Pizza

Though I wish I could claim credit for it, yes, it is delivery! I do want to learn to grill pizza but not tonight.

Nothing Exciting

Though I have not had a blog update in about three weeks, I have been grilling. My goal for the next few days is to at least get some posts scheduled. My June schedule probably won't allow me to grill very often so I hope to get "caught up" with my posts.

The hotdogs were from a week or two ago. With two kids under three, hotdogs are a staple.

Church Picnic

This past Sunday our church had our annual spring picnic. Much of the afternoon was filled with tornado warnings and a tree had fallen across the street less than a mile from the church. However, we were not to be deterred. You can't tell from the pictures of the grill but there were four or five "shelves" that roated inside in the grill. This is the way to do church picnics! You can notice the propane tank at one end...this was just to get the charcoal started.

Though I can never imagine me needing a grill this size it sure was fun to see in action!

Community Group

We are a part of a neighborhood community group through our church. We have dinner each week and a great time of fellowship and prayer. This past week Robert was kind enough to cook burgers. The burgers were great. I donated a pound or so of venison burger to add to the other burgers...but Robert did it all. I didn't get a chance to ask him was marinade he used but the burgers were excellent.

Grilled Ribs

Once again spring is in the air and it is time to cook some ribs. This past Saturday was "We love Homewood Day" and was the perfect opportunity for ribs. First thing in the morning we headed to the park two blocks away for the hot-air balloon ride. Unfortunately it was too windy and rainy.



Around lunch time I began marinating the ribs. I usually marinade in a combination of fruit juice and barbecue sauce. After about three hours of soaking I wrapped them in foil and placed them on indirect heat to cook all day. The community parade took place at six and while we were there we invited two more couples to join us. Once back home I added hot dogs for the children and a couple of chicken breasts for the ladies. Also, I removed the cooked ribs from the foil packs, added my favorite dry-rub, and let them dry for about 20 minutes.


If you ever want me to cook ribs for you, please let me know. You supply the food and supplies and I will take care of the rest.
