When we finished grocery shopping this morning, we came home and cut up a tri-tip (bottom sirloin) roast into chunks, removed the stems from some fresh mushrooms and put them in a marinade consisting of extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped rosemary leaves and minced garlic. <\/p>\n<p>We also boiled up some red bliss potatoes, Brussels sprouts and diced acorn squash chunks. We only boiled them until the potatoes were just barely fork-tender. These were drained and set aside to cool.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/capnbob.us\/graphics\/imageview.php?image=http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/kebabs.jpg' title='kebabs'><img src='http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/kebabs.jpg' alt='kebabs' class='alignleft' width='250' \/><\/a>While the vegetables were cooling and the meat marinated in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, we watched some football and visited with the family at a nearby eatery. We didn&#8217;t order any food, though, since nothing on their menu could possibly compete with what we were planning to have for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>At the left, you can see the meat and veggies on the skewers before we put them on the grill. Notice the rich deep-brown color of the marinated beef and mushrooms. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Click on either picture to see a closer view.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the side, Damsel prepared a pasta salad with orzo, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, olives and artichoke hearts. I have to tell you, this was a great meal &#8211; and certainly better than anything on the menu at the eatery where the family gathered. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feast your eyes on these beautiful shish kebabs as they cook on the grill.
