father's day grillin...

so...i decided to bbq today.  i guess i thought i was cooking for an army...because i definitely cooked enough food to feed one.  

mrchazman and i started out the day puttering around in the backyard.  i watered the veggies and flowers...and he rearranged plants on the patio and prepped the grill. 

i went to the freezer and removed chicken...shrimp...and steak.  then...i washed some lettuce for the salad.  veggies were being grilled on the food network this morning...so i decided to grill some too.   

i went to a local produce stand...where...after checking in (foursquare)...i was happily informed that i was now the mayor!  yippee!!!! 

i purchased some eggplant...red & yellow peppers...and a humongous onion.  i also got some more corn on the cob.  oh...and some more of those cherries...because i'd already eaten the ones i got yesterday. 

armed with my purchases...i came home and lit the grill while i prepped the veggies (cut & drizzled with olive oil & seasoned with kosher salt n pepper).  i'd also picked up some links (turkey) while i was out...so they and the chicken hit the grill first.  

when i finally called mrchazman to dinner...he wondered how he was supposed to put all that food on his plate.  i told him..."i've cooked for the week...so every day...eat something different". 

when i was out earlier...i also made a run by sweetie pies and picked up some apricot berry cobbler for dessert.  though he ate a light dinner...he made sure he saved room for dessert.  .
