Happy Friday!
It’s Friday! Hooray! It should be a good day, too. The weather is beautiful - I didn’t even bring a jacket in to work today, and I biked in, too. That’s a whole week of increasingly nice weather and a whole week of biking in.
Tonight we’re going to see Natalia Zuckerman at The Ark, and heading over to a friend’s to celebrate her birthday afterwards. Yep, should be a good day.
Anyway, I wanted to share with you my cooking adventures from last night. Now, in general, I don’t cook, so any time I have anything resembling cooking, I get all proud of myself if it ends up edible. Logan’s been grilling a lot this week, so when we went to the grocery store he encouraged me to get something to grill, too. Shrimp! So, last night, I made a marinade, skewered up some shrimp, and grilled!


The honey mustard marinade, and the food as it went on the grill.

Almost done!
In retrospect, I should’ve started preparing it all sooner. It was getting a little late when we decided to grill, so we didn’t have a whole lot of time to marinate the shrimp before they hit the grill. Still, all in all, it was pretty good, and pretty easy, too. I think I’m going to try a few different marinades. I got the recipe for this one from the back of the bag of shrimp, and they have a teriyaki one too.


* giggle * at first I thought you’d put a slice of cheese on the grill, then realized it was covering the entire burger. It looks absolutely delectable even though I couldn’t figure out why the cheese wasn’t just dripping down
:) No, we didn’t put a slice of cheese on the grill - that’d definitely be the wrong way to approach “grilled cheese.” The picture was taken right after we threw the cheese on, so it hasn’t had time to drip yet.
