"Bring fire into the equation and suddenly men are interested in cooking," says Mac Voisin, president and founder of M & M Meat Shops, a popular destination destination spot for barbecuers, retailing over 100 barbecue barbecue items. Everyone has their own special barbecuing technique...but technique...but even a pro can use some pointers now and then. Here arc some tried and true barbecue strategies, courtesy of M & M Meat Shops. Sticking and Handling • Brushing the grill lightly with cooking oil or salad oil should reduce or eliminate the meat sticking sticking on the surface. • Turn meat with tongs. Using a fork pierces the food, releasing the juices and drying it out. Close that Lid • Always cook with the lid of the barbecue closed. The temperature will remain consistent, the food will cook faster, the barbecue will use less gas and the flavour will be smokier. Steaming Veggies On the Grill • Wrap vegetables in aluminium foil and top them with butter and seasoning. seasoning. Add a few ice cubes inside the packet; as the packet heats, the cubes melt and the vegetables steam beautifully. Best Basting • Brush on sauces that are tomato, sugar or honey-based only during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. This avoids scorching the food. Oil- and butter-based sauces can be applied throughout the cooking. • If you don't want the smoked flavour of your chicken or turkey to be too intense, baste the meat frequently frequently with water to keep the moisture on the outside. outside. Smoke can't penetrate penetrate water. • Salt the meat after grilling so you don't draw out the juices and toughen the food. Wood and Rocks • The wood of fTuit trees, such as apple and cherry, arc great for grilling, adding a delicate Favour to the food. • To clean your lava rocks of grease, you can either soak them in a pail of soap and hot water, or turn the greasy side toward the burners and put the unit on high for 15-20 minutes, BREAST FEEDING SUPPORT SUPPORT GROUP -- New mothers arc invited to attend a Breast Feeding Support Group, Monday afternoons from I- 3 p.m. at Memorial Hospital Bowmanvillc, 47 Liberty St. South, The group meets in the staff room on (lie Obstetrics Floor, 2nd Floor, South Wing.

This article is provided by local Realtors and the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) for the benefit of consumers in the real estate market. Residential flooring generally generally comes in four basic types of materials. What is referred to as "resilient" flooring includes all types of tile and sheet vinyls. Ceramic, hardwood products and carpeting arc the other three flooring choices. Vinyl tiles These arc available in different different grades and offer a wide selection of decorative patterns patterns and colors. Frequently, they arc embossed to make them even more resistant to wear and tear and to improve their appearance. For the do- it-yourselfer, the major advantage is the convenient size, the self-stick backing that many come with and the reasonable price. Even a novice can do a good job of laying these tiles. Sheet vinyls Because they have to be cut to fit the floor shape and size ahead of time, sheet vinyls can be more difficult to work with. They also come in a wide variety of colors, patterns patterns and grades at reasonable cost. The "inlaid" types, in which the color and pattern extend through the thickness of the material, offer a longer life in heavy traffic areas. Ceramic tiles These arc considered a permanent flooring, good for life of the room, if they are properly installed. The thicker thicker tiles arc designed especially especially for floors, while the thinner ones arc intended for wall-use only. Ceramic tiles conic in a variety of shapes, patterns, sizes and colors. They arc more expensive but longer- lasting than vinyl floor coverings. coverings. These tiles can be installed over a smooth, dry concrete or acceptable wood- product sub-floor, but never over tongue-and-groovc hardwood. hardwood. They arc installed with a special grout mixture and require special attention and care during installation. Hardwood products Like ceramic tiles, hardwood hardwood flooring products arc especially popular in today's residential housing market. Hardwood products can be used in any room, but extreme care should be taken when installing them in kitchens, bathrooms or over concrete floors. Hardwood floors expand when wet and can buckle. Unless specially treated, they arc not recommended recommended for high-moisture areas. Because of their popularity, popularity, some hardwood flooring manufacturers have come up with products that can be installed easily by do-it-your- selfcrs. Parquet flooring, for instance, conics in a variety of designs and colors that can give a room the warmth and depth of real wood. It is reasonably reasonably priced, comes in tile form, is simple to install and has an casy-carc finish. Carpeting Carpeting comes in a variety variety of styles, textures and materials. The most common styles are level loops, also known as indoor/outdoor carpeting, carpeting, multi-level loops and cut piles. Level loops arc often installed in kitchens, basements and other high- traffic areas because they arc easier to clean than carpels with higher pile. Multi-level loops offer a compromise between level loops and cut pile carpets. They arc still relatively relatively easy to clean and can be quite attractive. Most elegant elegant arc cut pile carpets. These can be very plush, but arc also more difficult to keep clean. Most carpets are made of nylon fibres. Nylon is considered considered the strongest, most stain- rcsrstanl and least expensive to manufacture. But it has some disadvantages: It is difficult difficult to clean once stained and can generate a lot of static static electricity. To reduce static, often other synthetic fibres arc combined with the nylon. Wool carpels are probably the oldest and the finest of all carpets. carpets. That's why they're also the most expensive. Many retailers no longer carry wool carpeting or provide it only on a special-order basis. Carpets can be installed over any good flooring except other carpeting. Leaving an old carpet and using it as padding under a new one is not recommended. Old carpets carpets always have dirt embedded embedded in the backing, which can work itself up into the new carpeting. Urethane foam padding has generally replaced the old hair-jute pad and rubber waffle padding. It's easier and cheaper to use for both do-it-yourselfers and professionals. In addition, it's also lighter, longer-lasting and comes in various thicknesses. thicknesses. Before choosing Before making any flooring flooring decisions, think about the traffic patterns, the size of your family and the wear and tear expected. There's no point installing light, plush carpeting in an area that will be heavily soiled. If you arc installing the floor yourself, be sure to measure measure each room carefully. A flooring store representative can help you estimate the amount you'll need and offer other advice. If you are having a floor professionally installed, ensure the retailer sends an estimator to your home ahead of time to take accurate measurements. measurements.
