summer cooking

[delightt]

Since it's gotten increasingly hot in the apartment, we've tried to stay away from cooking as much as possible. Even with the fan blowing out the kitchen window, standing in front of the stove when the oven or an element is on is unbearable. And then when you're done it's too hot to eat

Is yours a teppanyaki type or BBQ type grill?
Other stuff to grill - unmelty cheese like halloumi, feta. Pineapple slices. Bananas in skin. Squash or pumpkin slices.

Hth!

BBQ.

Squash/pumpkin not quite in season yet, but we'll definitely do them in the fall. We haven't gotten around to grilling our fruit yet, mostly we like them raw!, but I might convinced him to try. I've thought about watermelon, too. Haven't thought about cheeses, but if we can get 'em cheap I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the suggestions!!

i like grilling a mixture of onions, zucchini, peppers, and potato. super yumz blend of flavors. grilled fish, like rainbow trout and salmon, prawn, scallop, are awesome but pricy. grilled pears, apples... seems like everything tastes good on the grill! lets do some heavy grilling when i'm there! i'm happy to pay for grocery since i'm the only working one amongst us 3.

Hmm. We can definitely experiment when you get here! Can't wait!
