So you generally feed about 25 people? I also love that holder. I had a great one for ribs till someone tossed it. I need to find another plus something like what you have for the legs. I also noticed that lump charcoal, way to go.

Doing the chicken on the grill but this is the salad for dinner tonight. The dressing is really good, my boss turned me onto this one.

With the help of Amazon and Cuisinart I ordered a rack to hold things from ribs to legs on the grill. Thank you cmartinez for reminding me I needed a new one.

"Seared chicken, fresh mozzarella and tomato halves, creamy avocado slices and shredded basil leaves are drizzled with an incredible balsamic dressing that doubles as a marinade for the ultimate salad"!

That has to be absolutely great. Sliced grilled chicken, mozzarella fresca, and avocado with anything balsamic has to be nothing but good to the maximum. It's like ensalada caprese with added good stuff.

Just trying to stay heart healthy, I'm a rib, ribeye, bloody meat eater, my go to food stuff is to eat the fatty, I like skin on the chicken, plus eat fatty meatier parts kind of guy. I eat while stressed, happy, sad, angry, etc. Basically, not vegetarian but enjoy veggies with my meatier parts. I can give or take bread not a fanboy. This is my food last night I had 2 bowls. I want it again tonight, I can still taste it, the caramelization of the brown sugar from the Marinade was incredible. Trust me it's so good, the fresh Basil popped in my mouth didn't even realize how good it would be.

You ate 2 bowls of those ??
I can hardly eat one bowl.

I must have not eaten lunch or something which I will do often while busy doing things and such. Normally like you I can only handle one bowl. At my age I'm like you I don't eat a lot anymore like I use too. I use to work out, weight lift, Kung-fu, yard work etc, lately I'm mostly watching TV, I need to get off my lazy butt and finish the sprinkler system I started 2 years ago.

Edit: I did finish the addition to my driveway last summer.

Years ago I could woof down piles of food and my metabolism took care of it. Today at 68 I have noticed while my appetite is still good my portions are smaller. Maybe over the past five years. I am actually finding myself looking at senior menus in restaurants. I also tend to grill smaller portions unless the kids and grand kids are over.

And I'm only 53, but if I eat anything after 9:00 pm, I'll pay for it with heartburn all night long.

Oh yeah, I've been to school on that also.

I have to eat by 5pm or so, last night my wife had me up past my normal bed time 9:30 or so. I don't make it past the news, for some reason I was able to be up till 12:30 very rare, I ate some left over food from the mall, of course not spicy mostly veggies and chicken.
I understand many cultures will be up socializing till late in the night, eating is a part of it. I spoke to a girl from Spain who told me people will stay up late in the night eating and drinking. I'm not sure how many other countries do this?

Do people in Mexico gather late at night to socialize?

Living in Italy it was very much like Spain. Lunch is a mild snack followed by an afternoon siesta and a late dinner around 9:00 PM which is a heavy meal. Good thing I was young when I lived there.

oh yeah ... lots of times ... i.e., my group of friends and I traditionally get together on thursday nights. We normally start at 8:00 p.m. and keep going until 11:00 or so, and this is nowadays. In the old days, when we were much younger, we'd easily keep partying until 2:00 a.m.!

Thats what she said now that I think of it. It was about having many small meals throughout the day and into the night. I don't nap easily, when I do it means I'm sick or other issues back problems keeping me up and such.

I use JML. My mom gave it to me as a gift. I use it for my chicken tapa, grilled cheese, chicken bbq etc, on my stove top. Seriously.

In Buenos Aires all people you find in restaurants ready to eat at 19.30 or 20 hours, are foreigners or local ones needing to get up extremely early. The crowd starts coming around 21 hours.

In Puerto Madryn, a restaurant made easy to cope with that, staying open from 11.30 straight until 00.30. Pity is that the worst cooks work in the less crowded periods.

This stuff is quite impressive, there are a few different names it is marketed under.

I've also done that and ordered an appetizer as my meal. Years ago I had a voracious appetite but now an appetizer is a meal.
