I love grilled peaches, thanks for reminding me.

Yes, you're right.

Corn is fabulous! I've roasted it (in the husk) in the oven during
the winter and it tasted like I roasted it on a grill outside; but the
corn I tried to cook on my grill pan didn't behave until I steamed it
for two minutes and then finished it on the grill.

Thanks for the potato insight! Not a fan of microwave cooking, but I
had been thinking I should precook them a bit.

OMG, you read my mind! I have lots of leftover pizza dough & fixings
so I was thinking about using them on the grill tomorrow. I've never
grilled pizza before, so it's nice to see a technique. Thanks!

Hmmm. I'm not going to do it, but I bet that cake recipe I posted
the other day would be terrific with a hint of smoke in it.

I have just remembered when I was a teenager in Florida that we used to go
to a barbecue place where they also barbecued oysters. They were cooked
just until they opened and piled high on a beer tray to bring to you. At
the time they were my favorite oysters ever. I haven't tasted them since.

You're right, they're excellent and we grill oysters for almost every
family bbq where my son is involved because he buys the oysters and
cooks them (most importantly, he prepares them to eat). However, I've
all but given up on shellfish due to hubby's gout and he doesn't like
oysters so I don't bother unless I'm in a restaurant (or in the case
of grilled oysters, when somebody else is cooking).
