The Barbecue

I have learned there are many little US/UK language differences with the potential for serious confusion. For example, in the UK, it's not called a grill. It's called a "barbecue". A "grill" is actually the part of the oven we call the "broiler". Sigh.

It makes me crave something familiar. Like Barefoot Contessa Guacamole, and grilled chicken wings covered in Bone Suckin' Sauce (note it says "American Cooking Sauce" on the label — ha).

Plus a variation on Shirley's black bean salad: a can of black beans, a can of corn, a handful of frozen soy beans, chopped romano pepper, chopped red chili pepper, finely chopped red onion, 

the juice of one lime, a couple splashes of white wine vinegar, and some cumin.

Note: There is nothing confusing about guacamole and chicken wings.

PS: A bed skirt is called a "valance", which is what we would put over a window and — by the 

way — there is no such thing as a box spring.
