Grillin'

Today was the perfect day for a grilled dinner, especially since the weather was so great!

The Menu
grilled artichokes with aioli
grilled corn
burgers with cheddar

I made an aioli from The Spanish Table cookbook.

Recipe:
2/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 tsp lemon juice (fresh)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 egg yolks
salt

Add garlic, lemon juice and egg to blender. Mix ~1 min. Slowly add the oil, pouring while blender is running. Remove from blender, season with salt. Refrigerate for 1 hour until serving.So easy and so delicious!


The grilled artichokes came out really well.


And were fantastic with the aioli.


Of course, you can't grill outside in the summer without a beer. I enjoyed a UFO.


I love these glasses. I bought them for J ages ago for Christmas from Red Envelope. They came in a set of four and each has a different Irish Blessing on it. My glass says, May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings. Love it!



The burgers look so good!!


Corn. Hmmph. I have corn issues (as in I didn't eat it until recently) but it was good, I'll give it that.


Dinner!!


Wonderful summer meal.
