SUMMERFEST 248

As a young man growing up in the Midwest, summertime fare featured several home-grown favorites.  They may have actually ‘become’ favorites due to the frequency of appearances in my youth, but for whatever the reason, they appear on the marquis list now.  Early in the day, we discussed what we might ‘throw on the grill’ for the evening supper and discussion gave way to decision and, before you could say “Jack Robinson” the menu was set – succulent, mouth-watering, medium rare lean-ground burgers served on bakery-fresh buns with all the accoutrements  necessary to accessorize such a backyard entrée – add one medium steaming baked Yukon Gold potato swimming in a pool of molten yellow butter, a monstrous ear of large tightly-kernelled golden corn-on-the-cob cooked to absolute perfection, tender and sweet, and to finish it all off, red, ripe, tasty and dripping-off-your-elbows juicy seedless watermelon, and you have the perfect response to the age-old question, “Is there anything that beats a steak on the grill?”.  One might think that when a man grows up that he outgrows this summer-fest of outdoor cuisine and perhaps some men do – just not this one!!  Saturday, September 05, 2009
