Matthew and Gina came over to our house today to join Char and me for a cookout. Unfortunately, it was a bit cool to eat outdoors, so although we cooked on the grill, we ate indoors.

We had locally grown corn that Char cooked on the grill in the husks. Matthew made small stuffed bell peppers that were done on the grill, too. We also had grilled hamburgers.

For dessert, it was Butterfinger ice cream on top of fudge brownies. And, yes, the brownies were done on the grill, too! Due to a technical malfunction with the oven when the brownies were ready to be baked, a last minute decision was made to try baking them on the grill. And, they were delicious!

It seems as though I’ll be shopping for a new oven in the very near future.

Matthew's stuffed bell peppers were very tasty!

Just about everything tastes better with Old Bay on it, and corn on the cob is one of those items.
