What's For Dinner #118 - the Pollen Is Covering Everything! Edition - May 2025

Pollen season is upon us, and it is never fun for those of us who have allergies. The streets and walkways (and cars!) around my area are all yellowish-green from all of the pollen, and opening windows at home can be dangerous.

In May, it’s a sense of new beginnings: yes, trees are spreading their pollen, causing sneezle fits, but there’s the good stuff as well! Patio and deck furniture comes out, starter plant herbs and veggies will be planted in pots and the ground, dads (and maybe moms!) will start cutting the lawn, flowers start appearing, kids will be walking across stages for their graduations, and anyone who hasn’t bravely stood outside in snow storms for the past five months will clean that grill, fill the tank, and start grilling!

While I can only grill indoors on a grill pan, I’m still looking forward to doing so. So what are you thinking of tossing on the gas or charcoal fire? And don’t forget the marshmallows for S’mores!

I’m getting a desire for some Hawaiian style Kalbi ribs…I have some flanked cut ribs in the freezer and all of the makings for some marinade…I just gotta do it.
