The Boston Globe’s summer grilling guide…

Throughout the cold, wet, dark and dank Pacific Northwest winters, there are two things I look forward to about spring and summer more than anything else:  wearing shorts, and grilling on the barbeque.  When the warm weather finally rolls around, I like to do most of my cooking over the coals (yes, I’m something of a purist and prefer to use charcoal, although I’m getting ready to make the switch to gas because of the convenience factor).  The Boston Globe has put together a nice little grilling guide for the summer.  I plan to try out several of these recipes this year, and I’ll share what’s good.  I’m thinking the grilled chicken thighs and rack of lamb sound awfully tempting, as well as the sweet and sour kebabs…
