We cooked salmon on cedar planks, pork sausage, bacon wrapped scallops, spiced shrimp, sweet and spicy summer squash and grilled sweet corn. For the summer squash I actually used a Korean style recipe that uses gochujang and honey and a few other ingrediants. It turned out so good. I barely finished half my plate but it was so delicious 🤩 **Language**: English *51 likes · 5 comments · 1 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/tIV0NJRwNWOWZD.md) --- ## 7. 3/3/2021 When I'm angry I clean, when I'm sad I cook and when I fall in love I bake.
