The kiddies went back to school today, and according to Younger Daughter some sort of tradition exists where I am required to BBQ on both the first and last days of school. Not being one to mess with tradition (well, at least not too much) I fired up Bubba Ho-Keg and on went the burgers and grill fries.
The burgers were a last-minute substitution for a meal to be cooked on another day. Apparently turmeric is a required ingredient for “real” satay, so tonight we had to settle for this since my spice cabinet doesn’t normally include things like that.
No complaints were registered about the meal, and it managed to get cooked between rain showers. I get the feeling we are in for a colder and wetter winter this year. Good thing I have plenty of charcoal put aside in the garage…

Looks good to me!
Almanac says it will be brutal cold this winter here (Massachusetts) but not too much snow. I hate the cold.
It doesn’t generally get as cold here as it does where you live, but the cold and snow only inspires me to go outdoors and cook.
I’m funny that way…
All of this “back to school” stuff throws me off because our kids have been back in school for two full weeks now.
But burgers and fries are always a great last minute replacement when you find turmeric eludes you. Of course once you have a jar, you won’t need it again until 2 months past the expiration date.
The schools here all seem to start at different times based on the district. We have some that have been in for two weeks, others for a week, and the rest finally started this week.
We finally got a jar of turmeric, and I’ll just have to make satay more often. Darn…
