It’s well over 100 degrees today so we didn’t want to heat up the house with stove and oven so the whole dinner got cooked on the Weber.

Product Review: Spicewine Gourmet Blend All Seasoning

I love Tri-Tip Steaks from Costco. They are one of my favorite cuts of meat. I recently received a bottle of Spicewine Gourmet Blend All Seasoning direct from Jay at Spicewine. I figured there wasn’t a better thing to try it out than the Tri-Tips.
