Kabobs may just be my new favorite way to barbecue! I love the all-in-oneness of sliding all your veggies and meats onto skewers and letting them grill up. We bought these long metal skewers (I can’t seem to find them on the Crate & Barrel website to give you a link…) that were really excellent. Each skewer held so much food - easily enough for one to two people. But before I tell you how delicious the food was, let me back up a little.

I always loved birthdays in elementary school. There were so many special privileges. Line leader for the day. Choosing a picture book to read to the class. Wearing a birthday crown. And of course, TREATS for the class! Unfortunately, in the “real world,” people barely wait in lines let alone allow you to lead them anywhere, the only thing that gets read are the day’s headlines in the newspaper and I suppose you could wear a crown if you wanted… but even then no one would give you special treatment.
