First I have a HUGE praise! My kiddies were playing in their little pool this morning and a 4-5' tree branch fell about 30' and hit the other side of the pool 1-2' from where they were playing! Thank you God for watching over them!
I like living in an area that has 4 seasons but summer time is my favorite! I think it's a combination of things like the smell and taste of bbq (it doesn't taste the same to me during the winter), the smell of a fresh mowed lawn, fireflies - our ALL time favorite, knowing when you get up in the a.m. you can dress like it's summer - no more sweatshirts on the 4th of July! (if you've lived in the Pacific Northwest - you know what I mean by this), the kiddie pool, the ice cream truck, and I could go on and on.
So I've decided to start some experimental cooking - well not really - just some new dishes for us. Last night was bbq'd spare ribs with a dry rub and sauce, baked potatoes, and broccoli. Tonight I'm trying bbq'd jerk chicken! I've been marinating the chicken since this a.m. and decided to give Tyler Florence's recipe a try. I'll report back.
It's been a few days since I've made my Jerk Chicken and I posted it on the comments but meant to add it here!
The recipe was actually really good! The taste wasn't what I expected - I think of Jerk chicken as more of a BBQ flavor but this was more spice. Not hot spicy - just a lot of spice flavor! So maybe I haven't been clear on Jerk Chicken flavor or maybe this is an offshoot of it. Either way - I'd definitely make it again!

Oh yum! That sounds totally delish. I can't wait to hear how it turned out. I wish we could bbq...but apartment living doesn't really allow for it. :( But, I love dressing for summer, too.
Branches like that are called Widow-Makers by the loggers in the northwest! Thank God the children weren't hurt!
And yes, I know exactly what you mean by having to wear a sweatshirt, or worse a raincoat, on the 4th of July!
Hope you guys have a wonderful summer and can't wait to hear more about what's happening with the family on the other coast! Please share your recipes!
