                         MARINADE
    1 1/3  cups          olive oil
      2/3  cup           fresh lemon juice (or half lemon/lime)
      2/3  cup           dry vermouth
    4      tablespoons   dry rosemary -- crumbled
    2      tablespoons   dry thyme -- crumbled
    1      tablespoon    dry chile (as desired) -- crumbled
    1      teaspoon      sugar
    1      teaspoon      salt (or equiv. w/Tamari)
    1      teaspoon      black pepper -- ground
      1/4  teaspoon      white pepper -- ground

 Whisk ingredients in bowl.  Wipe yer brow.  Damn that wuz tough.
 
 Cover veggies that have been sliced/prepared to grill with the marinade and
 allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.  Grill veggies approx. 10
 minutes, turning frequently/crosshatching.  Season with salt and pepper
 after removing from grill if needed/desired.
 
 Can be made two days ahead.
 
 Use this marinade with:
 
 zucchini, sliced on a bias or lengthwise

 bell peppers, esp. yellow and red, sliced into thick "julienne"

 Uh, do note that the bit in this last recipe about "...season w/salt/pepper
 after removing from grill if needed/desired" well, I be talking about
 needing/desiring to salt/pepper the veggies.  Obviously, one should desire
 to remove 'em from the grill...although after about 15 minutes, you won't
 need to 'cause they'll be playin' with the charcoal and having a grand ole time
