Open Season on the Que

Well hello! Thanks for coming. I'd like to introduce ourselves. I am Lisa and joining me is Mary, we'll be your servers throughout grill season. But this is March you say? And we live in the Chicagoland area you say? Yes, that's correct. Like many die hards, our grilling season is year round. It doesn't matter if it's cold, snowy, rainy or icy... we like our food cooked on FIRE! Our families agree as well. They really don't care what or how it is we get it to the table, as long as it's good and it's ALWAYS good! Wouldn't you love to join us? Let's start by talking about our latest adventure. This past Saturday, which was actually still February, we started with 4 deliciously marinated flank steaks. Covered in teriyaki, garlic, sesame oil, lime juice and pineapples, they sat overnight in the fridge bathing in the wonderous flavors. For sides, we made a black bean and corn salad and grilled veggies and potatoes. Mary also brought her famous "salsamole" for some dipping - or for those of us who used it on our fajita (SOOOOOO yummy!)
Just look at that beautiful beef!

Perfectly done with bean salad on the side.

Potatoes, poblanos, red bells & purple onion

So what could be better to wash it all down with? A nice cold beer!

Mary has the good taste in brews. I on the other hand will settle for ice cold....

Coors Light!
The boys hit the Margarita's with fresh fruit pretty hard, and there was wine and vodka in there somewhere too. Like I said, we like to induldge a tad bit.  So there's the first recorded Que of the year.

Oh by the way, we are also dorky food photogs so you'll be seeing random shots of our outings as well.  At least the ones that are picture worthy!

Come back and visity again, there's always room for more at our table...
L&M
