Ho hum

Been some boring weekends lately. We had a block party over the weekend with a great turnout and fantastic weather. Met some new neighbors with young kids, always a welcome addition to the block, as well as some neighbors I've been waving hi to for over five years and never actually met. To keep it simple, we did another batch of chicken drumsticks marinated in Goya's mojo sauce - it's darn near impossible to make that go wrong. Wife spent way too much time making cookies and things. I'll stick to the stuff that requires fire.

I actually have the next couple of weekends off, for now at least, so I want to plan another good day of Q soon... I just need to figure out what to make and who to invite. I think I need to try some pork shoulder, and I'd like another round of grilled pizza. But, it's going to start getting cooler here, and cold soon enough, so beyond a few weeks I'll probably have to just stick with grilling instead of barbecuing.

Still, there are worse things than perfecting some steak recipes over the winter.
