The Need to Grill!!

Last summer, I come home one day in the middle of July to find a notice on my door from my apartment complex front office saying they are banning all grills. They added that if we do not remove grills within the week, they will help us remove them. This can't be true!! Aahhhhh!! But I had to face this awful truth. I ended up selling my $200 charcoal grill on craigslist because I really didn't have anywhere else to put it. What a tragedy! You have to understand that grilling is what I look forward to most for summer. I would grill almost every night. Steaks, burgers, chicken, fish, shrimp, fajitas, pizza, ribs, veggies, kebabs, you name it. I would sit out there with a beer and grill and then enjoy my food outside. I would have friends over for some late night grilling just hanging out on the patio. What a nightmare, my whole summer ruined over some ridiculous new rule. I mean I've been grilling for years at my apartment! Well, luckily there is an exception to this rule. You are now allowed to have a portable or camping grill using the small propane tanks. Yeah, not exactly what I have in mind, I mean im a charcoal kinda guy, but this will have to do. I went out a few weeks ago and walmart was having a sale, picked up a really nice table-top grill for only $35! It has a 12 burger capacity which is plenty for the kind of grilling I do. It even has a warming rack above! Now I am really excited for grilling, there is no way in hell I am going another summer without tons of grilling out on the patio. Another problem was that I needed an actual table since it is a table top grill, I would feel kind of silly grilling on the ground. So, luckily I found another sale, this time for patio tables at ocean state job lot
. Only $30, and I even picked up the other grill supplies that I was missing since I sold literally everything with the grill. So now I have a grill that I can take camping with me (I am big into camping, love it) and I have the right set up to go with it. It will do for now until I get a bigger place which is soon. All I need now is some better weather, 'cuz I could really go for a Burger and a Beer, mmmm.
