Strange Space Craft Lands on Planet LoCarb
And fear didst sweep the land. But though fearsome to behold, this raven orb cometh not for our destruction, but as a new altar of blessing. And there was much rejoicing in the land.
For in ages past we had sacrificed animals on the Altar of Propane, but lately we have climbed Mount Kingsford, beheld its light, and mined for briquettes. And lo, the flesh of the animals sacrificed has a new flavor. And yea, there is much singing and dancing.
Today I will stretch forth my bow and slay a winged fowl for the sacrifice. Or perhaps I'll just drive to the grocery and buy some chicken.

So you'll call when it's ready????
I've very nearly purchased such a space craft myself...but I'm not sure I can be trusted with the open flame. It seems to me that adventures in Bekahland might move to Charred-ventures in Bekahaland, and I am not quite ready for that yet. So for now, I enjoy the grillinary talents of others.
There's nothing like the taste of grilled meat and vegies using briquettes. Old-timey-style!
Oh boy, have you hit a sweet spot with me. A few years ago we discovered a brand of charcoal grill called Portable Kitchen and have worshiped at the altar of charcoal ever since. You're going to love this. Oh, the things you can do with smoke dampers and positioning on the grill! Two things you may already know, but I don't want to take a chance on you missing out:
1. Never use charcoal starter fluid. Start your coals with either a chimney or an electric starter. If you use the chimney, sprinkle a little vegetable oil on the newspaper you use to light the chimney.
2. Use real lump charcoal, at least use it half and half with formed charcoal.
And Bekah - trust me on this...you're much less likely to burn things on a good charcoal grill with a secure lid and damplers than you are with a gas grill. Gas grills flame up all the time and that's where burning comes from, but charcoal grills with lids can effectively close the air out so that it is impossible for the coals to flame up. So you can grill super hot without flames. The lid and dampers are the key to that.
Enjoy!
If you like asparagus, try coating the spears with oil and a little salt and pepper and grill them. Mmmmmmmm...lots of veggies are good on the grill.
Grammy,
See Malott's post on asparagus. I've been a little afraid of that delicacy ever since...
We've a couple of those critters on our lawn! So THAT's what they're for!
Now I don't have to go over to the Hill Residence and ask Hank if I can cook my food at his place.
(Hank doesn't let anyone borrow his gas grill.)
I hope you enjoy...both the grilled foul and the finally gorgeous weather.
There is nothing...I repeat....nothing, that smells better than something on the grill.
Asparagus pee...it's just proof that you enjoyed something great.
