paella with shrimp, mussels, squid, and black cod
green salad
**THE ONE TRUE PEACH COBBLER** (my contribution)

Muy bien.

With heat like that, why did you need a grill? :-)

I think I'm going to put a cast-iron skillet out on my patio sometime soon,
to see how hot it can get under direct sunlight. (Too bad I don't have one
of those nifty laser thermometers like Alton Brown!) I'm *sure* I could get
it hot enough to cook an egg, but I wonder if I can get it hot enough to
make shabu-shabu.

LOL! I do know that whole eggs, if left outside all day in direct sun on a
dark background, will end up "hard boiled". Don't ask how I know! :-)

Shabu-shabu? Probably not. Too much temperature drop in the broth as bits
of food are added. :-)

Got me thinking now...how about a succession of skillets, each retaining a
goodly amount of thermal energy from being in the sun all day? (That's one
reason I mentioned cast iron in particular; the temperature drop shouldn't
be all that great because of the pan's ability to retain heat.) It really
doesn't take much to cook the shabu-shabu meat all the way through. I'll
try it and report my results.

Added some store-bought potstickers. Had the fish just marinated, and
the balls in sesame/seaweed.

Mmm, watermelon. We should have some at our next barbecue.

Try your rice balls with furikake! It's seaweed, seasonings and sesame, I
think sesame. It's also good on popcorn.

Good Lord, Wayne-I thought it was bad here yesterday! Sorry dear, but
better thee than me!LOL Dinner sounds good though-we had tacos, and will
have hot wings and *something* tonight since it's now cool enough to run the
oven.
