“He was standing beside a barbecue grill” my brother told me. How appropriate. While my mother was the everyday cook, my Dad was the holiday cook in our family- not only Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, but the summer holidays, too- Memorial Day, the 4th of July and Labor Day. I like to think the holiday cooking gave him an outlet to be creative and nurturing away from the marketplace he left our home to enter every morning. While I cooked along side my father at Christmas and Thanksgiving, I don’t remember ever barbecuing with him. That was his domain. I jump at chances to man the grill, now, though. It’s a truism, of course, that men love to barbecue, so I offer this simple marinade recipe in honor of my father, and all the other weekend barbecue nurturers out there- and their daughters. ~~~~~~~~~ Marinade for Grilled Meats I‘ve used this recipe for both flank steak and butterflied leg of lamb. It’s perfect for those, and I’m other cuts of meat. ½ Cup Olive Oil Pound the Red Pepper Flakes and Garlic to a Paste with a Mortar and Pestle. Brush the meat and grill with a teaspoon of oil and cook over hot coals. Enjoy! ***********************
