The Grill of My Dreams
Civilisation started when man mastered fire, and got much better when he discovered cold beer
Our retail store customer appreciation day was a smashing success! We grilled up burgers, smokies, European wieners (if they were really European, wouldn't they be European Viennas? I tried looking up 'wiener' on the internet to confirm this. My conclusion: don't look that word up on the internet) and one lonely veggie burger, which was for me, in solidarity with my Vegan peeps. Go soybeans!
It's not a barbecue without fried onions. Joanne Harris, one of my right-hands in yellow vest.
After an unpromising start to the day, with wind and rain I decided to ensure success by setting up a rain awning, and it worked. If you bring an umbrella it'll be sunny! And the weather broke beautiful for the rest of the day.
Welcome to the rainforest!
We had about 85 people stop by for grilled stuff and a spin of the Wheel Of Discounts. The WOD was set up so that anyone could give it a whirl and get a minimum 10% off of their purchase. Since our retail store is pretty careful not to compete with our local retailers (it would hardly be fair!) we do this once a year to say thanks to all the folks who have been coming to see us for decades. Some of them even brought their little ones.
Mommy, why is the big, scary weirdo pointing a camera at me?
Soon enough it was overflow under the awning and sprawl in the parking lot
A wine kit in the car, a burger in his hand, and a good woman by his side--he has it all!
Good dog--but why no wine?
Of course it was all soda pop and icewater: we can never give wine away under Canadian excise laws, but that didn't stop people from enjoying themselves, even the cook.
Iron chef? Sure, if you mean 'heavy, rusty and prone to flaking'.
