Pork and Sweet Potato Skewers and the Weekly Menu

Ražnjići (Montenegrin Meat Skewers) #EattheWorld

Almost every culture serves meat cooked on skewers.  They come by many different names.  In Montenegro, they are called Ražnjići and can be made with many proteins.  I used pork in my version.  They were scrumptious.

Chicken Spiedini and Il Sorriso from Sicily #ItalianFWT

It's Summertime throughout the northern Continents, so we try to beat the heat by breaking out the grills.  If we were visiting or living in Italy that might mean Spiedini.  Spiedini translates to skewers.  Any meat or item can be used.  If it is on a skewer it is Spiedini.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are cut into chunks, breaded, placed onto a skewer, and grilled.  I removed mine from the skewers before drizzling them with a delicious, buttery, herb sauce.

Chicken Mishkak #EattheWorld

The Big 7 0 Celebration

We celebrated Frank's 70th Birthday Sunday, however today is his actual birthday.  As my regular readers know, Frank had a rough start to this year so we had much reason to celebrate.  

God smiled down upon us and gave us one beautiful day between last weeks rain and this week's forecasted rain.  It was sunshine and 80* perfect for an outdoor celebration.  The Angel Face made this stuffy for her Grampy for his birthday, she sewed it herself.
