THE GRILL!!!!!



I know its early for some but I've been thinking about buying my next Grill!! I love to grill anytime of the year. Even in the winter.Yelp winter. I know its cold. No, I haven't lost my mind.Well maybe a little... Well maybe a lot but not about grilling! I can smell my Bam Chicken cooking now! OOOhhhhhh. I can't hardly wait to get family and friends over and have some fun!! Good food, family and friends. You just can't beat that!!


AND HERE IT IS!!








TA-DA!

Brinkmann Single Zone Charcoal Grill

Isn't it beautiful!!!! It's a smoker too!!!!Be still my heart!!!!

I'm so excited!!!!!!!!! Can't hardly wait!!!!!!!!
I can just see me standing in front of it now!!
Can you see me? Look real hard.See me now?

Okay, So you don't. Well here's a couple of grilling tips for ya anyway.The first one I got from Pioneer Woman. If you haven't checked her site out you really are missing out !!!

She has lots of great recipes and other cool stuff! The second tip I got from my brother- in- law James. Thanks you guys for making my life yummier!



Grilling tip #1:When buying hamburger look for 80/20 lean .It makes for juicer burgers and holds together better.

Grilling tip #2: Use beef broth to keep your burgers juicy and hot! I put a heat proof dish or store bought aluminum container on top of my grill or in the oven.As I finish cooking the burgers I put them in the broth.This is especially great if your cooking for a big group!

Happy Grilling!

Let me know if these tips help with your grill'in.
Be listening out for ya!

Below and at the party are pic's that were taken with my new camera. I have alot to learn! But it will be so fun!!! Below are at work Friday.The first shot was the guys under the silo loading with asphalt. The pic under this one is with my zoom.




The pic above was with the zoom also. I was a couple of trucks away.This is my buddy Ray.I work with him almost everyday.


This pic below was taken in my back yard. We had a beauitful sunset!



The camera does a pretty good job! The button pusher needs alot of improvement though!

Cheyenne


Cheyenne, originally uploaded by The Mother Trucker.

Cheyenne is quite a trip! She will ring a bell at the back door when she needs to go out.She's very smart and has facial expressions that are so cute! You can read her mind with them! She will try to get you play by teasing you with her toys.She lives with a smaller dog and she thinks she's the same size. Especially when she jumps on the back of the couch! So funny!

Sunsets and Sunrises

What is it about sunsets and sunrises that are so wonderful?

I think they give you peace,a time to think and just feel.
I love to see a sunrise or sunset over a beach and feel the
ocean air against my skin. I love the smell of the ocean also.
I think it is one of the most beautiful places to experience them.
Some are so breathtaking and awesome! I don't want them to end.

How do you feel about them? Leave a comment and let me know.
I would love to hear from you!
