…”Mongolia” could come to your own backyard. The Mongolian Grill guy and his sweet wife came to Marg and John’s lovely yard to prepare a fun meal for all of us.

The grill is the Mongolian Guys own creation and the men folk were very interested to see how it was put together. The grill surface is a saw blade re-purposed for cooking on. You push down on a pedal with your foot to turn the saw blade. Reminded me of a sewing machine pedal.

Rocks played a big role for our outdoor meal, too. Different sized and shaped rocks helped to identify whose bowl of goodies dumped on the grill belonged to who. That lovely pile beside the big rock was my meat and veggie choice. I’ll show you the choices of veggies and meat and sauces we had after I show you the other role the rocks played…

Thankfully on this warm evening there was a very nice breeze so the rocks were stationed strategically to hold down the table linens! The wind also kept some mosquitoes at bay.

Marg thought of everything in creating a wonderful atmosphere for our evening meal together.

Her “appy” table was filled with yummy spreads and salsas and Rainier cherries.

When the grill was hot and ready to go we got our instructions on filling our bowls with our choices of veggies, nuts, seeds, hard noodles, and raw meats. I chose celery, bean sprouts, baby corn, zucchini, water chestnuts, almonds, and beef.

Now it was time to pick the sauce…

I picked the lemon ginger soy and headed out to the grill.

I fought my way to the front and dumped my bowl of goodies on the grill.

The “Grill Guy” did the rest and it was cooked to perfection. You can see why I picked the large rock to identify my portion. There was no missing it for sure!

After the grill was shut down it was time to set the island for dessert!

“Many hands make light work”

Thank you Marg and John for an unforgettable evening.

More to come…
