15 days earlier than last year and 5 days earlier than 2009 I officially opened the 2011 season. Had the usual stuff (like steak, pork ribs with dry rub, chicken parts, slices of vegetable marniated in garlic, olive oil and herbs and so on) but tried a new butter to go with the meat.
I gently fried some chopped challots in oil until golden brown and crispy (avoiding them getting bitter). Let them cool down kneaded them into butter. Seasoned with salt, cayenne pepper and French hot Dijon mustard. De-li-cious.
Just have to scrap my old trusty Weber - one leg is so rusty that it almost broke and the whole thing gone all cattywampus.
The season has begun ...

It SHOULD still be freezing here, average high about 40, but it's been 60 or higher for over a week [with a handful of 70+], and forecast to continue at least a week more...EVERYONES grillin'.Ananda wrote:You're grilling in march??!? It's freezing here still.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

But yea, Ananda! What did happen to you Vikings...if ya need to grill, just set something on fire on the british coast.
But on topic, just had, among other things nice 'tater salad and apricot/ginger/gruyere sausages

Season started purty late this year. It's alreadey mid April and I only grilled for the second time this year.
Just for the record:
2009 - March 14
2010 - March 24
2011 - March 09
2012 - March 16
2013 - April 02
We had a fish and seafood day.
- gilt-head bream (Mediterranean sea fish) filled with fennel and orange
- teriyaki squid tubes
- tuna steaks marniated Italian style
- g'day mate, put a shrimp on the barbie
- Salmon with skin
- Green lipped mussles (three ways: with salsa, with parsley butter and just with salt and olive oil)
Potato fish. :p
The bream is ready to eat ...
... and so are the mussels.
I was very relieved when the squid turned out to be tender and soft as butter and not chewy as gum.
With all due modesty, here is a tuna steak grilled to perfection.
