Indoor Cooking Season

Tonight we had hamburgers for supper. these hamburgers were baked indoors in the oven, and not on the barbecue. I guess this is a sign that barbecue season has officially come to an end, and all cooking will be done indoors now until next spring. I suppose the burgers could have been cooked on the barbecue, as we do not have any snow yet, but it was cold, and rainy at times today, and not very nice weather for barbecuing. I do like barbecued hamburgers a bit better than baked. I find they have a bit more flavor and texture and seem a bit moister. And they just have that "grilled" taste, you know? Oh well, I will just have to put up with indoor cooking methods such as baking, broiling, frying, and steaming for the next few months. That isn't a terrible thing, as it's not like we have barbecue everyday in the summer, and now we can enjoy many warm comfort foods that cannot be cooked on the barbecue anyway and are too hot and heavy to enjoy in the summer months. We did bake some salmon the other week, and although we usually grill it on maple planks on the barbecue, it tasted very well just coming from the oven as well.
