Grilled doughnuts? *sigh* My "healthier eating through grilling* option just drove off to Krispy Creme.

Barakku		2011-03-12 10:40:29 AM

I expected a list full of fail, but quesadillas are awesome. The lettuce sounds good too. The rest? Do not want

Forbidden Doughnut		2011-03-12 10:43:00 AM

If it weren't for the pineapple, I wouldn't mind trying the grilled doughnuts...

I see nothing that unusual. But then again I think I could deep fry or grill anything.

whatshisname		2011-03-12 10:44:33 AM

I think grilled soup would be good.
I like a challenge.

1. Quesadilla
Ingredients:
1 whole-wheat wrap
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 egg
2 egg whites
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 thick slice of bacon, well-cooked and crumbled into bits

Well quesadillas are not unusual, but that is not a quesadilla. I stopped reading there.

This doesn't mean you can't ALSO grill steak.

Grilling would be awesome if it wasn't for the grill snob that always shows up and acts like they got their phd in cooking meat, then invariably asks if you would like them to take charge since they've "done a lot of grilling".

I've made Chocolate Chip Cookies on the grill.
A grill with the lid down, is an oven.

I'm a lazy farker, so I'm HAPPY to let someone else grill. In fact, I can't remember the last time I threw a BBQ and actually maned the grill myself.

My Mom's grilled, BBQ chicken. She makes the sauce with bourbon and brown sugar.

It's written in the man code somewhere that you never touch another man's grill just like you'd never touch his wife.

Unless he asks you to. Then it's okay. On both accounts.

I hate that guy.

As for the article, I'd give the mussels a try. The rest? Meh.

And the Pound Cake on the grill.. you can put pans on the grill rack and bake the whole thing on it.
Store bought and put on the rack? Totally novice.

Grill, shmill. I'm smoking a ten pound turkey today. Yeah, I know; keeping it lit will be a pain...

This reminds of me of a childhood memory where at the tailgate at a football game, my dad's friend valiantly defended his grill with his spatula against those (the women from their office) who wanted to "profane" his grill by wanting their veggie burgers cooked on it.

/meat goes on the grill

Word. The only reason I read TFA was to see the grilled pizza mentioned in the teaser. I feel cheated.

It's the only way I can get little Kaeghtlynne to eat her vegetables. I feel I'm doing her a huge favor by just letting her be who she wants to be. Her peers will surely respect that individuality in the years to come.

madgonad		2011-03-12 10:59:21 AM

Lame list, and WTF with the poundcake and doughnuts.

The following routinely appear on my grill
Asparagus
Corn
Sliced sweet potato
Long slices of pineapple
Jalapenos

All with varying amounts of preparation/modification.

/don't worry, there is ALWAYS meat on the grill too

That Guy in the Dos Equis Commercials		2011-03-12 10:59:36 AM

I grill all sorts of things besides meat, but everything on the list sounds like shiat.

Why so nice? I'd cut them apart with my knife and grill the pieces.

/we are so farked

Take half a romaine lettuce heart, drizzle it with olive oil and some s&p . . . . char it up really well.

Then serve that with a fat tuna or salmon steak off the grill . . . top it with some sort of vinaigrette or butter sauce . . . .

the point is you use the lettuce as a side, not the main course.

GBB		2011-03-12 11:08:28 AM

A friend of mine grilled a cake once. She went through the entire process to bake it before discovering the oven was shot. So they fired up the grill, put the cake in a disposable aluminum pan and had at it. It turned out pretty damn good.

Well quesadillas are not unusual, but that is not a quesadilla. I stopped reading there.

a quesadilla is a tortilla shell folded in half and fried, after filling with cheese and other favorite toppings.

just because you have your own definition, doesn't mean this isn't, by REAL definition.

I make a killer breakfast quesadilla.
tortilla shell
cheese
onion
bacon
chorizo sausage
scrambled egg
served with hot salsa and a dollop of sour cream

/Why the fark did you serve me a plate of trash?

Because they actually dropped it in the mud, then decided to roll it in garbage to cover up the mud taste?

If you want unusual, try lobster. And I don't mean tails, or precooked or anything like that.

dholway		2011-03-12 11:12:08 AM

FTA: "Grill cut side down until...the [lettuce] cores are crisp-tender"

Why not just cook them til they're hot-cold or hard-soft?

Summer Glau's Love Slave		2011-03-12 11:12:22 AM

I tried to grill salmon once. I guess I did it wrong.

/The dog wouldn't eat it.

I grill salmon all the time. A little salt, pepper, and dill, then rub a little olive oil on it so it doesn't stick. Grill it until it just starts to flake. If the skin is on, grill it hot enough to crisp the skin and it just slides right off.
