Dinner on a Grill

Our Air Conditioner is broken,
and it is 110 degrees where I live today!
Our oven just broke,
and it takes four hours to cook carrots,
and it's too hot to care!
Our dishwasher just broke too,
yeah, it's a run of bad luck for 
our home warranty company :(
so doing dishes over a sink of
hot water is no picnic--

Well to celebrate all this brokedness,
we have been using the grill-
oh the glories of a working grill,
on a shaded patio,
in a shady backyard!!

And this is what we created for dinner tonight-

stars & stripes dishes don't get packed away until after Labor Day at this house!

 and ate on paper plates-
oh wait, no we didn't,
we used normal plates,
but we should've used paper!

We had ourselves a little grilled zucchini,

lightly dusted with olive oil & salt

and a little grilled asparagus,

lightly tossed with olive oil, salt and generous ground pepper

with a little freshly shred Parmesan for good measure,

and a little grilled Salmon!

and for dessert,
because we were so hot,
and it is a Thursday,
we had frozen fruit bars that were a bit
of icy cold tundra to our tongues!
Love it
