Short article to read
« on: September 24, 2010, 10:05 PM »
Wasn't sure which section to post this under.

I have stretched out the words a little and have been writing some short columns. Here is a link to a fun piece that came out today. Please leave a comment there if you wish and thanks for taking a look.

Oh Steve, this was delicious!   I have absolutely NO desire to grill---it's the only time a woman catches a break from cooking!
So I think most of us pretend we are too delicate for such things.  Kudos to your wife!   You better hang onto her!  LOL
I love your writing style!  Share more!!!

I enjoyed your "hot" article!
I'm like elise. I pretend I know nothing about grilling. It's a nice break from slaving in the kitchen. Besides, that man's territory -- fire!
I listen for each lonely breath.

Don't pretend with me. You women are grill thieves and you know it!  Thank you for reading.  Hope all is well your way.

Hmmm, not really sure how to take that, but I genuinely enjoy it when anyone reads my work. Gracias, Halo.

Steve,

I will not grill in summertime.
I will not grill when it is fall.
I will not grill, winter or spring.
I will not grill ever, at all.

Regards,
Bill

Thanks, Mr. Bill, but allow me to say:


to grill is knowledge
to grill is joy
hence sep'ration
'tween man and boy

Dear Mr. Steve,

boys play with fire
men know its wise
to eat out where
good chefs reside
and also this
I must confess
eat out and others
clean up your mess

too cool to grill or not to grill
I my self love a grilled hotdog or even better a steak slowly cooked and yes I know its a man's territory
at least in my world, every time I ever tried to cook on a grill I eaither fed the coals, ground or the fire god would win and turn everything black Great Writting Steve
the grilling tidbits you and Bill created awesome

For a few dollars more
than you'd pay your own wife
to bring beer and meat,
I've the time of my life;
a waitstaff so willing
to focus on me,
a chef who reveals
food prep pedigree.
While you sweat over coals,
and swizzle your beer,
'mongst lizards and insects
I'm with friends of good cheer
who know that the best food
which makes palates sigh
is the food of the kind
only money can buy.
