Here are some from today's linner:

Grilled littleneck clams with garlic-butter sauce, we ate them right off the grate:

Big piece of striped bass, grilled with a garlic-mustard marinade:

Bluefish, in a chili-herb sauce, grilled on a cedar plank:

Sides were roasted onion-sour cream mashed potatoes, shredded summer squashes with thyme and lemon, and eggplant sticks.

And, just so you do not think John never gets red meat, here is the "steak" I made him Friday night. It was 3" thick and that is Cruz Bay grill rub all over it. (No, he did not eat it all!):

Yup, I did. We call Sunday meals "linner" because we only eat once, around 1-2 PM. So it is lunch and dinner both.

Come on..... I know people are cooking around here! Hopefully I did Liamsaunt's dish proud. And I will tell you this is EASY and DELISH! Try it!

That looks great, MBW! I will have to try it too! I think liamsaunt should be proud

Looking good, MaryBeth!

I haven't been doing much islandy cooking lately, though I made something the other day that would work--it's just grilled sausages, red onions, and peppers, tossed in a black olive vinagrette (kalamata olives, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, parsely) with fresh peaches, topped with pecorino shavings. It's a Chris Schlessinger recipe. Photo:

Because it's five o'clock somewhere (here):

I just made this drink up. It's a raspberry "margarita": 1 1/2 ounces silver tequila, 1/2 ounce cointreau, 1/2 ounce framboise, juice of one lime, over crushed ice in a glass rimmed with lemon sugar, raspberries, a slice of lime, and blue plastic mermaid (if available).

TGIF, everyone!

That's a beautiful drink! Love the mermaid!

Score another success for liamsaunt's scampi....made it tonight and it was a BIG hit! (My husband isn't even a huge shrimp fan, and he *loved* it.)

We ate it too fast for pics, though!

Dang that all looks good!

I forgot to take pics but I made ribeyes one the grill with some of the BVI Caribbean Seasoning (bought from Ruth) and a tad of olive oil on them just before putting them on the pit.

Also did asparagus, forgot the official name of what it's called when you do this, but I put them in biling water for a few minutes then right into a bowl of ice.

SO made mushrooms au marchand or something - he made a tiny bit of roux and red wine - they were good!

I know it's not as fancy as the stuff you guys do, but I am learning

Jan!!! When are you gonna do that cookbook????

p.s. I think now when you post pics, you need to post detailed recipes
