FFH is Posting FFH is posting.. Grilled Grouper and Grilled veggies, OH yes!

My FFH's Grilled VeggiesGrilled Grouper
Please welcome my FFH (firefighter husband) who will be taking the computer keys in hand today... Hi everyone. It's been a while. She's wounded, in pain, and uncomfortable..rub my aching parts will ya.. Her shoulder is hurting, and now she pulled her neck out. It's stiff (not me , her neck).. Sure FFH like you are ever limp..Guess how it happened? sexual position #356?Wrong! Pole dancing upside down?Wrong again! She hurt in on the chaise lounge. And I wasn't involved, I swear. The hot UPS man wasn't involved either, I swear too. So, what else to do with a wife out of commission...take advantage of her FFH, use the almighty hose.. Lay around by the pool in the hot sun and lounge. We started talking and thinking about our trip to Key West and the things we didYou dont want to know what my crazy wife does after a few of Sloppy Joe's sampler alcoholic drinks. They do so wanna know..Had to interrupt our reminiscing because I ran out of beer,SHOCKER! As I was driving I happened by the crab shack and saw the sign out front Grouper 15.99 per pound. I think I drooled. Wait'll you see the nightie I'm wearing later, you'll be salivating..Immediately, I phoned FFW and said Im cooking dinner. And being that I love you so much I'll even make my grilled veggies too. OK my poor wounded one said. I love it when he cooks for me. Then she suggested hitting the hot tub ,oh yes I did indeed, after dinner for her shoulderI agreed, under the condition of no clothes, tell the truth FFH, and thought the hot tub would do BOTH of us some good. Thinking of myself, of course.I really only wanted to play deep sea diver, he being the diver. So I came home, with fresh grouper and a bunch of veggies. Went outside to preheat the grill, and guess what? Of course the $%^*&^)) thing didn't lightRan out of F&**ing propane. Insert me being sympathetic and laughing inside all the while..So, back out I had to go. OK onto the meal. This , we thought, was a delicious meal, a must try. For some reason , this dinner made FFW very very happy. Honest, had nothing to do with the daiquiris and percocet all day long..

This is an Emeril --squishy johnson guy recipe, found here..Preheat your grill to medium-high. Have mandatory drink on top of grill. Wear mandatory fire/police/or guy harvey shirt. Melt together the butter, garlic, Parmesan, Essence , and olive oil. Whisk to combine.Grab your grouper, then grab wife's hot sexy tight ass,rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Lay the filets on a grill pan, I greased it,you can lube me up to while your at it big guy, (or directly on grill) and brush generously with melted butter mixtureClose the grill cover and cook for 3 minutes. Open and brush again with the melted butter mixture.Repeat until fish is done to your liking. About 15 minutes, it took me about 4 times to brush the fish. Throw your fresh herbs on during the last minute of cooking timeI used basil and thyme, you are so the best,remove and serve immediately. Here it isShe loved it. I'd have to agree. Here is a close up.I'd do it again and again. Who are you kidding.. you can't keep up with me.

Now onto my grilled veggies. FFW requests these all the time. I also demand things all the time, he likes that. Simple and easy and they are really good. We use green, red, and yellow peppers, red onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and portabello mushrooms. Cut them up as you like. Put them in an aluminum foil lined grill panSeason with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.

Now drizzle with a good amount of olive oil, and about 8 shakes ,Can I be naughty and insert something here about shakes , ok Ill refrain.. of the balsamic vinegar.
Toss to coat well. Grill on high, frequently turning, till you see they are starting to cook. Then I let them stay on the grill without moving, to get the caramelized lookThat's it.
I'm done , Good-bye. Good job, FFH, now come and get me.

  17. It sure is nice to have a man around the house that can cook and yours sure can. My husband taught me how to cook many years ago and we share the kitchen together.
    Loved your grilled grouper and vegetables. Just what the doctor ordered.
    Hope you're feeling better soon Donna. And FFH can blog anytime he wants.

  22. Great post FFH! Dinner looks great! I love grouper, but we don't see it fresh around here very often. I wonder if I could use frozen grouper without it getting mushy on the grill? Yours looks so good I think I'll have to try it and find out.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Those veggies look TO DIE FOR!! And I love the picture of the two of you, so sweet. I hope you feel better soon -- it sounds like with FFH there to "take care of you," you'll be better in no time!
