Caution: Deliciousness to Follow
Saturday morning we loaded up the dogs and headed to the dog park. Unfortunately, we never made it. Instead, we ended up spending most of the day running errands and getting ready for a barbeque dinner we were hosting--one that we had decided to hold just before falling asleep the night before. The dogs, however, did get to go inside two pet stores and help pick out their toys and treats. So it wasn’t a total waste on their end. Also, couple of friends brought their part-greyhound puppy over when they came for the dinner, so the dogs spent several hours running circles in our backyard.
But back to the meal. First I rubbed seasoning on cubed pieces of steak. Then I made a BBQ-Mango marinade and glaze while Kathryn deveined a bunch of jumbo shrimp. We marinated the shrimp while I cut up red, green, and yellow peppers, zucchini, onion, and mushrooms. Then skewered everything, slapped them on the grill and hit ‘em repeatedly with the glaze. Kathryn made coconut-mango rice and I spent the last few minutes whipping up a double-pitcher dose of Mojitos. One friend brought some salad, another brought some beer and it was a meal made in heaven.

Oh yeah, Dessert. Baked (on the grill) spiced apple slices on top of vanilla ice cream (or rice cream for me).
