2008's first Firing of the Grill
I grilled sweet potatoes, white potatoes, green peppers, mushrooms,
and a pablano pepper directly on the grates- no foil, pans, etc, as is the usual method. I tossed them w/ olive oil, S&P, garlic and onion powder. They then went directly on the grates, over high heat- I turned them frequently, until moving them to indirect heat, at which time I grilled the chuck eye steaks- something I've recently discovered. They are only $4.09 per pound at the local grocery store. Wow- if tonight is any indication, 2008 is looking good, grilling wise, anyways! For some reason, my wife thought that the veggies would be gross (Who said that females are the smarter sex?!- Hey- it's really because they have what us men want; a good back rub, right?) If you haven't tried the chuck eye steaks, I'd highly recommend them. Make sure the label says chuck EYE steaks- not mock tender, not spencer chuck, etc, but eye! Enjoy- and here's to a great 2008 of grilling great!

Enjoy- and here's to a great 2008 of grilling great! We too love Chuck eyes, but they are harder and more expensive to find these days. Another cut we love is skirt steak. We marinate it in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, some chili powder and Gravy Master(not Kitchen Bouquet, too salty) for about 6 - 7 hours then grill like any steak.just put it in a ziplok mix the ingredients then add the steaks coating all sides.Grill like any good steak. WE had this in a place in Cape May NJ and they called it Black Diamond Steak. It took me a long time to discover what the 'black' was, that left the inside still pink when cooked. Enjoy, this is one of our all time favorites. Need to go to butcher and get some, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!! Nan in DE

However, skirt steak is considerably more per pound than chuck eye steaks in this neck o' the woods. Unfortunately, the $4.09 per pound was a sale price- the regular price is $4.99 per pound- still cheaper than skirt steak, but not by much. Now that chuck eye isn't on sale, and I refuse to pay $5 per pound, I am going to try your skirt steak recipe. I have some Angus skirt steak in the freezer, and have been wondering what to do with it. Thanks for the recipe- I'm anxious to try it! Of course, I'll wait until this damn weather breaks. We had a record-setting February- 22"-23" of snow- more than any February on record. Enter March- hey- it's gotta get better, right?! WRONG- Tuesday night we had an ice storm that knocked out power for 2 days with app. 1/2" of ice, and sent us to a hotel for one night. Now, just a couple days later, we're getting yet another storm- this time up to 1/4" of ice, and 10"-15" of snow! Will it ever end?!

As if the weather hasn't been bizarre enough- now we're getting thunder and lightning, as the snow comes down at the rate of at least an inch per hour, causing a white out!

Wow, that is nasty weather. Where are you? We've had thunder and lightening a few times with snow but we usually don't get that either. Our dau is in NH and she says the mailboxes at the end of the driveways are all covered, and the drifts from the snowplows are 5-6' high, the snow is up to her deck, over 3'. Even the black lab is having a hard time with it. We never had our good snowstorm this year, just piddly snows, and that is ok with us. Dau says she wants to be a bear and hibernate til it is all over. Skirt steaks are usually $3.99/pound here at the butchers. We're overdue to fix some, that and pulled pork. Happy Grillin n BBQn, Nan in DE

Happy Grillin n BBQn, Nan in DE KC = 9 degrees last night. 18 now. 50s by Monday. That is no guarantee of spring in the air, we had sixties about a week ago. Next up could be anything from blizzard to flood to hard freeze to tropics. Forecasted severe weather has a tendency not to happen. Moderate storm forecasts tend to yield severe weather without warning. A local meteorologist famously went on the air one day saying that morning he had shoveled about 6 inches of partly cloudy off his sidewalk. We have a saying... if you don't like the kind of weather we have here, just wait, it will change. Keeps us outdoor cooker types on our toes. MartyB in KC

Happy Grillin n BBQn, Nan in DE Not sure where Jim is, but right now most of eastern Ontario is getting the storm of the season. We've already had about 20 cm (roughly 8 inches), and they are forecasting another 20 tonight. We have also had freezing ice pellets, gusting winds, and thunder. There is about three feet of accumulated snow on the deck between the door and the grill. MargW in Prince Edward County on the north shore of Lake Ontario

2008's first Firing of the Grill
FWIW, I sat out on the swing some this afternoon, but there was a little
breeze and it disturbed the newspaper. The sun was bright and warm. I considered going in to put on shorts, but stayed with my jeans and polo shirt. How I suffer. Bwahahahahahah -- Nonny Nonnymus A penny saved is obviously a government oversight.
