Is it summer yet?!

The weather in Seattle has really been getting to me - is it summer yet?!  Last year I did A LOT of barbecuing (and took pictures).  I found a great grilling cookbook, Weber's Charcoal Grilling and tried out a quite a few of the recipes. I'm considering doing my own Julie and Julia project and barbecuing my way through the grill book this summer. Who wants to come over for drinks on the deck with some BBQ?

Barbecuing...in Seattle...in the snow

Need something to do the next time it snows in Seattle? Obviously barbecuing is the best cooking method for freezing cold temperatures, screw the oven!  I tried for about .5 seconds to get the barbecue lit before getting completely frustrated and The Kid took over - look at that skill!


We marinated some chicken using a recipe loosely based on this one from Mark Sisson.

Orange Garlic Chicken Marinade

Ingredients:
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
Directions: Combine all ingredients with chicken in a ziploc bag and let marinate for 3 - 4 hours. Enjoy!
