Get your aluminum foil and wire brush out, grilling season is here! Although I have been grilling outside for some time now (and even occasionally in the winter), this is when the amateurs join in and things really heat up (so to speak). We eat outdoors whenever possible, and it's going to be more and more possible, very soon.
Our grill is a sort of grill-jalopy, having spent up all its happy days (probably during the Eisenhower administration). It's very rusty inside, structurally deteriorated, looking like it's about to collapse in a messy and noisy way. I think that's how it will happen, crashing down rudely, all rusty metal and carbonized burger bits as I stand staring in awe, trusty spatula in hand. I really can't see it going out peacefully.
But until that time we'll keep firing the old boy up, and loading him down with chicken and mushrooms and tomatoes and eggplants.
Ahhh...my favorite time of year is here at last.
