Going light and easy

After a week of continuous feasting in Singapore, goin' light and easy on cooking this time. And since the temperature in the Bay Area has dropped, it's time for grilling! Well, while I have observed most people here enjoy grilling and BBQ-ing in summer, I love mine in the cooler colder months.
