\"grilledcorn.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>Are you going to celebrate the 4th of July with a cookout?  If so, I have two questions for you:<\/p>\n

1.  What are you making?<\/p>\n

2.  What grill are you making it on?<\/p>\n

I ask because I’m always looking for yummy ways to use the grill, but also because we’re in the market for one for our new house<\/a>, and I’m a little overwhelmed by the options.  We had been all set to get the grill Consumer Reports<\/a> (my purchasing bible….) listed as their ‘Best Buy,’ but it turns out that it’s been discontinued.  What am I to do now, rudderless without that little blue check mark signifying “CR Best Buy?”  So please advise–are you a Weber person?  Ducane?  CharmGlow?  We’re looking for something reliable, middle-of-the-line, and durable.<\/p>\n

Anyway, back to question 1.  Do you have a recipe you’re famous for on the grill?  Me, I love to marinate asparagus or thick, bias-cut zucchini in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and thyme, and then grill until browned but still tender.  My mother-in-law makes delectable chicken thighs on the grill, dusted with a simple spice mixture and cooked in an aluminum pan (no drippings, but just enough grill-smoke-itude).  What are your legendary grill adventures?  Please share!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, with 4th of July recipes on the brain, I just had to share this delectable-looking list of goodies from Heidi Swanson over at 101 Cookbooks<\/a>.  I have 3 words for you: roasted tomato salsa.  Mmmm.  Check out her list here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, not to be Debbie Downer, but while we’re on the subject, I feel the need to remind you that charring meat on the grill has been linked to pancreatic cancer<\/a>.  So hold off on the well-done, and happy 4th!<\/p>\n
