We kicked off the night with the focus on Matt's new Ipad. It came as no surprise that the son of Casa Grande AZ's esteemed Mayor would choose to lavish himself with such an item (just kidding, it was a birthday gift). Matt has always been a showoff, and show it off he did (and it was admittedly AWESOME!). With a new app that allows him to sketch, color, and touch up digital photographs Matt dazzled us with example after example.

And here is another in which Matt has decided to depict the energy emanating from my Weber grill as a brownish aura. I must say, the source of Matt's particular brand of creativity is a curious one.
And finally on to the foods! Tonight's menu rendered a remarkably (some would say perfectly) prepared Pork Tenderloin as well as a trio of halved zucchinis. All of the food was marinated in the same 1 gallon freezer bag. The marinade was simple and consisted of but only olive oil, salt, pepper, and a hint of Cholula hot sauce. Our grill did the rest, and the taste was absolutely divine.
Here is our mountain of food matter, fresh from the grill.
I should also mention that Matt provided a nifty six pack of beer (I cannot currently recall the type) and and eight pack of Ballpark hot dogs + Buns. These served as killer appetizer, and I implore anyone given the choice to ALWAYS opt for the higher quality dogs (see: Hebrew Nationals, Nathan's, Ball Park) over the 99 cent ten pack of Farmer John's, or whatever else...
All in all it was a spectacular Pilot to our new semi-weekly tradition of grilling on Friday Nights. If you know me reasonably well and would like join us on the next occasion, please by all means send word!
I thought the first Friday Night Bites was the Friday before that where I think I came up with the name? Just saying.
