Grilling Summer Squash and Zucchini

Sometimes I just want something that will give me some new tastes in my menus and at the same time work as a garnish to enhance my food presentation. I decided to try summer squash and zucchini, since  I see mountains ot these in the supermarkets.
First I needed to find out which ones will be the best to buy. I consulted the Bobby Flay Grill It! Cookbook, and he said to choose smaller ones, and you will have fewer seeds and less water. They are also supposed to be more flavorful. I want no pits in them and smooth skin, so I decided my best bet was to try farmers markets.
I was pleased to find that grilling really enhanced the flavor of the zucchini and the summer squash, because grilling allows the water in them to evaporate and teir texture improved. Bobby said I could cook them together, because they cook about the same, and then I had a variety of color for my plate. The turned out great and tasted great as well.
