Ah yes, it's 30 degrees outside and windy. Time for some January BBQ!

The gas grill fired up just fine and I've got some Cola Can chicken and baked potatoes cooking up! Now that's what I call January food! :-)

1. We're having a January BBQ today, too! It's 78F with sunshine and a light breeze.

Wish you were here!

2. OMG, the 78 sounds wonderful! I really hate winter. Whatchya having?

6. We had a brisket, smoked pork shoulder and sausages. We were

celebrating my grandson's second birthday and the whole family came out to my son's house. It was a real treat to sit outside in the sunshine on a January day and we took advantage of it. The high tomorrow is expected to be 45, which is not that bad, but not as nice as today.

7. Brisket.....droooollll. Hope everything turned out great. Mine did, the BBQ sauce turned out great.

3. Every weekend I tell myself

that I'm going to shovel a path from my patio door to my grill, but some storm seems to blow through and thwart my efforts. Maybe next weekend . . . or am I just a procrastinator.

It's 20 F here right now, winds at 20 mpg . . . grrrrr

I have no intention nor any inclination to shuffle between my house and the grill this evening.

Wishing you grilling success.

4. So far so good. Usually, I'm shoveling a path to the grill, but since that freak rain storm we had,

the grill was pretty clear. I really slacked off on my grilling this year, so I have to make up for it with more winter grilling. My wife said that I lost my grilling crown because I hardly grilled this year, I had to defend my honor! :-)

5. Used to do that all the time when the grill was on the back deck!

Mainly because I can't bear the taste of frying-pan hamburgers. Unfortunately, at our new-to-us house, our grill is in the driveway, by the garage (we took the highly unsafe deck down over the summer) and we don't have a floodlight, so it's impossible to see how the cooking is going. Nor do we have a back door (temporary situation). So if I want to grill, I have to go out the front door and allllll the way down the driveway (it's long, believe me) AND take a flashlight. Can't go inside to warm up unless I walk allllll the way back up the driveway. Can't leave the meat unattended for that long.

So. No grilling this winter. :( Maybe next winter, when we have more renovations done.

Enjoy your nosh! :hi:
