You gotta love the grill.  It's such an amazing invention.  Now, one of the reasons that I happen to love the grill is that I do all of the cooking in the house - and my husband does the grilling.  That means that anytime that I'm lazy and don't really want to have to cook another full meal, I can simply marinate the chicken and then say, "honey, it's time to grill!" And boom - eventually, we have food to eat.  But, even if you are the one who makes the food on the grill, it's such a terrifically easy and clever invention.  You can marinate your meat in basically anything and it will taste delicious on the grill.  Even hot dogs taste better when grilled.  Why in the world would that be?  But, it's true.  And vegetables on skewers are the best.  Marinade them in a little bit of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce and put them on the grill. The more burnt the better.

The grill is really a very healthy invention as well.  Most of the fat from the meat drips off and away from the meat when it is grilled.  This leaves a more lean meat that you are eating and a healthier meal.  Fish is wonderful on the grill as well.  It tastes great and is so easy to make.  One of the best things about grilling is the time that it takes.  In no time at all, your food is ready to eat and the clean up is minimal.  If you don't own a grill, consider getting one. They are a great, easy way to enjoy yourself - particularly if your spouse does all the grilling!
