Ah, those Philistines have never had the joy of Yakiniku! There are few things in life as delicious as cooking small bits of food and then immediately eating it. Then again, $100 bucks a copy does seem a little stiff.

Also locally made dark beer, in addition to being an excellent fire retardant also makes for an excellent tongue and throat moisturizer; especially when liberally applied straight from that frosty glass fire extinguisher. Remember, only you can prevent wild grill fires.

You don’t give yourself credit as an artist, but I think you have a knack for taking photos (and adding captions) that make what some might consider mundane –sublime. Thank you for your posts.

Hmmmm! This gives me some ideas. I’ve been thinking about how I was going to manage cooking for 15 or so varied people this summer when you all come home. Maybe one huge firepit and a few grass rakes with metal tines might just work out. I’m sure I’ll be able to scrounge up some geraniums, dandelions and pansies to decorate your drinks. And I know you’ll be delighted to learn it won’t cost you a cent to do the dishes. I will still have to give thought to umbrellas, though.

” the “rain” could have been a staffer standing back with a big hose”

Yeah, you certainly got hosed, all right!

Over $100 per adult, and you had to cook it yourself! Geeesh! Maybe if you had paid $150 each, they would have let you go in the back and wash your own dishes, too!

Now that you mention it, the “rain” could have been a staffer standing back with a big hose, “encouraging” us to wash the dishes. Hmmm….. —Jeffrey
