Happy Independece Day to all Colonists!
Did you know Thomas Jefferson and John Henry Adams (I'm pretty sure it was those specific two; know it was for sure Thomas Jefferson) died on July 4th?
Here's today's menu, all to be done on the grill:
Fresh quartered pineapple marinated in peach preserves (I forgot I was outta honey...), water, ginger, and Ceylon Cinnamon, "Continental 00000" (whatever THAT means). ("Ceylon 'true' cinnamon has a soft, complex taste with a hint of citrus. Used in English baking for fruit tarts and cakes. It is also the cinnamon of choice in Mexido for pastries and rice dishes," thus spaketh Penzey's. Once you try Ceylon Cinnamon you'll never go back to 'regular' cinnamon, thus spaketh Gertie.)
Porterhouse steak, marniated in oil, Penzey's "Chicago" steak seasoning, and a splash of vinegar. Will be seared and then slowly cooked to med-rare.
Mushrooms and ionions for the steak. Will be done in real butter.
And last, but by no means least, eggplant - aborginnes (I TOTALLY slaughtered the spelling on that! I'm sorry, but I can't pronouce it.) - with fresh tomatoe slices, fresh sweet basil (that I've grown!
), and provolone cheese.
BURP!
