So first, know that for the past 10 years I've been living in a downtown Seattle locating with no chance of owning a barbeque. Now, with my recent relocation, I finally can grill in my own back yard again. Needless to say, I'm a little...

Iconoclast, What is the "theme" of your menu? It seems like the beginning of a nice "early summer" meal, except for the truffle (always makes me think of fall) -IMHO, I think the shrimp will have enough going on...
