Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
The first time I ever tried fish tacos. I had thought it was a weird idea, but while strolling around Mission Beach in San Diego waiting for a friend I decided to take the plunge from one of many random vendors. The fish was perfect - moist and flaky on the inside with a slight crispy crunch on the outside. The salsa was a perfect pico de gallo made with fresh tomatoes, onions and cilantro.
I had my fair share of fish tacos during my week in San Diego, as well as the many following years living in LA, but none will ever be as good as that first one.
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
It was the first time I used my Weber Silver grill. I loaded it up with charcoal and lit some newspaper underneath. I got a good fire going, but only with the newspaper. Clouds of black smoke were all over the place and I couldn't see anything. In an effort to grab the cover and cut off some of the oxygen, I tripped, knocking over the grill onto my balcony. Burning paper was flying everywhere. Some landed on the bag of remaining charcoal and that lit up like a fuse almost immediately. Needless to say, better planning, a fire extinguisher and a handy phone to call the fire department were on the menu for my next (successful) attempt the following day.

Any idea if these would be good cooked on the grill?
