Are we far enough into the new year so that writing 2013 on checks is no longer a problem? (Do our younger members even know what checks are? 😉 ) The polar temperatures in the US Midwest have left and been replaced by snow which will be replaced by more frigid temperatures in a few days. Meanwhile parts of Australia are being exposed to heat as high as 50°C (If you’re more familiar with the Fahrenheit scale you probably don’t even want to know how hot that is!)  Hopefully you have found conditions that allow you to grill wherever you are. Some cooks are listed below:
