Can't ALWAYS Eat Healthy...

Sometimes you just gotta be bad, ya know?

Pears, poached in a light semi-sweet Red Wine, with Cinnamon. Served with Fat-Free/Sugar-Free Bluebell Vanilla (sprinkled with Cinnamon). Garnished with a grilled Tortilla quarter, sprinkled with Cinnamon and a blend of Sugar & Splenda. Can we START with dessert?

Last night's GrillWorx was a perfect example of that need to stray from healthy eating! I decided that the teenager would enjoy fried catfish after an arduous day of building and programming robots. And so it was. Catfish, fried on the grill. Sprinkled with Cajun seasoning, while still hot from the oil. He was quite thrilled. He LOVES that stuff.


Okay, so it wasn't ALL bad-for-you-food. We had grilled Asparagus spears (my favourite, you know) tossed with about a tablespoon of EVOO, and sprinkled with Sea Salt and fresh ground Pepper (Black, White and Red). And Zucchini medallions, spritzed with EVOO, S&P sprinkled across, and fresh Chopped Garlic... nice big chunks that roasted to a lovely golden brown over the grill. I put the Asparagus directly over the flame, but the Zucchini were on a sheet of foil... just to prevent loss to the hungry grill gods.


And then for dessert... Pears picked from a friend's tree, Poached in a light, semi-sweet Red Wine, with Cinnamon. These, I half or quarter (halved last nite!) and wrap in a foil pouch to keep the Wine and Pear Juices from escaping to become sacrifices to the grill gods! The smell of Pears and Cinnamon poaching on the grill is unmatched as far as I am concerned. Divine.

But that is not all that was on the grill last night... O no!


When you walk out onto my deck and the grill is fired up, the first smell you would typically notice is beef. Rich, decadent beef. Yep. The Canine Companions eat well around my house! Last night, Beef Neckbones, grilled to medium rare perfection for their feasting enjoyment! Yes, I grill for my dogs. But seriously. Look at those faces! How could I NOT grill for them?? ;-}

So what's on the grill for tonight? Stick around and find out! Better yet, stop by! ;-}
