Grilled to deliciousness

We joined the lovely Anna and her family for dinner yesterday, and it was a day that was made for grilling. And we did.

In fact, we grilled everything, starting with the appetizer. Asparagus wrapped with pancetta and grilled to deliciousness.

This is one of those dishes that makes me lie. If I tell the kids they won’t like something, they keep pestering me until its either gone or I give in. So I lie. I have learned that if I tell them something has alcohol in it, they don’t bug me as much since they know they can’t have alcohol.

However, my kids are not stupid, and I knew that if I used that excuse with the asparagus, it wouldn’t take them anytime at all to see through it.

So I just didn’t tell them when it was ready, and saved it all for the adults.

And if this makes me a bad parent, well, I’m in good company.

‘Cause Anna didn’t tell her kids about it either.
