If you live in Chicago, you know that our weather is completely random. It can be 40 degrees in September then 60 degrees in November. When the weather is on your side, you have to take the opportunity to grill. This Sunday's RWS was one of those days.Mom fired up the grill and made my Dad and I some steaks (medium rare of course). Along with the steak, we had a mixed green salad with dried cranberries and candied walnuts, oven roasted rosemary sweet potatoes, and wine of course. We had a French Cotes du Rhone wine (Hermitage) which was delicious. This wine didn't need an aerator, but we used it anyway and once again it made the wine that much better.
For dessert, we had my brownies with a little Haagen Dazs.
I know what you mean about the weather in Chicago,and grilling in November is definitely bonus time...However, this past Sunday the weather was used to different advantage - raking a yard full of leaves.I decided to put a rack of baby back ribs in the slow-cooker...Nothing beats working all day - either inside or outside - and stepping through the door to the fabulous aroma, and fall off the bone tenderness, of a meal ready and waiting...Try the slow-cooker sometime, you might really like it!
