Debated between the Dinner Tonight thread and this one. But, since it is the Fourth, and this was our holiday dinner, here seems to fit best.

Went to the local farmers mkt this morning after a mile walk with the dogs and wife around the Modoc Nat Wildlife Refuge. The few vendors there had no zucchini for the grill, so I went with two kinds of beets and some carrots. Meat was tri tip coulotte steaks, sprinkled with a bit of lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and some smoked paprika.

Them dang big red beets might have been better than the steaks, which were mighty tasty as was the rest. We've had roasted beets from the oven many many times, this was our first on the coals. I think my wife wants them that way all the time now!

Happy BD America!
