Between the onset of Spring and Global Warming the temperatures have been perfect for grilling. Gather up the friends and have a quick munch down get together. No need for weeks of planning or fancy do-dads, just a few phone calls, texts and emails can turn into a Friday Night Delight.
A theme such as Southern BBQ, Texican or Mediterranean can be set or it can be a pleasant free for all. If one or two people take care of the meats the others can fill in with condiments and compliments. No need for assignments as the food always seems to work out just like the old "Stone Soup" tale.
If time is at a premium meats can be marinated overnight and sliced or pounded out thinly for quicker grilling and increased tenderness. Chicken can be par-boiled and finished on the grill. Many salads or sauces can be made the night before. For those who want to stay out of the kitchen there is always a need for beverages. When there is not room to gather at someones home try gathering at a local park.
Get out and enjoy life with a few great friends, some fabulous food and save a Guinness for me.
Quick Grilling Recipes to follow over the next few weeks so keep an eye out for the yummy stuff.
The series of ideas and many of the recipes to follow this post have been inspired by my dear friend Charlotte. She has been the gracious hostess of many a fine chow down. Her generosity has gathered a colorful cast of characters over the years who have inspired both my writing and my palate. Thanks Lady.
