. I run a lot so I eat what I want. 😉

Don't worry about it. It is a 'reality ' TV show about a couple who buys a run down resort an the Bahamas and fixes it up. He is a well known (for Canada) TV contractor and she is a designer. 

 

They both do advertising for Canada's largest bank and I suspect the big bank financed the show . I highly doubt they lost any money due to Hurricanes or Covid. 

 

Sit back and enjoy the "reality".

When it started to rain after dinner Lucy hid under the BBQ cover. 
 

 

The lose string is too much of a temptation.

Depends on the napkin. Cheap ones fall apart, stick to your fingers, and make a mess. Better off waiting. 
 

Can’t disagree with more beer being good, and it’s the only thing to drink with wings. It just won’t get rid of the hot taste well. I’m more of a Duff’s guy (especially the original on Sheridan Drive) than Anchor Bar, but a lot of smaller places have popped up that many people prefer over either. 

My mustache doesn't look good colored orange and you suck your fingers before wiping them with a napkin. For me, drinking beer has nothing to do with cooling down the spicy sauce on the wings.  That's what the blue cheese is for. 😉🍻

Found a better place than anchor, Bar-Bill in a small town called east aurora a few miles from Buffalo, we have been going there for a few years, during a pregame show the Buffalo Bills QB said it was his favorite place, it was really crowded before now it must be worse, but great wings and beef on wick.

I'll have to take your word on that. The last time I was in Western NY was in 1962. Long before Buffalo Wings craze.  😉

Watching the first episode of season three, Island of Bryan.  It so makes me miss the Caribbean. 
 

 

The previous  episodes  were titled Renovation  Island here in US.

Hopefully  it will be broadcast  here soon. I've  been  watching  all Brian's series   since I caught  some episodes  of Disaster  DIY   when I  was  vacationing  in Canada  years  ago. He is very entertaining!

Butter. Kraft Deli Deluxe cheese. And we add thin sliced Oscar Mayer ham lunchmeat to ours. Mayo (any sort of jelly!) sounds a little....unpleasant?

Really good with grape jelly😉

Never heard of grape jelly or Mayo on grilled cheese. Do you put the jelly on top or inside?

I add hot peppers to mine, kicks it up a bit...I’m with Lisa on the ketchup and definitely butter. 

Peppers sound good. If I was to add anything it would be ketchup. I like ketchup on a lot of things. 😀

I worked outside today and Lisa and Owen just hung out at home.  Today was the first day of home schooling for Owen again, as we are into another lockdown until mid-May. I burned two fire piles from spring clean up as the grass in now green and the wind was low. Chance of snow tomorrow night and Wednesday, so I figured I better get at it. 
 

 

 

It always amazes me how fast and how green the grass gets after being under so much snow.

DH was in Syracuse U. during that time and wings were a big thing there.

I can’t believe all this talk about how to make a proper grilled cheese, and no one has mentioned bacon!!  That is the best thing for them.

Sounds like you need to visit it again, love the area food and drink is extremely good and cheap. I never lived there but visited there a lot and got married there 30 years ago, always like view from Niagara Falls.

[ReneeFLL]

I don't think I've really mentioned it on here, but one of my hobbies is orchids. I usually take pictures, but don't post them so I thought I would. This species is dendrobium chrysotoxum. Sorry for the blurry pictures.

Oops, I read your 1962 as 1982 when I commented before about the wings. 🙂

Here are some more that are still in bloom or have been in the past month.

Dendrobium Gatton Sunray

 

 

Dendrobium tenuifolium. Smells like coconut. Plant should have been divided and repotted a while back.

Mayo is just fat. It burns off and makes a golden crust. 

 

It's like covering a roast in yellow mustard before you grill it

Jelly on top, like toast
