Reasonably So

The ice cream is Peach Cobbler. Diced canned peaches and shortbread cookie chunks in a sweet cream base (with a little bit of the syrup from the can). It’s also just supposed to whet your appetite for more to come. My hard drive died, so my computer was on vacation for a few days. This means good and bad news.

The good news is I have twice as big a hard drive than I did before.

The bad news is I’m a little behind in blog posts. This is also a busy week, but I’ve got lots of ideas rolling around, so stay tuned.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am practicing my grilling skills as often as possible. Why?

1) It’s summertime. Grilling season!

2) WHY NOT?

Last night’s grilling adventures involved a re-do of the Basil Mint Lemon marinade I used for the Father’s Day swordfish. As I mentioned in that entry, I wanted to try putting all the sauce ingredients in the food processor. So I did, and it worked out beautifully! I changed things around a little bit… First and foremost, I used chicken (marinaded in the pesto-like sauce for about an hour and a half). For the sauce itself, I added salt (to taste), pepper (to taste), and sugar (1 tsp.) to the mint/basil/lemon juice/olive oil combo. Delicious!

MMM! For the 4th, I took another spin at grilled pizza. This time, I had a helpful assistant to help take some pictures while we prepped and cooked. We accompanied the pizza with grilled asparagus and corn. Another lousy meal…. HA. Yeah right. Hopefully the following pictures will help you in your own grilled pizza making adventures.

This one is for my momma, especially. She loves window pictures–something about the frame being inside the picture is very appealing to her. I liked this little window very much.

This is the first of two posts about making things.

It’s cold in Boston, kids. Bundle up.
