Not me!
It rained off and on all day; I’ve had a bad backache. The Boss (Mrs. White) informed me she was not in the mood for grilled meat for a while. I’ve already grilled 15 or 20 times this Spring. Guess she needs to clear her arteries a little.
And thanks to the Vets.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nyyyyhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
whew! they had that straightjacket on pretty tight…
uh oh… they’re coming back!!! oh noooooooo!!!
Ow Ow Ow!
No grilling for me (I don’t even own a grill!), but oddly enough I did mow my lawn. I was… occupied after that. Does going to Burger King count?
Yesterday (Memorial Day) I sliced some boneless, center-cut pork chops about a half-inch thick, rubbed them with coriander, paprika, cracked black pepper, brown sugar, cumin, and salt, grilled them and served them with a sauce of sauteed red onion, chopped tomato and chopped fresh peaches, and cider vinegar. We had tabbouleh and steamed broccoli with lemon on the side.
Right now I’m marinating a flank steak in garlic, adobo chiles, sherry vinegar, cumin, thyme, and black pepper. I’m going to grill it tonight and serve it with a relish of roasted corn, bell peppers, and tomatoes; saffron rice; and a romaine salad.
Both main dishes are from the current issue of COOKING LIGHT magazine, so they’re healthy, on top of tasting good. My wife adores COOKING LIGHT and I grudgingly admit their recipes are often excellent.
STOP IT! STOP IT!!! How much abuse can one man take?!?
It’s bad enough to have my wife constantly after me to fix the damn grill…Persephone has to throw the state laws in my face and Ike’s freely employing epicurean torture tactics. Have you people no decency? 
[sub]Okay, I’ll get the grill fixed…sheesh…[/sub]

mrblue92: It’s okay–you mowed. And since BK flame-broils, that’s close enough.
Ike: You positively suck. 
…and the sliced flank steak was EXQUISITE. I positively sucked the juices right off the platter.
I fixed the grill last night.
25 people are coming for a barbecue on Sunday.
This is my penance.

If you LIKE these 25 people, have your butcher butterfly two legs of lamb for you.
Marinate for at least 24 hours in olive oil, lemon juice, sliced onion and garlic, cracked black pepper, kosher salt, chopped parsley, oregano, and bay leaves. Grill for 10-15 minutes on a side, slice thinly, and serve with Greek bread or pita, feta cheese, tamarasalata, skordalia, etc.
If it’s the in-laws, break out the Oscar Meyer franks.
My wife already did the shopping.
They’re eating dogs and burgers.
That is their penance.
