BBQ type Marinade

A Monday haiku (5-7-5 version):

Sun is shining now.
Babaganouj, outdoor seat.
Eat lunch and relax.

It was sooooooooooo nice to sit outside with friend and have lunch today. I feel like I've been in a cave for... well, a few months at least. My skin also feels sun stung* and it is good.

Highlights from this weekend:

Friday I had a date with the Nephew. After the terror of having Mom leave him with some blue haired weirdo subsided, I taught him how to use the squirtgun and we had a chocolate cookie. My job as Auntie is complete for this month.

Made a pretty good carrot cake with no grated finger in it and grilled outside on Saturday. We also sat out at night smoking cigars and drinking with the neighbors briefly... Got to pet the neighbors snarfley boxer and give her a treat. I found the magic scratch spots so we're bff's now. My desire for a dog has been renewed.**

Sunday had the windows open for a little, got to play with Nephew and be reminded that I'm an out of shape Auntie. Pushing a less than 30 pounder around shouldn't be that tough... (must work on that)

I'm focused on the outside today so you get my cop-out recipe. Really, It's not because I forgot my recipe book and can't think of anything else right now.

Grilled bbq chicken breast

Marinade
Ingredients
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1 tbspn soy sauce
2 tbspn rice wine
2 cloves garlic smashed
pepper to taste

1. Whisk it all together
2. dump it in a ziplock with your chicken and let sit for 1 hour or overnight in fridge

We have one of those generic versions of a weber type round grill. The kind you dump a bunch of charcoal in, light it and forget it. Then an hour later you're thinking the grill smell in the air is delectable and that maybe you should grill something too. When you finally recall you already thought of this, congratulate yourself because now it's all heated up just right and you can get this show on the road cause dammit you're hungry!
I grilled 3 marinated split breasts (with bones) for 40 minutes on the outer ring of less intense heat, let meat sit for 10 minutes and it was pretty good... didn't dry out and had just enough extra taste to be interesting.

*Sun stung = the non-sunburn sunburn that is a result of your first sun filled outing that lasted at least an hour in full sun... Please note, freckles and skin cancer can kiss my ghostly undercarriage, I'm sitting in the sun today.
