bbq

Gas barbecue grills win from the convenience point of view.
After doing several coal bbq's over the years, I have switched to a gas bbq now.
We had an inexpensive bbq that we got 6 yrs back - but that totally killed the joy of bbq.

This yr we upgraded to the weber 310. Its a smaller grill - but sufficient for the family (plus a few friends) The net effect is that we had a record 3 bbq's in the past week. We do simple menus that include burgers / suasages etc. But the convenience is terrific.
Lesson learned : dont go for the inexpensive bbq grill + get a gas grill (unless you have a real lot of time on your hand)

Fruits in California

Fruit overkill!

Current stash of fruits at home:
  • Watermelon
  • Bananas
  • Rasberries
  • Blackberries
  • Peaches
  • Nectarines
  • Apricots
  • Apples
  • Plums (house tree)

Here are my options:
  • sell some of
  • give some away ( I will be giving plums starting tomorrow)
  • go on a fruit diet
  • make shakes... but these berries and stone fruit are not very suitable.
I am hoping these will not go waste..
