Love Thursday: Love in the Grilled Pollo
I love grilled food. Any kind of meat, vegetables, even fruit…grilled pineapple anyone?
P and I don’t have a *real* grill quite yet, but our little contraption works just fine, and we’ve been using the heck out of it this summer. P, of course, is the Grill Master, while I prep anything not made over the coals like salad and bread and take care of tasks such as setting the table, keeping the wine glasses filled, etc.
I love the flow of activity on grill nights as we each perform our assigned tasks separately but in perfect concert, each contributing to the finished product little by little until we finally sit down to enjoy the feast.
There’s always such a handsome reward after all that prep, and it’s made all the better when P brings the plate of ali di pollo (chicken wings) to the table and announces:
“Guarda il cuore!”
Look at the heart!
I also love when P implores me to get the camera for a Love Thursday post.
Happy Love Thursday everyone!
P.S. No, this isn’t my official O Food Contest contribution, although it could be since pollo ends in O! What are you making? Remember you have until 28 September to get those recipes in!

I love that P gets as involved in your blog posts as G does in mine! And grilled food is yummy, sometimes it’s the best way to bring out a flavor.
Absolutely; some things really just do taste better grilled 😀

guarda il cuore indeed!!
Yeah I bet he never imagined he’d be looking for hearts in things 😉

I, too, love just about anything that’s grilled. It looks like P has real talent with the grill! I’m actually the grillmaster here, but maybe we suffer for it?
Loved the chicken wing heart!
I’m happy P does the grill; I’ve never experimented with it, and I’m fine with that 😉

Beautiful! Now I’m hungry. I could go for some grilled chicken right now…even though it’s only 7:30 and I’m drinking my first coffee of the day. Still. DELICIOUS!
Happy Love Thursday!

I’ve got a GF grill but have to confess, I’m not terribly creative with it. Marinated chicken tenders is about my limit. Do you suggest a recipe sight? I’d like to get more variation going.
I haven’t played around with grilling recipes either; we just normally do sausage, hot dogs, chicken…and roasted peppers of course 🙂
