Barbecue Friendship
Well, I really didn't think it would happen, but I made nice with the barbecue pit! From start to finish, I barbecued chicken. Yes, folks, I even started up the pit. Greg found these candle lighters with a long neck and that's the way I am able to feel comfortable with the gas flame.
I also tried out a neat side dish ~ yes, a new recipe. I saw it on one of the cooking shows and thought, "Hmm, simple enough, I can do that!" If you're looking for another option with veggies, give this a try, it's tasty!
Roasted Broccoli and Tomatoes
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Cut up 3 cloves, minced, cut up green onions
Cut up 2 florets of broccoli into bite sized pieces
Put all of the above in a bowl along with a pint of cherry tomatoes
Mix ingredients together with ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes and 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
Spread the ingredients out on a roasting pan and cook in the oven at 450 for 18 minutes.
It came out great, though I’d probably do more green onions and more garlic next time. Also might try to add in some cauliflower (and mushrooms too - though I'll keep it in a separate place on the roasting pan, because Greg won't eat mushrooms!)
All in all, a tasty meal and 2 things off of the 101 List! Woo Hoo!

Glad you had fun.
Ill be waiting.
thanks :)
Isn't barbeque such a relaxing way to cook? I always thought it was more of a man's thing, to barbeque, but I'm finding that I like it. Plus, it keeps the heat out of the house!
Lol. You might be waiting a for a long, long time. Lol. Greg is very patient with me and I don't think he actually thought I would cook the chicken, because I was also preparing the veggies at the same time. I like roasting the veggies, a different flavor (and I love garlic)! Thanks for posting!
Good luck!

Ahhhh, barbecued veggies - that's the next thing on my list!
We love to eat grilled kebabs (minced mutton/chicken marinated in various spices and yogurt and shaped like rolls or patties) and grilled paneer (cottage-cheese)! Grilled brinjals (aubergines) also taste great!
