Grilling Season!

Every springtime, a day comes where the first grilled meal of the season is necessary. Since the weather has been unusually cold and rainy, it's amazing that day has just now come.  Last night, we finally decided to bust out the grill for the inaugural summer style meal.

'Tis the season for ketchup, mustard, and pickles!

So Jay opened up the grill, and click, click, click....silence.  Click, click, click, silence.

Jay: "Dang it. I think the grill's broken."

Kelsey: "I doubt it's broken, hun, it's just probably out of gas."

Jay: "I really think it might be broken. Remember how it fell over 3 times this winter?"

Okay, not our grill, but would only be shocked to find this due to the fact that I can't grow a plant. 

We have this conversation every year.  It was out of gas.  You'd think we'd learn our lesson by now.
We have learned a little, just not when it comes to proper grill care.

Ahh, spring! :)   Sidenote: Clean sliding glass door.

Year 1: "Broken" grill. Kelsey pouts, Jay pouts.  Groceries go bad at home,  and grill doesn't get "fixed" for weeks. We go out to dinner.

Year 2: "Broken" grill.  Kelsey accuses Jay of not remembering this from last year, Jay runs to Walgreens to exchange gas tank, they eat grilled food at 9PM pouty moods.

Year 3:  "Broken" grill. Kelsey and Jay take mutual stupidity points for doing this 3 years in a row, and laugh hysterically while shaking heads at each other. Jay runs to Walgreens, Kelsey whips up potatoes on stove, and mushrooms in oven. 

We're still stupid, but eventually, we got 'er done!

Maybe next year we'll learn our lesson! Thank you, oh spring, for finally arriving.  You make grocery shopping and meal prep so much easier!
