Mother's Day Meal Bombs

[Railroad (Premo)]

So I said to myself, "Self," I said, "howsabout something new and different for the Mother's day meal this year?"



Sis Kebab. Easy, right? You get those little sticks, and stick a bunch of veggies and meat on 'em, and grill 'em, right?

Not.

So I went out and spared no expense on tomatoes, potatoes, shallots, and onions. Thawed out some nice steaks and stew beef. Pulled the Crew together and had a veggie-cleaning and kebab-assembling party at the kitchen stink.

Fired up the grill and away we went.

Later on, everyone said the meal was great, except for a few small details:

• The potatoes didn't cook at all
• The baby onions were thermonuclear devices that I'm still burping up today
• The tomatoes were too sweet for Mrs. Railroad, so she disliked them

I was wearing a new silk shirt. Wore an apron while cooking. Didn't while eating. Splattered A-1 sauce on my shirt.

When everyone broke up for the evening, we avoided kissing each other goodbye.

I have a meeting today.

The onion stink is curling my hair.

We ran out of propane, just as the meal finished cooking. Good timing.

Cool! You had the luck I didn't have!

Shishkebab sucks. You have to be really careful what you put on the skewer because everything doesn't cook at the same rate. Potatoes and tomatoes are an especially poor combination.

But what the heck - you only learn to do by doing, right?

I thought it was by having a woman telling you how it should be done.

I love chicken wings but doing them on the grill always ticks me off because they cook stupid. So last time I pulled them out so they were almost straight from drumette to tip and threaded a skewer through each one to keep them that way. Cooked up very nicely without charred spots and raw spots. The Grill God on MPT taught me that little trick.

Marinade them in teriyaki sauce for a day or two, then baste them with Buffalo sauce during cooking. Yowza!!

Usually when I make them I don't intertwine the food, I just put all meat on one, same vegies on other, etc. That way you put them on at different times so they all get cooked accordingly.
