As it happened, John-Man went out for dinner with his Sweetie-Pie so I manned the grill with the assistance of my daughter Meg and son David.
We grilled 4 lbs of colossal shrimp followed by a septet of NY Strips. It was a memorable repast.
Getting used to the new grill - I have never seen a grill throw out so much heat on a relatively small number of coals. We filled the chimney starter - I thought I would have to add coals after cooking the shrimp, but I just slapped the steaks down - 14 minutes and perfectly cooked.
Mrs. MacNessa bought me a bottle of Single Malt Scotch - a new one to me - I will taste it with great anticipation - but not this evening.
