Just bought a foreclosure for 194 that had been 510 and after I burn it down with this grill it will really be the fire-sale that people tell me I got!

I have no idea how to cook on an indoor stove so this is going to be INTERESTING! I need to fire up a dating relationship with either a Fireman or an EMT fast!  Or take notes from this site! 

I have two little carnivores named Muffin and Elliot (Micro-teacup designer dogs who cost way more than the monthly house payment, even with a 15-year mortgage...but you know California...robbers here are more likely to stop and say "awwwww, how cuuuuuuuteee" and pick on some other house, so I keep 'em as protection).  Anywho, the streetlights in this gated community have video cameras so everything is video taped, (and the streets are private so it isn't an invasion of privacy...we saw to that legality) so nothin' is going to happen...except that I am probably going to burn down the community with these flammable knobs on this chinese grill. 

Anyway, I need to cook outside because it gets too hot inside and PG&E charges too much now that they have to pay for San Bruno. 

I don't eat scavengers so that eliminates pork and shrimp, crab, lobster. But I do want to see if I can get some kind of chicken rotisserie going on this contraption because I saw that on other models and I am envious.

If you are still reading you must be bored. Come on over. I make great Margaritas and I have boxed wine.

(I love the spell check on this thing...it tells you it is misspelled but provides no suggestions...thanks! Glad I have anti-depressants)

Anyway...

The scoop on this Smoke Hollow grill is that the knobs melt (cheap Chinese plastic) and I need to find out if anyone has been successful in finding replacements. Oh, right...cheap chinese is redundant. Cheapese.

That does not go for any Chinese Americans. I apologize if I have offended any non-cheap Chinese Americans. I realize I cannot run for public office (thank God!, I now have an excuse if Romney begs me). 

For those who are not offended and still reading...congratulations that you can read and that you are not easily offended.
