Grills Rule, Boys Drool

IMG_0221

[Boy drools over tasty beer, that is]

IMG_0220

And grills rule because dinner cooks fast and there are very few dishes to do!

IMG_0222

While he grilled, she promenaded the garden

IMG_0226

Our new potted plants are all framing the deck nicely!

IMG_0225

On the menu tonight was some Organic Butcher herby chicken

IMG_0233

Plus grilled local asparagus seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika

IMG_0228

And Dakota drizzled in olive oil before grilling. The flavor was incredible!

IMG_0232

IMG_0227

Afternoon snacks today included a small jar of trail mix while I was out running errands. And some strawberries eaten straight from the fridge!

Hoping to wine wind down with my book! Ahab’s Wife is taking me forever to get through, but I’m still really enjoying the story.

    Hey Kath,

    The asparagus and Dakota bread look delicious.

    When you make overnight oats with banana and strawberries do you put the two in the mix the night before (does it get mushy?) or in the morning as a topping?

    Thanks 🙂

    • KathEats says

      May 8, 2012 at 5:57 am

      The night before because I like them to mush in, but you could certainly add then in the am

      Yes. Although easy on the char (which I think is the best part). Herbs help to counter balance it.

        Why is the char bad? I’ve heard people say that before, but I always thought it was an old wives tale. Carcinogen?

          Yes, potential carcinogen. Although people have been cooking over open fires for …..AGES! I think a little is OK, but those black marshmallows I love so much…

    I’ve been wondering if you had any book recommendations. After the Hunger Games I have been having a hard time really getting into anything. I am still reading, but I’m looking for that book I can’t put down. My daughter and I did read quite a view Shel Silverstein poems last night.

      THG was the best book I’ve read this year….so that’s not saying much! I’m a slow reader (it’s so hard for me to sit down and focus during the day and i fall asleep at night!), so I don’t have any good recommendations at this time (but I have a stack of books 10 thick on my nightstand waiting in line!). Check Eatliverun.com – she’s a huge reader and has a recommended list of her favorite books.

        Thanks for the response Kath. I’m the exact same way, I have a hard time allowing myself time to sit down and read during the day and then I fall asleep trying to read at bedtime. I have seen some of her recommendations so I will head back to Eat LIve Run. I finished a Sophie Kinsella/Madeleine Wickam book and Tina Fey’s Bossypants, and A Secret Kept by Tatiana De Rosnay that wrote Sarah’s Key. I just picked up How to Pick a Peach and The Taste of Tomorrow, have you read either of those? BTW, have been attempting to continue to organize my kids’ photo albums and baby books and was looking at birth/baby pictures last night which made me think of you. Keep enjoying your pregnancy and thanks as always for sharing with us. My son is headed to kindergarten in the fall, the time goes so quickly!

          I can’t believe I feel this way, but I’m enjoying the Steve Jobs biography almost as much as I loved the Hunger Games trilogy! Fascinating guy and the history of computing is really interesting. If you’re into nonfiction, I’d recommend it. 🙂 Also, I can’t wait until that garden is yielding! I didn’t have time to start seedlings this year, but I bought some lettuce, arugula, spinach, and kale which are all doing well. My mint, oregano, tarragon, rosemary, and strawberries all came back with a bang this year 🙂

            If you are in Hunger Games withdrawal, read “Divergent” by Veronica Roth. It has many Hunger Games-ian features – YA novel, dystopian futuristic society, 16 year old female heroine, action/adventure…. It’s awesome! I read it in two days. And Book 2 in the trilogy (“Insurgent”) JUST came out so you already have your next booked lined up to read. 🙂

            Also, this is a fun link to check out:

    I am dying to get my hands on one of the GH loafs here in Chicago! They always look delish and I can’t ever get enough of good doughy, crusty, fresh made bread! I noticed one near my parents home in the Northshore Boston area, but have never seen one prior to or since. I just looked up a location near me (although I’m moving in 2 weeks) and it looks like there’s one 4 miles up the road in Evanston, IL. I may have to mosey on over there and pick some up. Any recommendations as to which loaf I must/should try first?! I’m so excited.

      Look for Flax Oat Bran (called Cville Crunch here) or High Five! And while you’re there, if they have cinnamon chip or cheddar garlic on the breadboard, taste those too!
