July Time to Renew Summer Romance

Now that Graduations and June Weddings have taken place. It’s time for fun and sun at your favorite Beach, Lake or Park. If Boating is your thing, it’s time to shine it up and clean those sails and Motor. Get ready for a great fun summer.

Maybe your favorite place is right in your own back yard. Cleaning the BBQ grill is a must. Now you’re ready for those great family, friends, or neighborhood gatherings. Even a romantic dinner for two can be special at home in your yard or patio this July. Send the children to Grandma and Grandpa’s for a night. It will do wonders for a summer balmy evening together.
Start your evening with a great summer cocktail or chilled white wine. Don’t forget a candle or candle arrangement for that table center piece and to set the right atmosphere. Next a salad served in halved pineapple, in each half; arrange six chilled shrimp, 3 sliced strawberries, and a small scoop of crab meat drizzled with a sweet bottled salad dressing of your choice.  Enjoy the peace and quiet of the evening together.
While the grill is getting hot, dry rub two N.Y. Strip Steaks with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Place the meat aside till grill is ready. In a bowl or plastic bag put in one red, yellow & orange peppers cut in fourths. Also one large sweet onion, one medium Zucchini and one small eggplant all cut into serving size pieces. Pour ½ bottle of balsamic vinaigrette dressing over all and marinate for 20 min.
One or two large potatoes that have been partially boiled cut into fours. Rubbed with garlic and olive oil. Place the veggies on med hot grill together using foil. Cover; check for doneness every 15 min.  Remove when done to a warm plate and set aside.
Now for those wonderful  N.Y. Strips, place them on the grill and cook to your desired temperature.
This is an easy meal with little preparing time which leaves more time for romance.  Add a great after dinner wine and sit back together to watch the fireflies.
Save a little energy for a great little desert later of cut up cold fruit with a splash of a favorite dessert wine.

Enjoy your summer and a romantic evening for two.
