Springtime is Grill Time
I am sick of winter - sick of snow - sick of warming up the car before going anywhere. Everything takes so much work, too much time. Probably the only great thing about winter is Christmas (well the holidays in general).
Thanksgiving is fun but demands a shit load of work. The menu gets planned a week or two in advance. Shopping, cleaning, prepping, blah blah blah. The actual meal itself takes hours (hours!) to make and in twenty minutes it's over. Then more cleaning. Once that's done, then - and only then - is my favorite part: drinking and playing family games.
Christmas is exhausting: more planning, shopping, cleaning. Add in decorating, more shopping, wrapping. Weeks in the planning and in twenty minutes it's over. Clean all that up and (don't forget Christmas dinner!) after that... drinking and playing family games. See a pattern here?
Then January, February - pfbbbbbbt. (That's the stick your tongue out and blow sound.)

| Yeah, it's winter and I'm enjoying that cigar - making the now-famous Lime Tequila Wings! |
Why can't we just drink and play games and get right to the good stuff? (That's called college...)
Kids have it easy - bundle up, go outside and play in the snow. By high school, you adopt that Too-Cool-For-The-Room attitude and building a snowman is off the radar. In college, drinking and playing games (usually drinking games) LEADS to playing outside in the snow! The shitty thing about being an adult is how much freaking work it takes to have fun. Especially in the long, dark, boring, crappy winter months.
Well here it is... Spring is just around the corner. Easier to get out and go! Get out and do! Golfing, grilling, (kick your feet up and light up a cigar) YEAH BABY!
I feel myself turning the corner and ready to share moronic observations and culinary adventures and kitchen disasters. Enjoy life, laugh a little bit. Let's go...
