I know that sometime in January, I’ll think back on those balmy days of summer – but right now I’m thinking it’s enough already. The last couple of days have been long. I can’t seem to get out of work before 7 PM – and it’s hot.
For what seems like the first time this month (I think it’s really the 
second), there was a little relief to the heat. This morning it finally rained – but by mid-afternoon, it was sunny and humid again. By the time I got out of work it was really hot and I didn’t want to turn on the oven at home. It was also late, so I wanted something fast and easy. Back to the BBQ!
A simple veal rib chop – seasoned with nothing but fresh black pepper and course salt. Grilled until just pink inside. I checked the fridge for something to go with it and found some summer (yellow) squash and cool purple/green onions that I forgot I picked up this weekend. I mixed up some olive oil, chopped basil, garlic, salt and pepper, brushed all the vegetables with the mix and they went on to the grill with the chops.
I’m not generally a veal fan – I usually find it bland and would rather have beef or lamb. But this was good. Simple, quick and dinner on my table in about 20 minutes.
