Mmmm... steak. Up here, people always talk about breaking out the bbq every summer after a long cold winter. I say nuts to that. I just put the bbq on the front porch and bbq all year round. Nothing like grilled steak in the middle of January when its minus 15 C to feel like summer is just around the corner.

Totally agree. We usually try to do a rotisserie chicken on the bbq in February with summer type salads and drinks like mojitos to combat S.A.D. and the lack of daylight...!

I won't lie - the mojito is one of the main reasons we grow mint. Nothing like it fresh, muddled in the bottom of the glass.

As for the grilling, we have a cast iron griddle that spans two burners on the stove; smooth on one side, ridges on the other. Get it hot enough and it'll make grill lines on the meat! We have a tiny porch, barely functional, and I have put the kettle grill on there to stay out of the rain before. But the winter rains we get are usually windy. Summer rain comes, does its thing, then blows over.

And I wonder if the 6500K 'daylight' bulbs I put in the light fixture will help combat SAD? I hope so.
