the food sucked
Damn- sometimes life is bad, bad, bad. Tonight, we had salmon,
which was not bad in and of itself and in sufficient quantities, coupled with 3 da*m warmed up, pulpy, flavorless, inedible vegetables: all served in the spirit of dieting, "good for ya', bulls*it". The entire salmon portion I was handed to cook was about 10 ounces for the three of us. Life sucks, and I'm hungry. -- Nonny ELOQUIDIOT (n) A highly educated, sophisticated, and articulate person who has absolutely no clue concerning what they are talking about.

Thanks for the sympathy, Marty. It was a case last night of three people in the kitchen with 3 different ideas of what made a good meal. I normally like salmon and do it voluntarily 3-4 times a month. We serve it with the ginger butter I posted about and it's darn good, "company" food. Last night, it was colder than Billy H*ll here in Las Vegas with winds somewhere in the 40mph range. That means my grill doesn't get really hot for searing and that kind of wind blows the IR emitters out on my other grill. Cooking the salmon last night was arduous, to say the least, and certainly not what I'd hoped for that evening. Oh well, you lose some and you win some. It'd be boring if we only told tales of the good meals, wouldn't it? -- Nonny ELOQUIDIOT (n) A highly educated, sophisticated, and articulate person who has absolutely no clue concerning what they are talking about.

What the hell are you doing dieting? :-) Even _I_ am not making that mistake this year altho' I am on a maintenance calorie count so I don't gain any weight back. That did not keep me from having some of those divine truffles at work tho', nor one of Wendy's peanut butter balls... Portion control my friend. <g> -- Peace!

I was a victim in my own house last night. TONIGHT, however, it was wings. . . . and darn good ones, so that mitigates my suffering a good deal. <grin> -- Nonny ELOQUIDIOT (n) A highly educated, sophisticated, and articulate person who has absolutely no clue concerning what they are talking about.

There isn't much said about wind interfering with grilling, but I'm sure many of us have experienced it. I know I like to brag about my el cheapo grill being hot enough to adequately sear a steak, but that's if the wind is not blowing very hard. Even the little charcoal "Sportsman" grill falls short if there's much wind even when I build a steel melting fire in it. I resort to the CI grill pan when it's windy and I can't forego a good steak. My range vent is barely adequate and often times I set off the smoke alarms. -- Brick said that |

totally relate. as for the vegetables, the misto filled with olive oil can
correct some of that, you spray them then grill or roast as usual, the oil sprayed on is less to start but it still holds enough spices to make them worth eating.
