Grilled Corn-on-the-Cob with BBQ sauce

Once again this is from the Neeley's on the Food Channel. Slathered the corn with canola oil and salt and peppered. Then grilled for 2 minutes on each side. Covered with BBQ sauce and grilled again. It was fabulous, but don't need the BBQ sauce. They suggest that you make your own BBQ sauce with everything in the refrigerator door. I used a cheap store bought sauce with lots of high fructose corn syrup. Don't do that again. Corn on the cob is in season and cheap right now.
Anna and I watched "Julia and Julie" again tonight, such a great film. I am encouraged once again to try "Boeuf Bourguignon" (Beff Stew in Red Wine, wtih Bacon, onions and Mushrooms). I will let you know when I get up the nerve to try it.

We went by The Pandhandler on the square in Granbury this afternoon and bought some coffee. They are getting some Texas olive oil in October. I can't wait to try it.

Jamaican Tomato Mango Salad

I watched the Neeley's on the Food Channel Saturday morning and they had this recipe. I made it yesterday and was not impressed but Anna and I added juice from 1/2 lemon and another can of black beans and it was good. Check out the Neeley's at www.mrandmrst.com

1 mango diced
1 15 oz can of black beans (we added a second)
1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/4 cup olive oil (I bought California instead of Italian)
juice of 2 limes (we added juice of 1/2 lemon)
1/2 red onion chopped
1/2 jalapenoe (seeded)
1/4 cup of cilantro (I ommitted this as I don't care for it)

Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate for one hour

I am still working on Cariberrean flavor that I had in Belize last October. I will let you know about that.

Not many posts recently because I had 15 second cameo appearance at The Granbury Opera House for "The Sunshine Boys" for seven performances. I will do better now.
