Memorial Day - Part 2 (Picnic)

One week later, and I finally get around to this:

We had the best picnic on Memorial Day. It was an ordinary menu - ribs, dogs, burgers, 'tato salad, beans, grilled veggies, etc.

Thing is, Caroline wasn't feeling well, and I am not into this grilling business, especially things like - ribs?

But lookee:

Here's my marinade recipe. Easy to make. Do not measure (I didn't):

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2-3 tablespoons minced onion
• 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2-3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/8 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (I'm not rich, so I used 1 teaspoon dried)
• 1/3 cup olive oil

Marinate as long as you like - 2 to 24 hours - and take out of the fridge about an hour before you cook it.

That's it!

Oh, and the veggies - yellow squash, onion, green beans, and a few spices "grilled" in a pan in a little olive oil:

More drawings. Believe me, I never know what's going to happen when I put pen to paper!!
