Drunken' grill master
Posted @ 10:38 a.m. on 2006-01-06
It’s been a few days since my last entry, with good reason. I was busy.
In the last entry I failed to mention that directly after the “Pee test” a coworker and I want to get mass amounts of food for a cook out at work. We ended up spending $105.30 on food and condiments. I fit it all in my trunk and that’s it.
I brought all the food to work and after a mediocre day was told to help the young ones start the fire for the grill. I walked out a supervised, which is to say I held the lighter fluid and when I saw the flame die down I hosed the coals and watched the pyro-enjoyment. We started cooking about 20 minutes later. Anyone who knows me knows that where there is a Bar-B-Q there is Hubyman with a pair of tongs and a hamburger flipper. The one guy said that the smoke coming of the coals was getting to him. I know that he was stupid and got his hand too close to the fire and singed off his knuckle hair. Either way…he was crying. Pussy! So I, being that nice guy that I am, braved the sweltering heat and billows of smoke to make sure that none of the food became burnt. Honestly I had been itching to get in there. I stepped up and with a loud booming voiced announced “The Drunken Grill Master has returned”.
I received this name from another party with coworkers. There was a grill, hot dogs, hamburgers, pork ribs, and mass amounts of beer. I manned the grill and many beers. I never dropped food off the grill or a drop of beer the entire night. I got hammered over cold beer and hot coals. Life was great. That’s how I got the title.
The rest of the cookout went well and I smelled like a grill all day. I was in heaven.
Later that evening, Wifey and I went to Hilton Head to the outlet mall. We bought some things for the kitchen and she bought some baskets from Pier1 Imports. I’d say it ended up being a decent day.
Got up and remembered that my tot had to get to preschool. Today was her first day back from being on Christmas vacation (Holliday for my Brit. Friends). Nothing special happened in the few hours between waking up and going to work. One of Wifey’s friends who separated from her husband, for good reason, returned. Good luck to her.
We also went in search for fake plants to hang off of our back porch. We didn’t find any but we did get a stroller for baby and another basket for Wifey and a Batmobile candy tin that was only $2. I steadily add to my collection whenever I get the chance.
A couple of days ago I started a killer bean soup in the slow cooking crock pot. I added beans, of course, water and Guinness. It cooked for 24 hours, at which time was tested and found to be delectable. I continuously cooked until last night. The pot appears to be empty. I think I have found a comfort food with a little extra.
