Got me a real man's bbq the other day. Someone else got shoes, but me, I get grill. We built it yesterday and grilled up some veggies and fish. And today, I got some cool grill toys. Send the marinade recipes now!
Oh and mark the calendars for Brettenium VIII. Those of you in the know know when it shall be.

Oooohh - marinades.
They're easy if you follow a basic ratio:
3 parts flavorful liquid, 2 parts sweetener, 2 parts acid, 1 part oil (if needed for veggies; can go less here) Then add in seasonings, mustards, or other pastes.
Like this:
Soy sauce+honey+lemon juice+toasted sesame oil - great on grilled veggies or fish
Leftover wine+maple syrup+balsamic vinegar+olive oil (plus rosemary, sage, thyme and a shot of honey mustard) for chicken or pork. (If I don't have wine I'll just up the balsamic, which I really like on grilled veggies as well.)
I also do pastes for marinading - blend your fresh herbs together in a green paste, mix with some acid & a little oil, rub it all over your meat/fish, and let sit.
Finally - I'm a huge fan of two spice mixes from Trader Joe's: 21 seasoning salute and their steak/chop spice mix.
welcome to the world of propane!
my default marinade is great on salmon: tamari, rice wine vinegar, garlic and ginger, and a little honey. if you have ginger garlic paste, even better.
I vicariously live in Portland through you. Is that creepy? What's going on these days?
Throw me a bone! : )
