I always say, with a laugh, "I'll try anything grilled."

Directions:Grill ZUCCHINI, PEPPERS, ONIONS and EGGPLANT
Wash the zucchini and eggplant and slice them lengthwise. The slices should be about an 1/8 of an inch. Not too thin, or they will fall between the grill when cooking, and not too thick. The onion needs to be cut in quarters. You want to remove the papery covering from the onion, and cut in quarters leaving a little bit of the fuzzy root end on to keep the onion from falling apart. The peppers should be cut in half.
Place the vegetables in a large flat baking dish or cake pan. Sprinkle with sesame oil or olive oil and Adobo seasoning. (Goya foods makes this spice). Toss to cover all the veggies. Cover and let sit while you prepare the rest of the BBQ. If you don’t have Adobo salt and pepper will do.
Place the vegetables on the grill and cook until brown marks appear.
Chicken:
They say you should microwave the chicken first, especially if there are bones in the chicken. It cooks the inside a little, so that you ensure that the meat is cooked throughout. You can marinate with some sort of sauce for an hour or over night. If you use BBQ sauce brush on BBQ sauce near end of cooking. We only liked KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce (Original flavor)
Salmon: Take a piece of foil. Put salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil and lemon and make a pouch. Place the packet on the grill. Martha Stewart says never allow the foil to touch the food, so you can use parchment paper and foil. (Some connection between Alzheimer’s and aluminum)
Turkey breast:
This is great on the grill. Marinate in some sort of sauce and grill like chicken.
Steak:
Get a piece of LONDON BROIL. Season it with Montreal Steak Seasoning. YUM!
Tofu:
I marinated thick slices of tofu in thai peanut sauce and then grilled them a few minutes on each side to get the grill marks on them.
Pineapple and Peaches
You can also grill pineapple cut up in slices and peach halves, but it must be fresh pineapple.

One year we had a visitor, Nina Edge, from England, at the house. Nicole and I BBQ’ed all the time that summer. We cooked only meat! We used to laugh about it. It was then that I perfected my grilling techniques. Grill anything!
When I BBQ it is usually a big deal. Nicole and I used to try to light the fire without charcoal lighter and devise elaborate systems of burning chicken fat, newspaper, and various oils. But now I have a gas grill. If you still use charcoal, patience is the thing. Just wait until the coals are grey.
Don’t be stopped by the fact that you live in a city. Find a place where grilling is allowed, get a portable grill, and go some where like a park and grill.
Janine said the BBQ might appeal to the “black side” of the family.
When we lived in England I introduced BBQ-ing to the neighbourhood. People on the Wimpy Estate (the housing area where we lived was built by Wimpy Builders and hence known as a Wimpy Estate) thought that if you BBQ-ed you had to eat outside, and it always rains there so one was limited to the few dry days. I proved that BBQ can be done outside and taken inside to eat. We lived in England in 1983-84. When we visited Crewe in 1989 I swear people were BBQ-ing in the neighbourhood!
Fast forward to 2013: Andrew is the grilling guru, dad bought me a gas grill, Gia and Mischa moved to a place with a large back yard in Staten Island and I gave her grandma's little BBQ grill and Janine and Tom have a yard in Brooklyn to grill. So the grilling continues!

Here are some Yiddish words you should know:
Gantze knakr: a big shot. “The butcher acted like a gantzer knakr, flashing his roll of cash and buying everyone treats at the fair. He makes enough money to feel he is a gantzer knakr.
.........................................................................................................
Awn-ge pats-ket: over done, over decorated, cluttered, littered, disordered, sloppy. “Grandma and I went to a B and B in Cape May. She liked the room but found it a bit awn-ge pats-ket with all the lamps and mirrors and knick-nacks.
