Our Newest Addition to the House

I have been telling HB since we moved that he should get a grill. Growing up, my house was always full of people - & I would have to say that a lot of that has to do with my parents ability to cook and have fun. My dad is a grilling machine - so I have pretty high expectations for HB (bless his heart). I like my steak between medium rare and medium. If you ask me a steak is absolutely ruined if it is well done - sorry if you like your steak well done. I am really horrible about letting my opinions take me off on bunny trails.


We went shopping for a grill on Sunday - I was still in full theatre make up and some lady at Home Depot let me know that I looked silly. HB was like a kid in a candy store. He was pretty sure that he already had his mind made up - but he worries over things like this - so we sat and analyzed the grill for a while before the decision was made. By the way, I am pretty certain I could build a pretty sweet house if someone let me raid the local home depot. I could probably live in a home depot... well I don't think they have any beds, so maybe not.

We didn't get to take the beautiful grill home right away, because they had to put it all together for us. So, HB picked it up on Monday and brought it home :) It looks gorgeous in our backyard doesn't it? We made steaks on it yesterday - yummmmyy. HB started marinating them at 7 in Italian dressing. We let them marinate in the fridge for about 8 hours and added salt, pepper, and some tenderizer and then grilled them - AH delicious! :)



HB burned off some of his arm hair in the process of heating up the grill. His arm was rank, but he was okay.

We are going to take a shot at smoking ribs on Saturday - we have some kind of reggae rib recipe that we are going to use. It calls for cinnamon and rum, so it has to be good. :) Anyone is welcome to join us up here in Shallytown haha!

Much Love,
The Maceys
