i dare say April showers bring May…mud. OK, yes, flowers, but also mud. And I’m happy to see both. While colourful blooms can brighten anyone’s day, a clear patch of damp dirt was a game pad for pre-internet kids. If you had a stick, some stones and a patch of soft earth, you and your friends had a game plan. May was often the first month, at least in central Newfoundland where I grew up, when you could get your bike out and make new tire tracks on dirt roads. (Right now my memory is recalling the tacky sound of tires rolling over fresh mud.) And because we had few paved roads, driveways and parking lots for drawing on with chaulk, we marked out our games in the dirt using sticks. Compacted mud was excellent for drawing out a hopscotch grid, or creating a world and border countries for a game of War. I have so many fond memories of playing these games in the spring sunshine, feeling the lightness of my sneakers and my satin spring jacket (remember those, children of the ’80s?). By May, school studies were winding down and we were looking forward to sports days, end-of-year picnics and a summer vacation that was so close you could smell it. I still get that way when May rolls around. I’m already making plans for summer excursions around the bay, getting my bike ready for its first spin and drawing out planting lines in the dirt. Some things just never get old. What are your fondest memories of this time of year? We’re always looking for readers’ Downhome Memories to share. Send me yours. Thanks for reading,

downhome recipes
Mmmmm-May 24 If you haven’t already, May 24 long weekend is the time to bring the BBQ out of storage and fire it up. You could even throw a backyard party to celebrate, and the following recipes could be your menu.
Corn with Pesto Butter 6 ears of fresh corn 2 tbsp pesto 1 cup butter
1 tbsp parsley, chopped 1/2 tsp chili flakes 1 tsp lemon juice
Preheat the BBQ. Mix everything except the corn together. Wrap each ear of corn in a piece of aluminum foil and place it on the grill to cook, turning it over about every five minutes so that it cooks evenly. After about 15 minutes, check the corn. If it’s starting to get some colour, unwrap it and spread about a tablespoon of pesto butter on the ear. Wrap it back up and return it to the grill for another 5 minutes. Remove it from the foil and serve hot, with more pesto butter if desired. Yield: 6 servings.

Bacon-wrapped Asparagus 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed 1 tbsp vegetable oil 6 slices bacon
Lightly grease the grill and preheat it to medium heat. Toss asparagus with oil, making sure each spear is evenly coated. Gathering 3-4 spears at a time, wrap each bundle in a strip of bacon. Grill asparagus 3-4 minutes per side, until bacon is crispy. Serve hot. Makes 6 servings.

Grilled Pizza Dough (enough for 2 x 12" pizzas)
Toppings
1 1/3 cups warm water 1 pkg instant yeast 1 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt 3 1/2 cups flour
2 tbsp pizza sauce Pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, chicken, spinach etc. – whatever toppings you like on pizza Shredded cheese
Preheat grill with burners on high. Grease the bottom and sides of a cast iron skillet, and sprinkle the bottom with a dusting of flour. In a bowl, whisk together water, yeast and sugar. Cover and let rest for five minutes. Using a wooden spoon or a mixer with a paddle attachment, mix in the olive oil, salt and flour. When fully combined, transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Use floured hands to knead the dough a few times, just until it is soft and stretchy. Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 60-90 minutes, until dough has doubled in size. Using half the dough, stretch it over the bottom of the prepared skillet and up the sides a bit. (Wrap the other half of dough in plastic wrap and freeze for another time.) Thinly spread the tomato sauce over the dough. Cover with your favourite toppings. Place pan on the grill and close the lid. Pizza should be done in about 10 minutes. (Cooking time will depend on BBQ heat, and if you cook it over indirect heat it will take longer. Use a spatula to lift the crust edge to test doneness – the bottom should be crispy.) When done, use a spatula to slide the pizza out of the pan and onto a board or plate. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Makes one 12" pizza.

Fruit Spears 6 cups of various fresh fruit cut into 1” chunks Coconut oil spray 1 tbsp maple syrup Vanilla Greek yogurt for dipping
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Preheat grill. Thread 5-6 pieces of fruit on each skewer. Coat with a light spritz of coconut oil and brush on a light coating of maple syrup. Sear the fruit spears on the hot grill for 2-3 minutes per side to get those nice grill marks and to caramelize the syrup and the fruit sugars. Serve hot with yogurt for dipping. (You could also turn this into a dessert bar, with extra toppings: granola, tiny M&Ms, ground nuts etc.) Makes about 6 skewers.

Honey Chicken Kebabs Marinade 1/3 cup honey 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes 6 skewers
Whisk together honey, soy sauce, oil and pepper. Set aside and refrigerate 1/4 cup of the marinade – you’ll use this to baste the chicken while grilling. Pour the rest of the marinade into a resealable plastic bag with the chicken. Move the chicken pieces around in the bag to make sure everything is coated well, then let it marinate in the fridge for two hours or overnight. Before grilling, soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes. Lightly oil the grill and preheat it on high. Thread chicken pieces onto the presoaked skewers. Discard the marinade the chicken was in. Place kebabs on the prepared grill. Turn chicken often as it cooks, and brush it with the reserved marinade (the portion that was not mixed with raw chicken). Grill it until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes (internal temperature of the chicken must reach 165°F). Makes 6 kebabs.
