Mmmmm... Sounds good Wayne. I'm home alone so I'll probably make it simple.
I'll grill a peppered sirloin, grilled veggies and I'll have fresh fruit
for dessert and snacking on later.

Off topic: I've been gone a month and my gardens are in shambles. The SO
tried his best but the heat is winning. Also he thought the cilantro was a
weed and pulled it out I've already been watering since 5am this
