This happens to be the same day as the summer solstice (June 20 at 11:32 P.M. Eastern Time), which makes it the perfect time to kick-off the summer season with grilling a couple of steaks. We&#8217;re in the middle of a heat-wave but we&#8217;re prepared to go outdoors and cook over the grill by virtue of having plenty of water and perhaps an adult beverage or two.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: Ready at the Outdoor Grill &#8211; Click on the image to enlarge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The local sunrise for today is at 5:20 AM and the sunset will take place at 7:45 PM. The longest day at our latitude is 14 Hours and 25 Minutes. The forecast temperature at grilling time is 112&deg; F. As I said before, we&#8217;re prepared &#8211; the summer heat is one of the reasons we moved here.<\/p>\n<p>The menu today is for Beef; tenderloin steaks for today and a tri-tip roast for later in the week. The side dishes are baked beans and potato salad, both of the KETO variety, i.e. low-carb soy beans and cauliflower instead of potatoes in the salad &#8211; both taste the same as the high carb dishes they replace.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, today we salute all the Dads out there and wish them a good day. We also salute our Dads again as we did <a href=\"http:\/\/capnbob.us\/blog\/2020\/06\/21\/happy-fathers-day-2\/\" target='_blank' rel=\"noopener\">last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2021, Father\u2019s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, June 20.
