Skewered to Death


It has been a while since i've had the time and photos to update our meek little blog here. What better theme for a comeback than death by kabob night?

Simple intention and intense execution are good descriptions of the evening's events.
While we merely asked that folks would bring a kabob item, everyone went out of their way to make something at least a step up from the classic arrangements expected.

As seen in the plate photo up top there were several pleasantly surprising combinations. I may not get all of them right but i can stand to be corrected later.

My kabob: portabella wrapped with rubbed flat iron steak

Kitty kabob: a crazy ass meatloaf like item (which was very tasty)

Jay kabob: spicy marinated chicken with zucchini squash

Sarah kabob: shrimp with roasted beet and onion (also pan seared halloumi bites)

Patty kabob: marinated pork and peaches (that shit was the bomb), sweet potato kabobs

Beth kabob: brussel sprout garlic clove and new potato

Chavis: strawberry stracciatella ice cream - no skewered, obviously.

also Matt made couscous for folks to pile their kabobs on which worked out well. Gavon dutifully manned the grill, suffering singed fingers and possibly black lung as a result. But it sure was tasty! Thanks, Gavon!

Here is a photo or two of the insanity....

Great post, my dear. I would add that we were quite well-behaved at the vacation house and didn't destroy anything except for the mysterious shattered glass. Go team!
