Barbecue Grilled Vegetables - Marinated

A trip to an English castle wouldn’t be complete without indulging the in ritual of teatime, and Highclere offers an “Afternoon Tea in the Coach House.” While we noshed on fancy sandwiches, sipped champagne from sparkling crystal flutes and drank copious amounts of black tea served in bone-china tea cups, it was...
