New Grill!

We finally caved and bought a snappy new grill. The decision was made easier when my folks decided that a new gas grill would be the perfect Christmas gift. So, thanks, Mom and Dad! You've opened up a whole new section of the cookbook for us to experiment!
It's been a great gift so far. I'm actually surprised that we never missed having one before, especially since most anything on the grill tastes DELICIOUS (the exception being veggie dogs - still gross). I finally have a vessel where my skills for preparing food very well-done are appreciated.


The grill also works when we receive an overabundance of our CSA crop-share. When in doubt, we just slice it and grill it, which has been a much more palatable option for all the eggplant, zucchini, and summer squash.

BTW, drop us a line if anyone knows what the white gourd-looking veggie is, below, and whether it is edible or decorative. Otherwise, I suppose we'll find out soon enough, although we'll give TJ the first bite.

So, the last time a I tried a negative comment. It felt good. Now, I will try a positive comment.

That grill looks really spiffy and that CSA selection looks delicious!

Is it kohlrabi?

It turns out that the white gourd is a patty pan squash. See - you can learn something from the MN State Fair!
