I was invited by the lovely Kathy over at StartCooking.com to attend a sneak preview showing of the Warner Brothers movie “No Reservations” last night in Boston. As you may or may not know, Catherine Zeta-Jones is the lead with Aaron Eckhart as her sous chef, literally. Let me just say right off, I could watch...

Yummmm, you know you love grilling, especially when certain vegetables like asparagus are so fresh. Its also nice to stand outside and cook instead of at the same old stove. Fresh air, fresh food, the quiet of the backyard, cant get better than that. What CAN get better is my technique and grilling know-how....
