Well… we finally broke down and got a Grill. I had planned to do a nice time-lapse of putting it together… was going to put the camera on the tripod, tether it to the laptop, and set it to fire off a shot every 30 seconds or so… but, upon unloading the box and carrying everything up the stairs one piece at a time, I knew that I most likely wouldn’t want to remember this experience.
Even with Gracie’s help, it was still a pain. Perhaps the time-lapse would be better spent showing me choking the person who designed this thing. The entire thing went together with nothing but Phillips-head screws, but they all had some odd head size and went into spaces that a pygmy’s hands couldn’t have fit into. So, notice the sunlight as I’m working on it…
Then notice that it’s dark once I got it together. But that didn’t slow us down… We grabbed some ribeyes, some asparagus, and some peppers and grilled up dinner.
I definitely need a little practice with the grill. The top rack in the grill has the rods going width-ways, so when cooking asparagus, it had to be laid on at an angle to keep it from falling through the grate. But, I only lost 3 pieces the first time. Also, I may have put the asparagus on a little too early, as some of it was a bit “crispy”.
With the weather finally turning around though, we’re going to be using the grill as much as possible, so expect some entries to the cooking blog to be grill specific entries.
