If it’s Sunday night, it’s Cookout Time! :)
Tonight, after a stint at the gym for LeeLee and a dip in the community pool for me, we cracked open a homebrew and lit up the grill for a farmer’s market feast. I sliced a zucchini and a yellow squash (purchased at Wednesday’s farmer’s market on my way home from work), mixed them together in two foil packets (along with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder), and threw them on the grill for half an hour or so, while the tater tots baked inside and the Devil Beans that LeeLee procured from the farmer’s market yesterday warmed on the stove. (I’d just like to add that I recognize the Devil Beans are a little more expensive than our usual fare, but I’ve gotta tell you, it was worth every penny. God bless Miss Kitty and her farm stand! :))
A little closer to time, I put two veggie burgers on to warm up, and nearer still to serving, I put two buns atop the grates to toast. The final result? A great Sunday night meal that left us full and lingering on the patio for another hour or more.
The stats:
Veggie burgers: $3.50/four ($0.88/person)
Buns: $0.99/eight ($0.12/person)
Onion: $0.50 ($0.25/person)
Tomato: $1.00 ($0.50/person)
Squash: $2.50/five ($0.50/person)
Devil Beans: $6.00 ($3.00/person)
Tater tots: $3.00 ($0.75/person)
GRAND TOTAL: $17.49 … or $6.00 per person.
