what? more bbq? yea, more bbq.

sometimes the ideas that pop into my head are just so freakin' brilliant i can't believe i thought of them on my own. this particular idea just jumped into my cranium and ended up sounding like this when it came out of my mouth... "hey, wanna bbq again?" genius.

as my friend and i left work to go to our apartment (yes the same friend as last time. she's lucky.) we stopped at the store to gather our supplies, then i prepped at my place.

first, i sliced up some zucchini and brushed them with olive oil on both sides and sprinkled with some good ol' S&P (salt & pepper, stupid).


then, cut up my peppers and tossed them in the same, very complicated, oil/salt/pepper concoction and slid them onto skewers (soak your sticks in water so they don't catch on fire and look super ugly).


now, for the salmon... i just decided to make some stuff up. so i took some brown sugar and kind of used it as a dry rub on the fish. then sprinkled the top with sliced almonds and brushed some maple syrup on top to kind of form a glaze to keep the almonds in place.


and you can't forget dessert. it's the most important meal of the day (what?). i took some banaynays and sliced them down the middle like i was performing open-heart surgery.


after that... I STUFFED THOSE SUCKERS FULL OF CHOCOLATE!


now everything was all set to bring down...


i laid the strips of zucchini on the grill first, because there's another step for these puppies.


then i tossed on the kabobs and salmon. the salmon i wrapped in foil because i didn't want to flip it with the almonds and i was afraid i was going to lose all the syrupy goodness to the coals. next time i do this i'll probably do it in the oven so i can broil the top and get the almonds nice and toasty and a serious glaze going on. MEANWHILE, i sprinkled some feta (seasoned or not.. i chose seasoned) along the strips and rolled them up until they looked super sweet.


when the kabobs were done... i took them off.


then... i did the same with the salmon...


now, for those nanners. i wrapped them in tin foil (that's why the tin foil was in the picture with them earlier. muahaha) grilled them til the choco was all melted and the outside was pretty dark.


then i topped with whipped cream and ate with a spoon right out of the peel! so delish.


well... i'm gonna go write another post because i made something else and i just can't space them out. AAHHHHH!!! SHE'S A MAD WOMAN WITH NO SELF CONTROL!!!
