Adventures in Grilling

I've talked about it before, but one of our favorite things to do is cook meat on the grill. Although we don't let cold or even snow stop us, the relative easy breeziness of summer means an increase in grilling frequency.

With the Dinnerman out of town a couple of weeks ago, my attention turned to seafood. I grilled a lot of salmon in particular, because he won't eat it. (It's a long story and has something to do with an ex-wife who forced it down his throat...but that was in another life.)

With his return this past week, the carnivore in me stepped forward once again. It was back to steak and chicken, baby.

Here is a picture of some chicken I threw on the barbie:

It's marinated very simply in chopped fresh garlic, fresh basil, fresh lime juice, curry powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, olive oil, and salt. I just throw all of that in a ziploc bag and let it sit all day. It couldn't be easier.

We ate it that night with a salad, and then we ate the leftovers for lunch for several days. (I had grilled a lot of chicken, and Kenny didn't want any, so there were a lot of leftovers.)

Other than that, there's not much new in Steph Land. We went to a great party yesterday in honor of summer's arrival where we indulged in some delicious homemade creamy (and strong!) melon liquer, among other things. Then we came home, forgot all about our plans to go to Waterfire, watched Michael Symon compete on Iron Chef, and talked once again about how much we want to get back to Cleveland soon. So much to eat, so little time!
