I will post some pics. What I have recently enjoyed cooking is meatballs on the grill. I take some ground chuck, pour some oregeno, basil and garilic,salt and pepper. Then mix it all up, shape some meatballs out and throw on the grill! Makes for awesome spaghetti and meatballs!! For the sauce, I use a simple $1.14 can of Chef Boayardee Pizza sauce on them when they are sizzlin. It's a cheap and easy italiano taste that blows Olive Garden in the weeds

Nice. Meatballs on the grill. Gas or charcoal? Do you put foil down, or just put them directly on the grill? How long do they cook for? I'm assuming you cover those to get the doneness you need on the interior. Kinda like mini-burgers. You could toss a nice roll on the grill and make some meatball subs. Let those meatballs sit in the sauce for awhile, then put on the roll, topped with some cheese. Hah, now I'm hungry. Looking forward to your pics. Cheers.

Thanks for the kind words. I thawed out the rest of the chicken thighs and grilled them up with some veggies this evening. Nothing spectacular, but pretty tasty and healthy. And enough for lunch tomorrow. :)

The chicken thigh marinade: 1 tblspn balsamic vinegar, 1 tblspn worcestershire, 1.5 tblspn "steak-type dry seasoning" and about 1/3 cup olive oil. It can actually marinate for about 1 hour and be awesome, but the longer the better. Once you whip up the marinade, give it a taste. I usually end up adding a bit more of the worcestershire to balance out the vinegar. Full Disclosure: This marinade recipe was one I saw on Rachel Ray's t.v. show. I think she's friggin' annoying as hell, but I love this marinade.

The veggies (yellow squash, bell peppers, shrooms, italian zucchni) were just tossed in olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
Cat for the win.

Damn, that looks tasty Bill. It's lunch time and I'm friggin' starving. Making my mouth water. Good job on the asparagus. You didn't cook the hell out of them until they were mushy. Cheers.

Oh no way, I can't stand it like that, I like mine with a slight crunch to them.

I had a craving for a Reuben sandwich, so I picked up the ingredients and broke out the cast iron skillet. Easy sandwich to make. Rye bread (I used marbled rye), thousand island, Pastrami, Swiss cheese and Sauerkraut.

Those garlic fries from Trader Joe's were absolutely horrible. I could only stomach 3 or 4 of them. The garlic/herb sauce was disgusting. What a shame. I should've just sprinkled them with a little kosher salt and called it a day. Pissed me off. That's always been the thing with Trader Joe's. It's hit or miss with their products.

The Reuben turned out awesome. Plenty of ingredients for more.

Thanks Bill. A Reuben only has several ingredients and is easy to make. Basically a jacked up grilled ham and cheese.

I just deleted some pics because I noticed my pain killer prescription was visible in the corner with my name on it. I'm an idiot.

Is that your cat in your avatar?
The sandwich sounds tasty, but i'm not too big a fan of kraut'. I never got in to the taste of it.
Good thing you noticed the pic before someone else did.

@ Bill: Yep, that was a beautiful Bengal cat I raised from a kitten and had for several years. He was a handful and I eventually gave him to a family that lived further out in the country. Broke my heart, but he's much happier than being cooped up in my apartment.

@ Johnney: Jesus or Mary?
