I can’t really explain the off topic post other than say that I have other hobbies and don’t want to have a second blog. Below is my assessment of the iPhone after 7 days of ownership. On my scale of 1-10, here is how I rate the iPhone.
After visiting a few home shows and BBQ stores, I found that you could spend a lot of money on a wonderboard built island. Wonderboard is that stuff that is sort-of like concrete in a board (like plywood, only harder and much more durable). But, when complete, they are hollow sounding and they just don’t feel that sturdy. For some reason, I have this crazy idea that it needs to be sturdy enough for me to jump up and down on. A grill made from block was for me, but these islands are more expensive than Wonderboard. The answer? DIY
This dish usually ends up being an appetizer or side dish with something else. But I have also eaten over noodles.
Happy New Year! I hope you, your friends and your families had a great Christmas and are bringing in the new year by grilling! Oh, and maybe a few resolutions like “grill more veggies and fish”, “spend more time with family…grilling”, “grill instead of frying”. I missed a couple weeks of blogging, but it certainly wasn’t without grilling. We had a lot going on so I thought I would share in a 3 part post. I feel stupid since I actually got a cool new Sony Cybershot camera, and only have a couple pictures to share this time around, but had a ton of grill activity.

I love my Barbeques Galore Turbo Elite Grill. Read on to learn what I like and dislike about this grill. My Choices When we signed contract on our second house, my old grill on a cart was falling apart. Since build time on the house was over 8 months away, I decided that I would buy a grill that could go in a cart or an island, and that could be converted from propane to gas. I did a lot of research on which grill to buy. The grill I wanted was a 30 inch Viking, but I was having a hard time parting with $3000 (plus the cart) before moving into a new house. So, my new first choice was a 30 inch DCS. One Saturday night, grill cart on my old 2-burner Charbroil gave out on me and it wouldn’t even stand up. Sunday, I went to buy the DCS, but the place I was going to buy it from was not open on Sunday and I could not find any place that had the DCS I was looking for. And since I just HAD to have it that day, I turned a well thought out purchase into an impulse buy. I went into Barbeques Galore and with their help, I found that the Turbo Elite met my needs at about $1000 with the cart and it had more surface cooking area than the Vikign and DCS. It has been about 3 days of cooking each week for the last 4 years and I don’t regret my purchase at all.
Here are my top grill accessories. These are the ones that really make my life of grilling simpler.
Tongs - I own about 5 pair of 12″ locking tongs. I will usually use 2 in any given grilling day (I am not very good about cleaning as I go). The longer ones are just a bit too long, and difficult to manage large cuts of meat. Since their are locking, I can lock them and they will stay in my pocket easily. Never turn your meat with a fork as you will lose valuable juices. Not sure where I got these, but they are dishwasher safe. Click to continue »
