Patience
I’ve never bought them already skewered. I’ll probably keep making them myself because I’m eyeing a dozen eggs and I’m trying to save for.
I've only bought them from WF when pre-marinaded. but they always need tomatoes as well. so yeah, I usually make them now.

Now I’m still hungry. Luis, I found these great vegetable grill bowls if you ever want to lose the sticks. I like to still use the sticks for Brazilian kebabs. Makes it easy to just shake the basket.

It's not fancy but it will keep him dry and warm and I'm going to paint it to make it pretty.
