grill me, baby

[mickeym]

Man, I hate money stuff. I hate that I'm sitting here staring at my bills and mentally moving stuff around as to when I'll be able to pay it, since my paychecks are going to be all jacked up.

I really, really want to get this, because I think that would be just perfectly awesome. Electric! No messing with gas OR charcoal/matches. It's (sort of) summer now, and I want to start grilling again. Hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken breasts. It's weird, I would kill for a grilled hotdog right now. Strange, huh?

I think for now, I'll probably just get the basic charcoal model (Walmart sells them for like, $25) and maybe I'll be able to get the electric one a little later in the summer, after my paychecks aren't screwed up any more.

I have this sudden and inexplicable desire for deviled eggs and macaroni salad, too. I might have to indulge those desires this weekend. (I am probably the only person alive who can't boil eggs well. Hence the 'might'.)

Also sounding good? Thin-sliced cucumbers that have soaked in vinegar for a while. My grandma always use to make those when we had cook-outs (along with the deviled eggs and macaroni salad, heh). I dreamed about my grandma last night; that I was at her house, having dinner -- sausages and beans, weird -- and my grandpa was there, too. I miss them both, but grandma especially.

Yeah, I think I'll spend the $20-$25, get a charcoal grill (for now) and do a cook-out type thing this weekend. Make some deviled eggs in grandma's name.

So, who wants to come over? :)

What I wouldn't give, for transporter technology!

See, I'm picturing it now: grilled hamburgers and hotdogs w/ all the trimmings. Deviled eggs, macaroni salad, fresh-sliced tomatoes, and the cucumber slices in vinegar. Home-made (from scratch!) chocolate cake (called a texas sheet cake, and SO GOOD OMG). Icy-cold diet pepsi or water to drink.

Guh.

Now I'm really hungry *g*

Re: boiling eggs- I always used to cook them wrong too. Can't remember where I got this recipe, but it really works. Start the eggs in a pot of cold water, then once it boils, cover it, turn off the heat and leave it for about 12 minutes. :D

It's nice to know I'm not the only one!

And thank you--I'll have to give that one a try. Deviled eggs are a must in my future this weekend :)

Good luck with your cookout! <3

Oh I would LOVE to come over. Why must you live so far away? *hearts*

I could ask the same of you!

We really need transporter technology. Or a stargate, I'm not picky. :)

Oh, man. Vinegar pickles! I haven't had them in ages! Cucumber slices, vinegar, salt and pepper, sliced onions if you like that kind of thing. Mmmm. I may have to buy a cucumber or two at the store.

Your grandma and my grandma must've grown up together. *g*

My mom is buying me one of those electric grills, too. Mmm, grillin'.
