Scenes From the Weekend
Pardon
the radio silence. These
unseasonably warm days have us whistling Dixie over here. We have been outside most of the time blowing
bubbles, spreading grass seed, and grilling out. Is there anything better than the
smell of the grill wafting in through the windows?

We’ve
enjoyed lots of fresh guac and hand cut fries with spicy ketchup. And the first mouthwatering grilled salmon of
the season. We are a charcoal family now
that our mondo grill went kaput.
I can’t believe we spent hundreds of dollars on a big stainless steel
gas grill that lasted only 3 years. The
gas rails rusted out over time and it costs more to buy the replacement parts
than to purchase a new grill.
mr. V has
preached about the virtues of charcoal over gas for years but I was a skeptic
primarily for the ease of use. Who has the time to wait for the charcoal?! I loved being able to push a button and grill away. But that was BEFORE. Before I had a burger grilled over hardwood
lump charcoal. What a revelation. Everything tastes so much better over
charcoal. But
not those nasty briquette things and definitely no lighter fluid!

We
officially became a Weber/chimney starter/natural lump charcoal grilling family
last summer. And when we do our outdoor
fireplace situation in the future, we are planning on accommodating a grill
rack in that business.

What's good enough for Ina is good enough for me! So what
kind of grilling family are you?
Do you prefer gas or charcoal?
kisses, mrs. V
