A case of mistaken identity turned out to be a winner!
I thought I bought my usual salmon fillet turned out to be Steelhead Trout.
Did it up the same way: lemongrass, cilantro, red chilis, green onion, ginger,
limes, olive oil, salt, freshly ground pepper,
and this time, I put lime leaves on the bottom so that it would infuse the fish as it cooked.
Done in foil and on the BBQ - 30 minutes!
No hint of fishiness as salmon sometimes gives.
Very happy with this "mistake", and it is cheaper!

.
.

A mix of vegetables for the BBQ:
cauliflower slices, red pepper, asparagus, zucchini, red onion,
all dosed with olive oil, salt and pepper.

.
.

All ready and eaten with snippets of fresh Thai basil from my "garden".
Our first meal outside, and it's the day after the wild thunderstorm of June 25, 2013!

ANOTHER rhubarb pie tonight!
This was made in my new pie plate from Kathy McDonald.
She is right: the bottom crust was "crispy" with just a couple of wet patches
because the juice ran down the side. It's a success!

.
..

Could hardly wait for it to cool down...Mmmmm...
Didn't need ice cream after all. Besides, we didn't have any ;-)

At last! Spice Goddess Sweet Potato Fries and Dip.
The sweet potato was dredged in cornstarch, deep fried,
then sprinkled with a mix of ground cardamom, smoked paprika
(I used Hungarian for the kick), salt.

grape seed oil, unsweetened coconut flakes, brown mustard seed, curry leaves
(I used fresh leaves), chili powder, ground coriander, mayonnaise...
