Toys...



Two new toys this weekend! The first one is a liquid soap dispenser (Bed, Bath & Beyond) and I LOVE it!! Had my hands full of pots, stuck my wash rag under it and "buzzzz"...Soap on my rag!!Hahaa....Then, I Demanded....my OWN grill to be placed on the patio! Makes it so much easier to grill when you don't have to walk to the back "40" to cook. I made pork ribs and think they turned out pretty good. I still need practice when cooking asparagus...over cooked them! Oh, and by the way...Our buying the grill is Totally Donna's fault (Cottage Days)....totally!! I couldn't unstick Hubby's face from the photo on her blog post about Their grill...Hubby was salivating all over my computer! Hence...MY new grill. It IS pretty...brown enamel. Should be easy to keep clean. I Also finished the book I was reading, The Help. Wonderful!
Well, hope you all have a wonderful Monday. I need to figure out what I'll be making for supper...on MY grill.

Fun toys!With the asparagus it only takes a bit, I cover with olive oil.Like to roast all veggies, ever done a peach?Find the asparagus on the prairie growing wild and snack on it raw.Some people hunt it like they do morel mushrooms when in season.

Good grief! I take my eyes off you for ten seconds and you go on a shopping spree! I am so JEALOUS! That hand soap thingie had me worried for just a mo as I could not identify the green liquid! NOW I get it! And mercy, between you and the OTHER DONNA (Tennessee variety), you all are gonna shame me into buying my hubby a grill with his name on it! Gorgeous ribs! My mouth is watering. Grill some pineapple next.

I just got my very first gas grill. I love it. I can't wait to try ribs and asparagus! I read "The Help" recently. It's a great book. I heard they are making it into a movie. Happy Grilling!

Those pork chops look really good. I really like that soap dispenser too!!

Joan said...

I always wanted a Weber, but someone else around here...who doesn't even do the grilling bought a different brand.

Dolores said...

That's a cadillac of a grill, and I betcha you're really going to enjoy using it..... Yummy, the meat looks delicious!

I've never tried asparagus on the grill, sounds a bit tricky to not overcook it. You'll be an expert before you know it...

Kass said...
