Boogie-Down BBQ

I'm sizzlin'.
Is there anything better than gorging on copious quantities of freshly barbequed meats? I doubt it.

Even though I've been struck down with a dreaded summer cold, I dragged myself off to my beautiful Bronx buddy's much anticipated barbeque yesterday. Worth it? Totally! Three drumsticks, a hot dog (Yes, I finally got one!), an ear of grilled corn, several globs of guac, a mountain of macaroni salad, numerous watemelon chunks and one rib later and I could still go for some more bbq. Sigh.

Living in an apartment, I rarely get the chance to grill anything. Anyone out there have any tips for getting great grill flavor in the confines of the great indoors?

The Simple Joys in the Meal of Life

Hahaha! I know, I know. That title is a clunker. Apologies.

Seriously, though, I was just snacking on a bowl of instant noodle soup that really hit the spot and it struck me - no matter what other options you have available, sometimes you just want that damn bowl of instant ramen. Even after a "famous," "gourmet" burger dinner, the ramen was somehow just what I needed.

Slurpin'

...On that train of thought, the "simple" slushie treat I had today from the Kelvin Natural Slush Co. truck really hit the spot, too. Natural, grown-up flavored slush? Yes, please! I wish that there were more Kelvin trucks around. (Ahem! Queens!) My ginger slush with white peach puree mixed in was far more refreshing and satisfying than the milkshake I had with dinner. Kelvin may have convinced me that slush should be my summer treat of choice. [However, to be fair to the shakes of the world, I have to admit that I didn't think that the milkshake in question was a good representative of milkshake-kind as a whole. It was too thin and was not cold enough.]

Hey, it took a lot of frozen treat fuel to score a shot like this, okay!?


And no, your eyes did not deceive you. I did have both a milkshake and a slush in the same evening.

That's how I roll.


But don't worry, I waddled off all the calories on the Highline. Plus, I shared with BF.
