i love seafood and pepper cheese.... that sounds great, definitely on my list of things to make, maybe even nacho style....

my current fave shrimp kabab ~~~ large shrimp (21-25/lb) wrapped in bacon (approx. 1/3 slice per shrimp), skewered, grilled till almost done, then baste with bbq sauce let sit on low so sauce sticks.... i LOVE that....

also awesome on scallops.... w/w/o sauce ~~ i just love the tang bbq sauce gives..

Put 60 candles on the cake!

Since you'll have a grill, meat/veggie skewers would be good. Foodnetwork has an insert in their magazine with different combinations of skewers that you can make. If you go to their site and search for skewers, you can get the recipes free.

My grandpa used to have an apron that was the talk of every family gathering. It had an extra flap on the front that when lifted, exposed some fake "frank & beans". It was hilarious!
