Weekend, father's day and no power

The weekend was pretty low key, we had grilled red snapper sandwiches, with a relish made from gardenia (pickled vegetables) for Saturday night's dinner.  Due to a very snotty child I opted to do the shopping solo leaving my husband to baby sit and do some of the chores, just as well we got everything done Saturday...Sunday we lost power from 9 am to 7 pm thanks to someone who decided to park their car up a power pole, fortunately I am back on my grill kick and had planned a dinner that was to be done on the grill anyway.  I was also barely able to get in my breakfast and a cup of tea before the blackout.  I have to say the grill rules, we had peruvian style steak, that basically comprised of skirt steak with potatoes, tomatoes and onions all just grilled with a little olive oil and then served with lime and cilantro, tasty, easy and delicious.  Unfortunately James had to work on Father's Day and it also meant with no power I was unable to call my dad either, so much for that day hehe.  Ah well there is always next year and lets face it it really doesn't mean much to the twins at the moment anyway.
