It was another scorcher here today of 112 degrees and monsoony humid so
we stayed inside and painted the bathroom and a bedroom. I'm exhausted
though so decided to make this simple recipe for the grill. It was made
even simpler by having the lime juice in the freezer. I buy the fruit
and then squeeze it all at once making it into cubes for future recipes.
And then even simpler yet by converting the fresh herbs into dry
measurements and using a mortar & pestle to revive them. This was a
substitute for tonight, but I highly recommend using the fresh when you
can.
