It's A Girlummm.....I mean grille. Or grill. Or outdoor cookery.
Yes, our Memorial Day weekend, between the showers, thundershowers and threat of rain was spent at Lowe's.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, as I don't usually complain about Lowe's and Homo Depot. Honestly, we were killing time hoping it would clear up....but it never did.
We looked at counters for new bathroom sinks and actually started to discuss bathroom tile. And it didn't end in a knock-down, drag-out fight like our last bathroom renovation. Actually that wasn't a physical fight either, but feelings were invalidated and hurt. Words were left unspoken....for days. A few slaps would have been a welcome change.
Anyhoo...Lowe's really isn't the place we are planning on getting our tile. Just ideas. Germs of ideas, if you will.
We also looked at some patio furniture (it is so hard not type 'Patty O'Furniture). They had nothing. Or more to the point, nothing we liked or wanted.
But they did have grills. From decent prices (what we purchased, and what is pictured at the top of this post) to behemoths that are over $1200!!! For $1200 I could rent Bobby Flay to do my cooking.
We have a grill, but it's on its last legs. Well over a decade old, we thought it was time to swap it out. Almost nothing comes in black anymore. Stainless is the way - as if you really have a choice. You also cannot not get it without the side burner. I'm never making baked beans or soup on my grill. I'm not Bobby Flay (thank you jebus!).
The grill is for chicken, burgers, steaks, ribs, fish and corn. Men's food!
I know this time of year there are big controversies on gas vs. coals. I don't doubt coals are nice and give the food more Flavor Flav.....but who has that kind of time? Heat them up. Cool them down. Then the clean up. Oy. It also doesn't help that the fear of burning myself while starting that shit would have me at Rally's before I ever fired one up. I'm fine with gas and an auto-start button.
The box
I'm such a grill.
