Before evening church, we broke out our brand new grill and had the yummiest pork chops ever!
Up until now, we had a cheap-o grill that we bought when we were first married. It needed constant supervision since flare-ups were a regular occurrence. What wasn't burnt was dry while other pieces of meat were under cooked. Very frustrating.
My sister and her husband have an amazing grill that Gerrit had been drooling over for awhile. It is a Webber--charcoal with a gas starter. It allows for the yummy taste of charcoal with the convenience of gas. Genius!
So yesterday, armed with a credit card, Gerrit went to the local hardware store and purchased the same grill. This is quite a step for us since we tend to plan, talk, research, talk some more, think about it, look on-line...you get the picture. I like to think that we are super stewardly, careful, conscientious, etc. but the truth is we are both cheap. Frugal is probably a more positive description.
Well, we are now planning to grill every night for the next month! The meat was so delicious! Gerrit said he only flipped the pork once and was even able to walk away from the grill without fear of a singed supper. Tessa response was "The last time you made this meat I didn't like it, but this time you cooked it good Daddy!" Nathan wolfed it down, but that seems to be his pattern with almost anything edible and well, actually, things that are not edible too.
I have a picture of the grill, but mastering posts is probably enough for one day!

You two - doing something impetuous? The millennium must be upon us!
I really think you should have a party to break in your new-found grill happiness. Of course I say that not out of an ounce of selfishness. No. Not one.
Also, YAY FOR A BROUWER BLOG!!! I'm linking you on mine. Now I have to check out Dale's.
Welcome to the real world of grilling! Try some salmon fillets with some soaked cedar or hickory wood chips in with the coals. I am new to this blog thing, but I look forward to keeping in touch.
