Grilled Plums & Nectarines

How about THIS for a summery side dish? Grilled plums and nectarines. Good good good. Slightly charred and smoky sweet, they made a great accompaniment to the chicken and red chard we ate them with.

Prep took 2 minutes, grilling took maybe 8, so this is definitely a quick and easy treat for a hot summer night.

AND... Paul and I had a house guest this evening. Meet Rocky! She lives with my neighbours, and runs our 'hood with claws of iron. Sometimes she wanders into our house instead of her own house, but that's because she's the King of our street...and no one you'd ever want to mess with!
