We’ve owned our home for a little over two years now and one thing that we’ve realized is with home ownership, the projects never end. It’s going to take a long time, but one room at a time, we’re making the house nicer. Yesterday was spent focused on the master bath. It went like this:
• paint
• watch True Blood (Season 4 finally on DVD) while paint dries
• paint
• watch True Blood
I can’t say it’s a bad way to spend a Saturday. After a while though, we got tired of paint and vampire kings and focused our attention on dinner. I’d bought some frozen swordfish at Trader Joe’s the other night and wanted to make skewers for the grill.
My friend Emily texted me around 5 asking what we were doing, so we invited her and her boyfriend Brian over to grill with us. We had drinks: watermelon mojitos and beer.
And for the main course, swordfish kebabs and chicken and bison burgers for Jason, Brian and Emily.
I was getting bitten up, so we moved inside to eat, but then headed back out for dessert: grilled nectarines. The picture doesn’t really do these any justice; they tasted like pie filling.
I’m so sad I’m out of rum right now, because I would definitely make a batch of watermelon mojitos. I do have some tequila though…
The last tenants at my apartment left their grill, but I’ve yet to use it (and I have no idea how to). Grilled nectarines sound like just the motivation I need to finally figure it out!
I actually don’t know how to use our grill either. Haha. Jason always does it.
I love to grill, eat swordfish and drink mojitos and this sounds like a perfect evening.
You know I love grilling!
Ohhh… I love grilled fruit. Peaches, nectarines, bananas, watermelon… I want a grill!!!
Love the glasses your drinks were served in! Good for you guys redoing your bath – I can’t wait to see pics of the finished project .
Oh yeah…our project list is never ending! Unfortunately most of my house projects are our of budget right now…hello…kitchen redo. Sigh…one day!
Looks like a great barbecue. Swordfish skewers sound fab!
any bathroom pics??
OMG grilled fruit is SO good! that looks divine!
We had a little…issue..with the bathroom. See my twitter feed for a pic. Ugh.
watermelon mojitos sound amazing! so do grilled peaches… and kabobs… and a weekend of true blood… do you guys want to adopt me?
Oh! Grilled swordfish skewers- what a great idea! I find that TJs frozen fish is really hit or miss.
