Friday’s BBQ and Birthday Gathering

I had an amazing dinner at my boyfriend's home. He bought some chicken breasts from Costco and grilled those up along with squash that were grown in his back yard.

[caption id="attachment_3820" align="alignnone" width="625"] Raw chicken about to be grilled[/caption] The grill was up to about 500 degrees and left the chicken grilling for about 10 mins on each side to make sure there's nothing raw in the chicken. We added the lime chicken seasoning on both sides as we were grilling.

[caption id="attachment_3809" align="alignnone" width="577"] Watermelon[/caption] There were watermelons growing on the vines and I was so amused at how the watermelon looked! I've never seen it so tiny and never knew the process in how a watermelon develops. Kids should learn about how to grow vegetable and see how it all begins as I think they should know and it would be a good learning experience for them. I definitely learned a lot while first planting the seeds and see how the plants begin to grow, produces the flowers, which will then form into a fruit. [caption id="attachment_3808" align="alignnone" width="577"] Green tomatoes[/caption] It's so tall that it goes way past the height of the ring stands. I don't remember the tomato plants growing as tall as it is now. My bf did use organic plant food which I think really helped. [caption id="attachment_3807" align="alignnone" width="577"] Corn is almost ready![/caption] The corn plants are sky high and is basically ready to be picked and grilled 🙂 [caption id="attachment_3806" align="alignnone" width="577"] Corn is almost ready![/caption] [caption id="attachment_3804" align="alignnone" width="625"] Corn is almost ready![/caption] [caption id="attachment_3805" align="alignnone" width="577"] Squash[/caption] I forget the name of this but I can imagine it would taste great either baked or grilled.
