Delayed response and more grilled veggie fun

I haven't done much cooking this past week...mainly because I've had a cold and can't smell or taste anything very well right now. I know, it's sad. But last weekend we had a little barbecue with our band The Spurloafers, spouses, and kids. It was fun and I did the grilled veggie thing again, and had leftovers for the next couple of days.
So...I made these quesedillas with the veggies (peppers, onions, squash, and mushrooms) along with pepper-jack and cheddar cheese. They were so delicious! The only problem was, as my frying pan got hotter, and bits of cheese started to escape into it, the tortillas began to stick. The result? One set of quesedillas was perfect, and the next one was coming apart. But, they still tasted great.

Another thing...I just started doing something cool with potatoes on the grill. Basically, I slice the potato in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into three spears. Then I toss them in olive oil and sprinkle black pepper on them. Throw them on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side. If your grill is like mine, you might need to keep a close eye on them. The left side of my grill has a bigger flame for some reason and always cooks faster...so I have to rotate my stuff. Anyway, they come out kind of like grilled french fries....perfect with sour cream & scallions (or chives, but I'm really into scallions right now) or ketchup.
