We’ve been working off a small gas grill that came with the place for six months now, and it uses micro propane cartridges that cannot be refilled. So yesterday we headed out to buy a real grill with a small footprint. I’d have a larger grill that was more versatile for indirect grilling or smoking but we have very little space so chose a Char-Broil “Patio Caddy.”
We tried it out last night, and it took my Jim an hour to assemble. Our steak was cooked perfectly but was tough, must be the meat. Tonight I think I’m making Julia Child’s French Onion Soup. All I need is some French bread for croutons, and Gruyere cheese.
Trifle will also be on the menu tomorrow, a gift for others but I’ll make a mini-one for us. If you have any ideas as to what to give a group of strangers for a food-related gift, let me know. I picked berry trifle and as the fates would have it, my trifle bowl is in storage 1,500 miles away so first thing, I have to buy another. I don’t bake. Remember that. Cheers, Dee
