Summer, and the Living is Easy?

I've been off work a week. Well done with classroom teaching anyway. I don't feel like I've been off work though. Rob has had some kind of horrible crud this last weekend. He's at work today, but missed work yesterday. He hates to miss work so he was really sick.

Last night I did some grilling just so that I wouldn't have to clean up a lot of dishes. It was the aluminium foil meal on the grill last night.

Potatoes ala Grill Paquette

1/2 lb. of golden fingerling potatoes cut into small pieces
1 tsp of kosher salt
2 tbs of olive oil drizzled over the potatoes
1 tbs. of fresh lemon-thyme

Put all this on two squares of aluminium foil and seal it up. Put it on the grill for about 15 minutes.

Green Beans with Almonds and Garlic

Fresh Green Beans, about 3/4 of a pound, trimmed and washed
1.5 tsps of minced garlic
and 3 tbs. of slivered or sliced almonds

Again, put it into the foil and grill it about the same time as the potatoes. Please make sure you are careful, the almonds and the green beans will burn if you don't turn it frequently.

Salmon

1 nice salmon fillet. Not a steak, but a fillet.
lemon pepper
lemon thyme
1 tsp. of olive oil

I grilled the salmon on the grill. Cover the salmon with the olive oil, and then grind the lemon pepper onto both sides. Cook until done and then cover with lemon thyme.
