"London Broil Beef Pasties a Denver Firefighters favorite"

My Grandfather was a Denver Fireman for almost 30 years before he retired in 1974. My grandfather taught me how to cook. I remembered growing up, riding my bike to the firehouse to see my grandfather, smelling all of the wonderful aromas coming out of the kitchen. As any one knows Firefighters are great cooks. My grandfather and grandmother raised all three of us girls the summers were full of Firefighters Conventions, Fireman Family Pot Luck Picnics and Barbeque's, my grandfather would do all of the cooking all of the cooking and I was right there helping and underfoot. I could not wait still summer when the Barbecue was cleaned up ready to go, we had wonderful new flavors and dishes like fresh rainbow trout,salmon, chicken, pork roast, hamburgers, brats, hot-dogs and new barbecue sauces.

I am old enough to remember that outdoor grill cooking did not take off until the late 50s and 60s. So if your thinking Barbecue has been around forever it hasn't only if you younger than 50. My grandfather friends were all firemen and they were your extended family. Even to this day I remember all of the station numbers 18,23,25 and 28's. The holidays were the best, it was reason to cook, celebrate, laugh and tell stories.

So,being it is, Jan. 2007 and a very cold out. Here is a favorite warm dish for winter and a having a toasty warm kitchen to cook in.

I will sharing memories with each my recipes.
Enjoy!

My Grandfather would make these Pasties at home and bake them and freeze them for later. Yummy!
