To grill or not to grill, that is the question
Today, I found out I was chosen to take the new position for which I just interviewed. It is with the same company but now I will be training - teaching for the next 6 months. Those who know me well understand how wonderful that is for me. On my ride home, (55 mpg on my Burgman is pretty sweet!), I took a drive around Lake Overholser. It was a beautiful day. I wanted to congratulate myself on my promotion and, of course, my thoughts turned to food. But, rather than go out, I wanted to prepare a great meal at home.
Steaks! It was a perfect solution.
However, (here is where the title fits in) I wondered how the burn ban would affect my culinary choices. At Albertsons, the meat guy (the butcher sounds too Fiddler on the Roofish), some fellow customers, and I discussed what was allowed and what was not. I did buy the steaks, but before I began preparing them, I hopped on the internet to check out the ban guidelines.
Interesting conversations today... illegal immigrants, $75 per barrel for oil, and whether or not I could legally charcoal grill steaks for dinner. I love Oklahoma!
***drat, nothing controversial with which to ellicit comments... uh, must make some observation... since I mentioned my Suzuki (SuziQ) I do want to make a statement. What's up with Harley riders? I really don't see why they are so overpriced. And, why do they have to be so frickin' loud?

Wow, it's good to see that I've inadvertently been following the guidelines all this time! I've grilled many, many times since the burn ban went into effect back in the late 1850s.
I guess I just thought grilling on a patio would be a very different thing from setting up a campfire or something. Fortunately, I was right. I had better check more closely for stuff like that in the future, though.
So, did you grill after all? The guy at Buy-For-Less insisted that I try grilled broccoli. I'll let you know how it goes if I do that next time I grill. :)
We instead chose to use the broiler on our oven - the charcoal was no longer useable...
Have you tried the grilled broccoli yet?
