 Av> OK that's it I'm coming over for dinner, you free next Saturday?

I can tell you what I did last Saturday, as what was suposed to be a quiet
meal for the two of us attracted four additional once the word got out.

Main entre was Spiessbraten which is a seasoned rolled pork loin, which as I
do not have the traditional Spiessbraten swinging frame like you will see it
cooked in the Idar Oberstein area of Germany, was done on a pellet grill -
the wood smoke and indirect heat take it to another level.

Sides were a spring harvest salad, everything picked locally in the prior few
days, dressed with the very simply oil and vinigar with a bit of honey added
sort of spring dressing.  Mushroom gnocchi substituted for the more
traditional spaetzle, as I wanted to bring in the mushroom flavor.  Afters
was a rubarb & kumquat crumble.  

It wasn't quite nice enough to serve outside, but we did have an outstanding
showing of different birds at the feeders which impressed the group.  

Next weekend is likely to see Saturday away on an Island out in Lake
Michigan, and if things work out I intend to a brisket on the smoker pellet
grill we have there, which will run for some 7-8 hours cooking.  Sides will
depend on what is avaialable at the island's Farmers Market.  Several year
round and full season Island resident friends have said they will be there.

Always room for more!
