The last package of pork chops from our freezer pig, brined in sugar and salt and grilled over charcoal. Broccoli rabe from Dunbar Gardens, sauteed in lots of olive oil with sliced garlic and red chile. Soft polenta with butter and parmesan. A quiet evening and a half bottle of Shooting Star Lemberger left over from the night before. The beginning of summer.
Food on the Brain 
That looks scrumptious: And check out those perfectly executed grill marks!
This will be a summer for the history books, I can already tell. (Best Summer Ever 2011 starts now.)
I was highly impressed by those grill marks as well.
I don’t personally have any expectations for Best Summer Ever, we’re aiming more for “survivable”. But here’s hoping yours is amazing!
