Greetings eaters and readers! I send this dispatch from spectacular Sicily where a dozen Dinner: A Love Story readers and I have been exploring since Sunday. I will report back in detail next week, but I didn’t want you to think I forgot about you back home, so here are Three (Quick) Things I’d like you to know about this week.

1. How to take grilled chicken from good to great

Grilled chicken breasts get a bad rap for drying out on the grates, but with a little help from marinating, it can be the best thing at the barbecue. For my Cup of Jo column, I wrote about three of my favorites: yogurt-spiced, Vietnamese-style, and a basic lemon-and-herb. And yes, they work on thighs, too. (P.S. Subscribers, don’t forget you have access to a complete Memorial Day Menu with Shopping List.)
