I bought a charcoal grill this week, my first solo BBQ.

And every BBQ needs music, so I have my well loved Frankie Beverly & Maze and the Patti LaBelles and a new to me artist Irma Thomas.

Plans for grilling, salmon, and assorted veggies and fizzy water with fruit peels in it.

Enjoy a safe Memorial Weekend

2. Sounds good! I'll be right over...

What?

Oh.

Never mind.

3. I have not used charcoal for at least 2 decades, b/c of the gas grill

Which went with the ex.
I did not know that specific hardwood smokes are so easily available now a days.

4. Gas grills are much more convenient and much less smokey, but...

doing it right with charcoal communes with our ancestors and, more importantly, tastes better.

5. That sounds fun and delicious!

That’s just the menu my family enjoys for cookouts! My son & I love flavored fizzy water with lime slices, grilled salmon and veggies of all sorts! I think about making cornbread in a cast iron skillet too.

We have a Lodge cast iron hibachi, which is an awesome grill! I use an all natural hardwood charcoal from Publix. We use a charcoal chimney and some newspaper to start the charcoal. We’ll grill out tomorrow.

Have a nice cookout! 🔥
