Recipe #1 (year II) Grilled sausage with potatoes and green beans

March 4, 2012 was unseasonably beautiful and just right for beginning a journey through a new book.  This year it's a KINDLE book from the allrecipes.com 100 Best Recipes series.  This one is "Grilling and BBQ."

We started simply:  a ring of smoked sausage, three large red potatoes, a large onion, and 3/4 pounds of fresh string beans (AKA "green beans" no easy task to find THOSE in Minnesota in March).  Everything is cut to 1" chunks, seasoned and wrapped tightly in tinfoil.  Three pats of butter and 1/3 cup of water and seal up the bag.  30 minutes over the coals, turning once. That's it.   IT WAS FABULOUS!!!!!

I think this year will be a LOT more positive than last year!  What more can I say?

To put a cherry on this perfect day, I rode my bike out on the highways for about 40 minutes.  A bit windy, but great fun!
