The husband got a new toy today. He’s been wanting one for awhile, so he finally splurged.

After he brought his new toy home, I headed to the store to buy approximately 10 pounds of dead critters for him to cook up.

Spud went off to play with friends, Tater played vigorously in the backyard, and the husband cooked carcasses. During all of this, I prepped other food items, and tried to keep messes tidied. It was all kind of fun.

So…….Grills confound me. If someone told me to grill food, I would stare stupidly off into space and drool. Therefore, grilling food has always been, and will always be, the husbands job. I don’t get too worked up over grilled food anyway. I mean, really, I’m a vegetarian.

Smoked cheddar *drool*:

My Morningstar “burgers” got their own special section on the grill so as not to be contaminated by the dead carcass grungies.

Grilling onions *drool*:

My soy burger was actually very very good. I wolfed that dude down. It really hit the spot.

Please take a careful look at the above photo. Notice my nice faux-meat burger with smoked cheddar, lettuce, pickles, and grilled onions.

Now look at what my husband ate……

Dude.

This is why my intestines and blood-pumper are undoubtedly way more sexy than his intestines and blood-pumper. I’m certain of it.

Anyhoo…

For dessert, I’m whipping up a quick strawberry shortcake.

Strawberry Shortcake is just not my thing. In fact, I don’t eat any of it when I make it. But, the husband would sell his children for it, so I make it every once in a while because, well, I’m cool like that.

And that’s it!! Got some more posts coming soon.

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms reading.  

Oh yeah…..

Since grilling season is upon us, I thought people should know what hot dogs are made of….if you don’t already know. Let this little movie clip educate you…….

I ate this Strawberry Shortcake. It was very good. Maybe my taste for it is changing???
