Dinner Tonight

Have I mentioned that I love love LOVE grilling season?

Tonight’s menu:

• Appetizers — Vermont extra-sharp cheddar cheese on Ritz reduced-fat crackers (’cause I was really starving when I was preparing dinner!); grilled avocadoes (Julia’s recipe)
• Main course — Zucchini and summer squash sautéed with onion and butter (OK, I use margarine); grilled teriyaki chicken breast (marinated in this stuff for 30 minutes or so, the longer the better)
• Dessert — Breyer’s neopolitan (almost got Edy’s, but Breyer’s has the really good vanilla bean vanilla ice cream)

Loved the cheese ’n’ crackers. So-so on the grillt avocadoes; I still prefer ’em plain and cut up in a salad (baby spinach, sliced avocadoes, sliced mushrooms and ranch dressing ... preferably the kind you mix up yourself) or in guacome. Squash and chicken were divine, as was the ice cream.

All in all, a tasty, satisfying holiday meal.
