Summer Cookery

Another day wasted in Drudgery and Hardship. It's Beer Thirty and the kitchen still isn't really going to pass inspection; three loads in the dishwasher, a sinkful of hand washing and it just goes on and on. Why is that?

Possibly because it's now officially Grilling Season-certainly no one would think of cooking inside when it's this hot outside.

So, in lieu of recipes, we present:



A Brief Review of Favored Condiments


Girards Italian Dressing; fabulous for salad, but also for grilled veggies;


Spice Island Chili Powder; for making rubs (and chili) it's just that good...sometimes hard to find but just as often in the Five for a Dollar Section;

Dukes Mayonaise; this just appeared in the kitchen a few weeks back. It's a southern favorite and tastes rather like homemade;

Bone Sucking Mustard; last but absolutely not least, this stuff is from somewhere in North Carolina and is just the best. It's available online, but ask yer local specialty or liquor store, it'll save you the shipping.
