For me, the only good thing I can think about summer these days is the time I can spend cooking steaks on the grill. Unfortunately, my co-op now prohibits gas and charcoal grills on our decks. So I am stuck getting BBQ at restaurants instead of doing it myself....

Why do I start off writing about grilling and BBQ you may ask?
To me BBQ symbolizes the best that summer has to offer. And when RQS arrived for the weekend, I figured that we'd go to Holy Smoke BBQ in Mahopac. It's been a long while since I've been there, and I can only wonder what would have happened if I stumbled into FCP there. But not to worry - she was off doing her things while I was doing mine.
RQS enjoyed the food at this BBQ much more than the last BBQ joint we ate at - neither of us suffered from the over salted aftertaste we often taste when food is cooked with too much salt. This doesn't mean that the food wasn't salty. My pastrami sandwich has way too much salt for one meal, and I decided to save half of it for another day.

I keep being amazed by how comfortable RQS has gotten with me when presenting as Marian. Neither of us give it much thought anymore that I will meet her at the train station in female presentation, and I'm very happy about that. I'm still the person paying for dinner. But to others at the restaurants, we are two women having a nice Friday evening out. If they only knew....
