What's on the Deck?

Well, I had a last minute dinner planned of a spatchcocked chicken covered in a curry/lemon paste to be accompanied by a bowl of grilled corn and black bean salsa. Driven by my haste and lack of countertop space, I placed the bowl of salsa ingredients...that I just painstakingly cut up...on the railing next to the grill. Well actually, it was right behind the grill because when I opened the lid of the grill to check on the chicken...kerblam! The bowl flew off the railing and spilled its grilled goodness all over the deck. I could have cried.

To top things off, although the chicken cooked well, it lacked flavor and really did not do anything for me. What a sad night. At least the beer was good.
