Grilling is “OK”
We usually use the grill all summer long every summer, just because I don’t like the oven heating up the house…. but we are grilling more frequently now that I couldn’t use my oven even if I wanted to. I used to LOVE grilled food, but it has kinda lost it’s charm for me. The men love the grilled food, so I do mostly recipes they like. 
I dislike using the grill, because tiny grease droplets splatter all over me. My glasses are always splattered with the grill grease (YUK), not to mention my face, hair, and clothing. It’s disgusting and I’m practically in need of best acne treatments after a summer in front of the grill. Am I the only one who has grill grease splat problems? I’ve never heard anyone mention it before…
Well, anyway, I’m trying to come up with more ideas than the “hamburgers and hot dogs” stuff for the grill. I tried this teriyaki marinade on the chicken recently.
It was “OK.” I was surprised that it didn’t turn out better– it was Ken’s brand Teriyaki marinade. It was too sweet and not tangy enough. Still, very palatable.

My husband always wants grilled food in the summertime too. Lucky for me he also likes to cook it, so I don’t have to stand in front of the grill. I don’t know if he experiences the “grease splat problem” – he probably wouldn’t even notice if he did, LOL. Anyway, I also have trouble mid-way through the summer coming up with “fresh” ideas of things to grill. I took out chicken to defrost tonight and I still don’t know what I’m going to do with it to prepare it for the grill tomorrow night…Bring on the fall! Then I can get back to using my oven and crock pot again!
