cold brewed

Recently we acquired a grill and engaged the experiments of outdoor cooking. In order to better heat the coals, we needed a metal coffee can. Folgers no longer makes coffee in large metal cans so I ended up with a big can of HEB coffee grounds. It isn't the coffee I normally drink, so I wondered what I was going to do with a couple dozen ounces of coffee grounds. It is getting hot too, notwithstanding this morning's thunderstorms. So the experiments with iced coffee began. Now that I've acquired a large glass jar and determined the 3 to 1 ratio and overnight steeping works best, I think I can move through all that coffee easily.

Indeed - we have a nice long set of tongs for picking up the can. I'm leaving that all to Mike. My track record with fire is never productive. :P

We did a big salmon steak a couple weeks ago and omg delicious. It was like eating butter. This week we are going to do some barbequed chicken, and grilled ears of corn. I am very intrigued by the idea of a grilling wok - that sounds fun!

Have you ever grilled a papaya? It is so delicious.
