I love summer

[dreadnut]

Tonight's menu: Fresh bi-colored corn-on-the-cob slathered in butter, salad made with fresh-picked green leaf lettuce from my garden, and meatloaf infused with sautéed Vidalia onions and Poblano peppers, and cooked on my Webber grill under the shade tree in my back yard.

First time I've done meatloaf on the grill, it turned out really good! Using the indirect method of heat, my 2lb. meatloaf took about 1 1/2 hours. It was nicely browned all over but still very juicy inside, I just put my ingredients together, shaped it into a loaf, and tossed it on the hot grill. Opened both vents, top and bottom, let it go until done.

Ahh summertime. My favorite time of year. Blueberries , corn and peaches are just about in season. Yummy

88% humidity and a gallon to a gallon and a half of water/gatoraid mix consumed during a 10 hour shift.


Summer - you can have it!

What Steve said! Peaches and Blueberries in season are great. 88% humidity and 70º+ dew points, not so much so. Give me the cooler weather anytime.

I like summer. There's good times to be had. It gets a bit extreme here. As long as you plan ahead and do things according to certain rules it can be tolerated. But when the temps cool down and you can go outside without blistering all your skin off just taking the trash out, then it starts to get more fun. I love fall, winter, and spring in Vegas. Summer, is okay..... but I tolerate it. Late October things will start to get more tolerable...... :wink:

Summer's my least favorite season. I'll take fall any day. :rugby:

You know, normally I'm not a big fan of summer either, last year at this time was brutal - in the 90's and high humidity. But summer this year has been pleasant in Michigan, average temps have been in the low 70's, that's my kinda summer.

I'll take the summer all day long as my favorite season. I mean: BBQ, miniskirts, drinking beer in the garden, stays light till 10-10:30 pm, won't have to wear a jacket, etc, etc.

Try to match that fall/winter/spring

I'm just glad summer finally showed up around here. Just in time for what should be the best day of summer "The Fourth of July". We have our annual family get together here at the lake. Predicted 80 degrees and clear skies, grill will be going all day, refreshments packed in ice, swimming, boating, bon fire this evening and there'll be much fireworks to see around the lake from our pontoon after dark. Good thing I have Friday off.:excitement:

Yeah, but miniskirts only emphasize the odd tanlines on my legs, so I generally wear shorts instead. :-(

I'm a big fan of summer and the family vacations that come with it, but +1 on being tired of the high humidity!

Well I have to say it hasn't stopped raining here in w central Ohio since we got home from our trip to Yellowstone back on June 23rd. But that hasn't stopped me from cooking on the grill.

I think I prefer any time of year where I can comfortably wear a flannel shirt...makes LMG IV just a little too early in the season for me this year...but it won't stop us from going, LOL

Steve...I now have a picture in my mind that I cannot flush...you in Postman's shorts with tan lines that don't match...arrggh!

PS...Does that image of Grandpa Jones mean that Doyle Dikes is lurking around a corner somewhere?
