Although it’s sleeting here today (and freezing rain, and snowing now and then,) the weatherman is forecasting 64 degrees tomorrow! I’m ready! I’m getting out the grill!
I’ve spent two days thinking about what that first grilled meal is going to be, so I’ll be prepared when that warmth strikes. I’ve got my shorts all picked out, and my sandals dusted off. Cleaning up the iced tea maker, and lemons are on my grocery list. I’m thinking marinated london broil sounds tasty, along with some pocket potatoes, roasted with garlic and rosemary…maybe a little sprinkling of dill. Mmmmm….I can smell it already! Maybe I’ll even whip up a fresh berry salad for the occasion! Oooo—with fresh whipped cream on top! Yeah, that’s what I’ll do!
AND we’ll walk to the local ice cream shop for dessert! My girls begged me to take them on opening day (Saturday) but I couldn’t bring myself to get bundled up in 28 degree weather to sit at a picnic table and eat an ice cream cone. Call me crazy.
Gonna get an extra super tall vanilla softy, dipped in chocolate and sprinkles…..Mmmmm! And the babe’s gonna LOVE his first taste of summery yum! I can hardly wait!

I’ll live for the Now tomorrow. 😉
A Half Hour a Day 
Summer. Warmth. Grilling… just a dream for us in Chicago right now.
They said on the news last night that it has been 164 days since our last 70 degree day. And there are no 70s in the 7-day forecast 😦
So are you gonna share your recipe for marinated London Broil and pocket potatoes?
Can’t believe you’ve been keeping your blog a secret from us since November.
It’s getting a bit depressing, isn’t it? *sigh*
As far as recipes go…I usually just throw stuff together, and if it’s good, I throw the same stuff together the next time! I’ll see if I can work something up though. 🙂
Back in November I wasn’t sure if I’d have the energy, let alone the material to keep a blog running. I’m still not sure! 😉 But at least I’m now willing to give it a go. Thanks for stopping by!
Pocket potatoes? Are those potatoes that you cook in a foil pocket on the grill?
Love the blog so far, KD! I plan to link to you on my blog soon but my blog is a pain in the butt for updating that part. Bear with me!
🙂
Aw, thanks Jen! Yes…foil potatoes…yum!
