Roasty toasty

Here's the menu from Sunday dinner last night. Every recipe has two strong flavors and plenty of roasted goodness. It is already really too hot to be doing this. I've gotta quit soon and get my grill going instead.

Red pepper and parmesan roasted broccoli and cauliflower
Rosemary and garlic roasted potatoes
Watermelon

And I am going to start photographing my food. Any day now. I have a new camera, thanks to my wonderful in-laws, and there's no excuse. Life does move fast, but I spend too much time and effort on food to let it lapse into nothingness once it is eaten and the day is past. And I sincerely regret having no pictures of this dinner from last night.
