Can you believe that it’s almost Memorial Day weekend? It seems like just yesterday we were wishing people a “Happy New Year” or giving out Valentine’s Day Cards. Time flies way too quickly.
We’ve already had our first barbecue of the season two weeks ago. My husband was especially excited. He LOVES barbecued hamburgers.
I wish we were allowed to have barbecues in our condo complex. Thanks to the foolish act of a resident (he put out a lit cigarette in a flower pot with a dried up flower inside), the Fire Marshall banned barbecues from our balconies too. We can have one but it has to be 200′ from the building. We live on a hill. Two hundred feet would put us in the parking lot. I’m pretty sure our neighbors wouldn’t want us barbecuing by their cars.
My husband loves to barbecue hamburgers and hot dogs at my father’s house. I wish we could barbecue other items like fish and chicken. If I had a barbecue I would use it all the time in nice weather and grill so much more than just burgers and hot dogs.

Mmmm… I LOVE corn on the cob. I’ve never cooked it on the grill before. Nothing says summer more than piping hot corn on the cob dripping with butter. Yum! Now I’m craving some. Maybe I’ll head to the farm after I post this and get some corn.
Never in a million years would I think to grill lobster. I love lobster. I like it more when someone else makes it for me. None the less this recipe sounds oh-so-good.
