Day 7.248: Last cook-out of summer?

The equinox, and therefore the official end of summer (in the US at least), is still a week away, so another summer cook-out could be managed, but as the days go by it feels less and less like summer, and when I finally got outside to cook this very nice piece of lamb and some accompanying vegetables on Saturday evening it was rainy and not very summery at all.

On the other hand, the meal was excellent, as was the beer I accompanied it with and we even managed some rainy-day s'mores for dessert.

Cooking on the grill always turns a meal into an event. I wonder how many times we'll use it in the non-summer seasons ahead.
