Grilled summer fruit

burgers

now that it's bbq season and the meals are easier, we've taken to making smaller burgers. some call them sliders, but the buns really are a bit bigger to accomodate all the accompaniments. in this case, zucchini relish and salad greens.

a mid-winter barbeque

after tearing off the ceiling tiles in another three rooms, wrestling with a curtain (and mistakenly thinking i could make shirring hooks to fit the existing, old hardware from paper clips), and doing another pile of dishes, it was a relief that dinner was planned, and easy, and delicious.

Grilled Tandoori Vegetables
Cut, in large chunks, an assortment of vegetables (we used broccoli, cauliflower, red pepper, onion, fennel, carrots, and one roma tomato that E snuck in) and a lemon if you have one. Since we had tandoori paste (a bottle i couldn't resist buying within a week after getting back from india), we mixed it with yoghurt and a bit of vegetable oil. You can also easily make your own. Marinade veggies and lemon wedges in sauce all day if you have it.
Make a pot of rice. Barbeque the vegetables and toss with rice.
