Directions: -

Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. During that time, prep the ingredients by cutting the hot dogs, chopping the peppers, and slicing the zucchini into half circles. In a bowl, toss the vegetables with two tablespoons of the chimichurri marinade. Once the skewers have soaked, thread the hot dogs, zucchini, and peppers onto the skewers in an alternating pattern. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly charred and the hot dogs are browned.

Welcome June 2025 Open thread

    

Summer is around the corner for many, but it's already started here in the South.  Temps are soaring into the upper 80s making it feel like 100.   Pool is open.

As usual there is something even in the summer that
catches a writer's or artist's eye

Go to that little place by the seaside to grab a sweet treat

Or the diner that serves handspun milkshakes with hotdogs or hamburgersas you deck it up how you want
it with a side of fries or slaw

There's nothing else like them, just like the

good ole' days!

Check out new places to take solitude

Watermelon is ripe and ready to eat

Listen to great music or read a catch up on summer reading

Rerun movies with a flare of laughter as

 Summer days put us into a daze 

As summer cookouts or a seaside or go to the square for a summer meal to relax and 

hear open mic music, new songs to first reads of a story to see how others respond. Do it if you dare!

Most of all, have a fun safe summer!
