7.3.10 Beef skewers, vegies & Scott's "Most Excellent Onion Rings"

-
We'd done the beef skewers and vegies  and baked beans before, but these onion rings are by far the best ever...Vidalia onions, drenched in Frank's hot sauce, whole milk buttermilk...soaked then dredged in flour, egg, flour again, left to dry in the fridge and fried to crispy (not a hint of greasy) perfection by Scott. 
oil heating up for rings...peppers and onions and beans warmin up
peppers and onions
Bush's baked beans...grillin style

baby bella mushrooms, quartered
freshly ground black pepper...so satifying to grind it by hand with a mortar and pestle
fresh lime juice for the marinade
sauteeing mushrooms with the peppers and onions
drenched and dredged onion rings ready for the oil
the skewers are on the grill
the best rings I've EVER put in my mouth...Thx honey
Sirloin was marinated in asian marinade (lots of freshly ground black pepper and freshly squeezed lime juice)...posted on here already...grilled till charred and tender.  Onion, bell peppers and baby bella shrooms were sauteed. The onion rings were my favorite part...everything else delicious...but oh those onion rings
