WELL, WE HAD OUR FIRST COOK OUT OF THE SEASON. YEA  WHAT DO U KNOW IT DIDNT RAIN AND IT WASNT TOO HOT. WE HAD DECIDED A FEW DAYS AGO AND SO ON SAT. I HAD TO JUMP THRU MY BUTT AND GO TO TOWN AND BUY WHAT WAS ONTHE LIST. NOW KEEP IN MIND OUR HOUSE GUEST WAS FOOTING THE BILL AND HE MADE THE LIST AND INVITED SEVERAL PEOPLE INWHICH WE KNEW WOULD NOT COME AND A FEW THAT DID UNEXPECTEDLY. OF COURSE THIS BBQ WAS WAY OVER RATED AND THE COST WAS OVERLY PAID. TO MUCH FOOD TO MUCH OF EVERYTHING. IN THE END THE FOOD WAS FABULOSOA AND THE COMPANY WAS OKAY MOST OF THEM WERE FROM THE JOB. MY HUBBY HAD ONCE WORKED WITH MOST THAT HAD COME OUT FOR THE FREEBIES. (OFFSHORE ELECTRICIANS.)  THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN REGULAR ELECTRICITY. SO IN THE END I GUESS, IT ALL ENDED UP OK. AND MOST OF U KNOW THAT IT REALLY TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO PULL OFF A GREAT DAY. AND WHILE U HAVE A COOK, YOU ALSO HAVE TO JUMP THRU A HOOP TO HAND WHATEVER HE NEEDS, TAKE CARE OF GUEST, RUN ERRANDS, LAST MINUTE IDEAS, ETC. SO NOW THAT ITS A NEW DAY IVE GOT THE KITCH TO CLEAN AS WELL AS FINISH UP MY WEEKEND FOR IVE GOT TO GO TO WORK TONITE 3RD SHIFT.AND THAT GOES ALONG WITH LAUNDRY, MORE COOKING CLEAN HOUSE; DOES IT EVER END. LMAO SO HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND AND ARE YOU WIGGING OUT BY THIS HOUR OF NEED TO RUN AWAY TO BE BY YOURSELF FOR A FEW HRS. LOL.

Jul. 17, 2007 at 11:16 AM I, myself, doesn't do the bbqing at my house.  My husband does.  But WHO is left to clean up the mess?  Me, of course!  He absolutely LOVES to grill, but when it comes time for clean up, he's long gone and no where to be found!  Our grill, unfortunetely is charcoal plus its a smoker, too, so you can imagine the mess it can make.  I wanted a gas grill, but husband says "thats NOT grilling" so...he got the one HE wanted and unbeknownst to me, at the time, that it was going to be left up to ME to clean the dang thing...grrrrr....
