There's nothing like an August barbecue. Corn and tomatoes for grilling are in full harvest and there/s still the urge for hamburgers and hot dogs. There's stil time to fire up the grill.
I feel this way thanks to my new grill.
This is the Expert Grill bought on sale today from one of my local Wal-Marts. It was orginally $107 and was on sale for $90. A true bargain. It can grill up to twenty (!!!) burgers on it, perfect for when I have to cook both plant based and meat patties.It also has a cool warming rack perfect for when there are batches of burgers and dogs.Another plus is the serving table with three hooks for barbecuing utensils and a thermometer to let me know the heat of the coals. A fun extra is the bottle opener, perfect for root beer (and maybe a few Coronas). However the best feature is the slide out ash pan for quicker cleaning. I LOVE this grill!!!!What to make onit? Well, the usual Impossible Burgers and Field vegan hot dogs. I also want to try grilling veggies, like tomatoes, onions and bell peppers. Even though I can't eat corn myself the idea of grilling up Mexican street corn or elotes, slathered with crema sauce and sprinkled with Cotija cheese. I may experiment with making a grilled tomato sauce and savoring its' smoky taste. Then there are the fruits.I love grilled pineapple rings with butter and brown sugar. These make the perfect summer dessert.Peaches are something Im eager to grill along with bananas. Bananas foster will be even better with them grilled. You can also grill figs and melons along with avocados but I think I'll hold off on them. Should there be s'mores.Maybe but melted and charred marshnallow a day later is a pain to clean. I may get grilling pans, now probably on sale. I can place marshmallows along with produce on these and then just soak in the sink to clean like any other pan.
Happiness is a new grill, especially the Expert Grill. There's still hot weather. There's still time for a good barbecue with yummy foods.
