I really must do a better job of journaling our days with pictures.
My Don went to Wal-Mart today and came home with a gas-grill-in-a-box. You know what that means? Yes sir. It had to be assembled. What a team we are! Got that grill put together in 4 hours flat!! 
Well, maybe that’s a little exaggeration. Once we got the table grill together, we realized… no table. Out on the deck, I got a brainstorm and texted my brother to bring a piece of scrap lumber. His brilliant addition to the idea was the C-clamps to secure the “table top.”
Voila!
OK, let’s try it out. Johnsonville Brats for dinner with sauerkraut! Don sacrifices so much for me.
Table top grill works great. My man is happy!!!
I’ll admit it… it doesn’t take much to make us happy. This whole grilling arrangement cost less then $20.
A few days ago, Don made chicken and dumplings in the Crock Pot. When I got my serving out of the pot, I placed the lid on a burner that I thought was turned off.
What’s that strange smell? 
Have you ever seen strings of melted plastic? I trimmed them off hoping to salvage the lid. No such luck.
Today, Don purchased a $10 Dutch oven at the dollar store to cook the turnip greens that Mama Trudy has requested.
Guess what the Dutch oven glass lid fits on?
Now Don can cook that roast to go with Mama Trudy’s turnip greens!
In case you ever wondered if three eggs really do make brownie mix taste more like a cake than fudgy brownies made with two eggs… they do. And I don’t like cake like brownies.
Tonight, I decided to grill our hot dog buns and you know where this is going, don’t you? Burnt.
I’m dangerous in the kitchen. So glad My Cook is here!
