I'm sitting here waiting for the temp to rise on the Keg so I can put some swordfish steaks on to grill. I already grilled some bacon wrapped baby zucchini and smoked baby portobello mushrooms. Just having and icy(and I mean a frosty necked)Summer Ale while the temp rises. While in the yard I picked a couple of small ripe tomatoes to make a spinach and tomato salad using a friend's(Jeannie baby)homemade Cajun Red Wine vinaigrette.

It's rough being here while the wife is out of town! ;) :) :D ;D

Ahhhhh..... gulp...... I just took a sip of frosty beer and those icy ale crystals went down so soothingly(is that a word?) It is now!

Nice. I want to see some pics of those swordfish steaks. My wife is out of town, too, so I'm had a strip steak for dinner.

Put some awesome grill marks on those swordfish steaks!!!

Well, all I can say is that was a fantastic meal! I really amaze myself sometimes. I started with wrapping baby zucchini with bacon and dredging the baby portobellos in melted butter and sprinkling them with my Cajun seasoning.

Whew! It sure gets hot around that grill. Good th`ing I had some life saving adult pops with the foam on top to cool me down.

The baby zuchs were looking really nice!

And the baby portobellos were coming along nicely.

I let the Keg get up to about 600* to cook the swordfish hot and quick.

I seriously don't think I could have had a better meal in any restaurant tonight.

The swordfish was cooked about as perfect as it could be done!

The salad wasn't too dang shabby either with Jeanie's Cajun Red Wine dressing and a lil grated parmesan cheese.

I know someone besides me must be reading this, 'cuz that looks awesome. What did you glaze the fish with?

I agree with the restaurant assessment. I enjoy eating a meal that I cook at home more than just about anything I could get at a restaurant. I enjoy the process of cooking the meal...

I look at that picture of the fish and I see why you ask that but I didn't glaze it with anything. I just marinated in a little bit of olive oil and champagne wine vinegar and then sprinkled on a lil bit of my Wild Citrus seasoning and that's it. Put it on a hot grill 1 minute, flip, one minute and repeattwice again.That's it!
Man! That was some good eatin' last night. My wife is in Houston and saw the pictures. Her response was "I hope you've got leftovers."
She'll be disappointed because there ain't any! Lol... I guess I'll be doing this again soon.
