Rain or Shine...

Yep, just like the postal carrier, this griller is out there rain or shine. Which actually means it rained this evening! Great news for our draught ridden area! And the warm shower just helped me foster that sense of Hawai'i that I try to squeeze out of my Hooterville deck and back yard! Gabby Pahinui on my MP3 player really helps with that one!

SO tonight's GrillWorx featured nice lean little New York Strip steak, marinated in Shiraz, with EVOO and Montreal Steak Seasoning. A few frozen Onion Rings tossed on a sheet of foil spritzed with non-stick cooking spray and fresh Brussels Sprouts, halved, tossed with EVOO, S&P and a bit of fresh Garlic. The steak, was grilled rare with perfect grill marks (of course!). Truly picture worthy, but taking pix on the grill was out tonite because of the rain!

And then there was dessert in the rain. SO worth it. Listening to Gabby Pahinui... a glass of wine... halving and pitting beautiful fresh cherries. The cherries bathed in Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum 'til it was time to put them on the fire! And then... when it was time... the rum-soaked cherries and the remaining rum and cherry juice went into a foil boat to steam and to allow the rum sauce to reduce. OMG. The smell was heavenly! And then drizzled atop Bluebell Sugar-Free/Reduced Fat Vanilla Ice Cream... seriously better than... well.. better than most everything! LOL!

Ice Cream (FF/SF Bluebell Vanilla) topped with Fresh Cherries,
Bathed in Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum... and heated in a foil boat
to create a reduction of the rum & cherry juice. O yeah. It was YUMMY!
