Some Favorites...
I love my grill and use it nearly daily. Although not in the same league as TS, here are some of my favorite grill meals:
* Rack of lamb w/garlic/olive oil/basil pesto; asparagus spears and sweet red peppers; fresh tomato slices w/balsamic vinegar, basil, and feta cheese; Bogle Petit Shiraz wine.
* Chicken kabobs w/onions and sweet peppers; Texas Basmati rice w/mango salsa; Chateau Montelena chardonnay wine.
* NY Strip w/black bean and mango salad; Cardinal Zin Gnarly Old Vine zinfandel.
* Salmon seasoned w/lemon pepper; asparagus spears; toasted California sourdough w/brushed garlic, tomato bruschetta, and basil pesto; Lynmar chardonnay wine.
I love my grill and life is good...and if it takes more than an hour to fix, I'm going out for dinner.

Nice work; especially the racks of lamb, not an easy grill item. Are they American lamb?

Next time you're out this way, I'll grill - but you have to promise not to be too critical of my technique. 
I'm sorry I'll miss your gathering at Bragg.

One thing I notice immediately, in contrast to supposed experts on the tube, is that - even given the elegantly simple presentation that says "I've worked hard and will have some of the finer things because I earned them, and am quite willing to make them myself" - the PORTIONS are eatable by real people. Cooked, camera-ready, and then consumed. Anything less is bait.
The talent here sparks the imagination.
Muchas gracias, the pound cake & peaches can wait.

Pizzeria Bianco now has extended hours, and it is easy to get in. Chris Bianco is no longer there, the chef from "Monte Lucia" is working with him, as well as Chris's brother Marco (who always did the bread/dough).
As for "FnB" - I'm going there for my birthday celebration on 7/21. If you want space at the bar to watch chef Charleen Badman work her magic, let me know. I'd consider it an honor for you to be there.

Baby backs, potato salad and beer.
Flatiron steak with a Southwest rub, grilled Olathe corn and Little Penguin Syrah.
Mesquite smoked Salmon, garlic mashed potatoes and Adelsheim Pinot Noir.
I must stop now as I'm salivating all over the keyboard

Seems as if we were all influenced by years of eating C's, LRRPs, and MREs...and have made a firm commitment to never eat lousy food again! Grill heil!

Richard, we grill asparagus fairly often also, and a friend clued me in on a technique to make the job a bit easier--skewer a bunch of spears side by side a couple inches from the top and a couple from the bottom (2 skewers). It makes turning to cook evenly on both sides a snap.
