We got a new grill on sale at Lowes… a discontinued model and only $44. How can you go wrong?

There is nothing better than grilling some chicken… veggies, corn, potatoes… or a nice burger or a steak… fire and food just seems to go together nice in the cool evening.

We had some delicacies from our favorite local butcher shop… they make these little tenderloin wraps that are marinated… prime rib, pork and turkey and we’ve been dying to try them… so we got one of each and we are going to taste test them…. fresh and hot off the brand new grill.

My little yardsale table find (for $5!) did the job pretty good… it’s just a tad bit skinny… and I did have another job for it… but it worked in a pinch. I need to keep my eye out for a better table to become the grilling station….

Oh, but was it wonderful…. sat outside and read a little while the grill sizzled and Gypsy sat next to me and drooled like a dog in love. She could hardly wait.

The girls joined me and Maggie gathered sticks and got the firepit ready for dessert… We also had some pasta and veggies in this garlic sauce… a package deal but it was tasty… and a bit of Maggie’s homemade potato salad… very tasty.

We decided that we loved the turkey ones… the pork was next and the prime rib was last! I was surprised, I thought the prime rib one would be a real hit, but it was a ground rib and kinda ended up tasting like a good burger, but still like a burger. The other two were marinated and juicy and just perfectly wonderful. They were wrapped with bacon, always a hit, eh? And just tender and flavorful. I can’t say we’ll be having them all the time… but at $1.69 – $1.99 each, it’s really not that bad, for a special treat… Less than $6 for the three of us for a delish little grill treat… heck a stupid meal at McDs is like $5 for ONE person! Add a little salad, maybe some fresh garden veggies… and you’ve got a nice meal!

And then… smores for desert!!! Smores, the Chekal Girl Way… toast up a smushy marshmellow and then smash it between two chocolate coated shortbread cookies!!! YUM! And easy too… that candy bar, gramham cracker thing is kinda lumpy and hard to do! We find it easier to use either the chocolate coated shortbread or gramham cracker cookies instead!

The rain cut our lovely evening short, but we had a great time… grilling and eating outside for the first time at the moby this year!!!
