Grill Bits -
It's been a lovely day in Albuquerque. A perfect, rather mild summer day. Breezes blowing through the trees. Just the kind of day that makes you want to grill something. So I lit up a fire in my little grill. Apparently, the idea was contagious because within a half hour there were at least six other residents of this complex lighting fires in their own grills. Smoke was everywhere.
Kids were out on the lawn running with puppies and tossing a football. Grown-ups were waving spatulas at each other and grinning across from their vantage points behind various sizzling meats.
It's an illness. I know it has to be. There's just something about hot coals that makes me ... well, a little crazy. I just can't stand to only cook a little bit. Once the coals are hot and ready, I want to grill everything I can get my hands on.
Tonight, I was JUST gonna grill up some burgers. Something simple, you know?
But when the coals got hot I started thinking ... Don't I have some chicken in there? Or something?
I grilled burgers, hot dogs, the buns for the aforementioned, mahi mahi fillets, chicken breasts, and some zucchini that had the misfortune to catch my eye. I won't have to cook anything for a week.
Life is good.

Mahi mahi fillets and some zucchini ... life IS good!
That restaurant looks like a real hoot.
Wow you get inspired to cook and you do it up right. Me too. Only cook on my days off. smile, Lady of Avalon and I are going to start a blogring for those on Xanga who have a website or would like to have a website to sell their books or whatever they sell. We also hoping we get some support for our business. We can link to one another and just generally help one another out. What do you think? Judi
Who? Who? Who.....thought of the idea for that restaurant? I bet driving by that place would make me turn my head around almost all the way around!
Gosh...you almost had me out there grilling and it's 7:42 a.m.! Grilling reminds me of when Brother was little and we lived in Sourthern California. He loved the smell of the grill and whenever he smelled it his toddler self would say, "I smell barberdoo." (barbecue) We still say that....and this blog made me smell barberdoo!
It all sounds so good. Blessings
And you can grill all year 'round!
perfect...cook once for the entire week!!
You are so efficient! Also frugal because you are not wasting the coals.....
*shaking head and laughing*
I do understand this illness! I always cook WAY too much on the grill!
Know you are not alone!
My weekend grilling always results in a bulging freezer - once winter hits, we can eat 'que till spring.
