fourth of july = grilling

to start out, i made sure we had enough propane to make it through the cooking process. needed to learn something from last week's wonderful mis-adventures.


the menu (04july10):

• turkey burgers
• grilled potato wedges
• grilled corn with ancho chili butter
• bruschetta topped with  tomato and basil (and, yes, the bruschetta was grilled... had to keep the theme going)

so full... must take ojp for walk in an attempt to recover...  "walk dad?! did you say walk?!! ok, ok, i'm ready!"




p.s. happy birthday, owlie

to pea, or not to pea

to pea, or not to pea, that was the question:
whether 'tis better in the mind to serve plain
the salt and pepper of small proportions,
or to take a bolder approach against the ease of the microwave
and by nuking end them.  to fry-to keep,
no more; and by keep to say we eat
the heart-ache and the thousand taste buds
that taste is spreading to: 'tis consumption
surely to be happening. to fry, to keep;
to keep, not in this world - ay, there's the spread:


the menu (10may10):

• pea and parmesan spread on bruschetta
• pan-seared parmesan breaded chicken with wilted spinach and lemon-thyme dressing
