| Barbequed Pizza |

As you can tell, we're big fans of pizza, especially thin crust ones. For a while now, I've read about and have been wanting to make barbequed pizza. I wouldn't dare attempt it on our old barbeque lest the pizzas end up in an inferno! Now that we have a Weber and precise temperature control and few flare ups, I thought I'd give it a shot.
Preparation was quick and overall cooking time on the grill was about 10 minutes. Quicker than our conventional oven and it kept our place cool! The crust wasn't quite as crisp as using a pizza stone in the oven, but overall it was worth it!

| Lemongrass Porkchops revisited |

To celebrate the arrival of our new Weber barbeque, we grilled up a Vietnamese style meal. One of our bbq items was lemongrass chicken. I was looking for the flavour similar to the lemongrass chicken dishes that we eat at local Vietnamese restaurants which is slightly different from our previously posted lemongrass pork (or chicken) recipe.
So this is my newest version of lemongrass pork. I used powdered dried lemongrass, which gave it the same flavour as what's served in local restaurants. But for the superpurist, by all means use fresh lemongrass!

This looks to be an excellent, succinct guide to eating sushi (something which along with a yoga studio seems to be on every corner in Vancouver these days!). Check it!

| Grilled Bananas |

For Cristina's birthday lunch yesterday, I wanted to make a simple yet flavourful dessert and I remembered seeing this recipe for bananas grilled in their peels on the Food Network.
There couldn't be an easier dessert with so much flavour! I brushed the seared bananas with honey and Grand Marnier (instead of rum) and decreased the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon. Grilling the bananas intensified their flavour and the honey glaze caramelized into a lovely sauce. Great served with French vanilla ice cream!
