The best Father's Day gift ever!

Brian's always a tough one to buy for.  This year I did it!  I got him a gift that made him smile like a child at Christmas.  All it took was a little thought, a plan and a very talented brother in law.  One of Brian's best memories from Ukraine is shashlyk (BBQ - pork being his fave).  It's amazing food but I think the great memories of it are so great because they also remind him of great friends and fantastic adventures!  (If anyone happens to be on the highway to Yalta you've got to stop at Nadexda) It's prepared on a special grill after being marinaded.  Yum. 

I had been online looking to find where, and if, I could buy him a grill without out much luck when literally the next day Brian tells me he's had a conversation with his brother Larry and Larry thinks he can make a grill.  On the sly I talk to Larry and send him some pics and plans that I've found online.  Two days before Fathers Day Larry delivers the perfect Shashlyk grill.  I keep it hidden until late evening as we had Vika's birthday party.  But there's not keeping it hidden after that - especially because I know that Linda all wants us to celebrate Father's Day with a BBQ on the beach on Sunday.  Brian will need to get his marinade going.  Gotta say, Brian's Shashlyk was fabulous!  And we're having more tonight!
