Last nite was spent with great friends, so GrillWorx went On The Road!

| Vanessa's Chocolate Covered Cherry Cupcakes... Mmmmm! I want Dessert first! |

| Portabella Caps and Salmon on Cedar! |
Lots of people, and a small grilling surface meant that dinner would be prepared in shifts! We started with a little Amuse Bouche, Portabella Caps, stuffed with Cheddar Cheese and fresh sliced Jalapenos. When the Cheese was all melty (yes, "melty" is an official culinary technical term!), we sliced these up so that everyone could have a taste. ('cept for me... I don't care for mushrooms!)
Also, a couple of lovely Salmon Fillets, seasoned with Dill and Lemon, and grilled on Cedar Planks to enhance their flavour. I soaked the cedar planks so that they would not burn, and spritzed a little EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) on the fillets so that they would not stick to the Cedar. Then drizzled the top with freshly squeezed Lemon juice and dusted them with Dill. (Did I mention that I do not care for fish?)

| Spicy Boudain and Salmon on Cedar |
The Teenager loves Boudain, so I brought plenty of that for him and his friends. If you're not familiar, Boudain is a Cajun pork sausage with rice and plenty of Cajun spices. (This is another delicacy that I do not care for! But it seems like I am in a minority...everyone that likes spicy seems to like Boudain!)
 |
| Brussels Sprouts, Petite Sirloins, Brats |
Petite Sirloin Steaks, marinated in Dry Red Wine, with EVOO, S&P, Garlic and other Seasonings were grilled for people like me that don't like Mushrooms, Salmon and Boudain! And Robert brought Cheddar Bratwursts.

| Brussels Sprouts steamed on the Grill |
The Veggie du jour: Brussels Sprouts, halved, tossed in about a tablespoon of EVOO, and sprinkled with S&P, steamed on the grill in foil pouches. To faciliate creating these foil pouches for steaming veggies, I use ice cubes rather than water... that way you don't have water pouring out of the foil! As I don't care Brussels Sprouts, Shane, Lonnie, Sara and David served as official tasters for doneness!
Mike slow-smoked chickens, and Ashleigh created Baked Beans and a lovely Potato Salad. Sara and David brought what they called Mystery Meat (which turned out to be lovely Pork Spare Ribs, marinated in a tangy Barbecue Sauce.
And then... Dessert.

Lonnie here. I can't figure out how to log into this without creating my own blog, which I don't feel like doing right now. So I'm "anonymous." So shh! You're not supposed to know it's me. :-)
As expected, everything was delicious. Thanks for all your hard work. If anyone doubts you slaved over a hot grill, I saw the flames as proof!
Cooking all that stuff you don't like begs the question: what did you eat? Wine alone doesn't count.
Changed some things on the settings... maybe it'll be easier to post comments! We'll see!
