When I found out that my wife wanted to cook a big meal of assorted sea foods I intervened and suggested a simpler fare. Grilled Burgers and fries!
We can and do eat well a lot and I just wanted today to be a day not entwined with cooking and cleaning and overeating. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy those types of good meals but I just wanted an uncomplicated meal today with my family.
Today's version of burgers were made with salsa mixed into the meat. No other seasoning just the salsa. This makes for a juicy and tasty burger. Sides were seasoned french fries and something I didn't expect. Usually we make these as wontons but today my daughter made them as egg rolls. They are made with crawfish, cheese, peppers, onions breadcrumbs and other good stuff. I dropped these into the deep fryer and they were done in under two minutes.
Waiting and getting the Keg hot.

Getting hot around the grill I needed something cold to quench my thirst.

I enjoyed my Father's Day meal tremendously and so did everyone else.

Some of the gifts from my children. Nice score if I may say so.
Silicone bottles for saucing on the grill, a one gallon jug dispenser for tea that I love, a gift card for an oil and vinegar specialty shop and stainless steel oyster shells for char grilling oysters on the half shell without the real shells. I love them all but especially the shells. I guess that seed planting a couple of weeks ago took. Lol......
