4th of July: First Cookout Of The Year.

An excess of charcol might have been the case.Ther is no such thing as an excess of Sweet Baby Ray’s.

To celebrate America’s birthday Julie and I, along with Dom and Kelly put the grill through the paces. Some have pointed out that I really didn’t need to use the amount of charcoal that I did but those would be the same people who point out that the grill is still hot two days later.

After the cookout we headed inside for the first Wii Pentathlon to be held in my Wii Arena. The scoring was close but yours truly pulled it out in the end due to my superior Wii pugilistic skills. It’s fair to say everyone was sore afterwards but none more than Dom after pitching a 5 inning no hitter.

Julie clearly does not like the Corn.The food that was.Dom and Kelly also not liking the corn.

Side Note: Previous Cookouts.

Today was my first attempt at Grilling in New York and I must say it was a moderate success. A ten dollar grill from Rite Aid and some really good steaks from the itailian butcher (meat shop?) around the corner were just the right mix.

This cookout was more of a test run than anything. I can’t really compare it to some of the legendary pork roasts I’ve been a part of but it’s good to get back in the game.

Last night was more or less the last cookout at the current homestead. The food was good by all accounts, the turnout was great considering the earlier rain and beer was plentiful. At one point the fridge was filled entirely with beer and watermelon… No complaints.
