Grill Inaguration

This weekend, we finally bought a grill.  We've been meaning to buy one for years.  I'm sure really sure why we haven't Part of the reason we didn't was that we weren't sure exactly where to put it.  But now that we have a spot especially for a grill, we bought one.  And tonight we used it for the first time.

Way back in 2001 or 2002, when we lived in St. Albans, we went to a garden auction.  We bought some plants for our hanging basket, the round folding table and chairs that are on our back porch, and a box of BBQ tools.  Since we didn't have a grill, we held on to the tools, shipped them in the container across the Atlantic with the table and chairs and the rest of our household, stored them in Chicago for nine months, and then moved them out here.  They've been in or basement since 2003.  Today we took off the string and opened the box.  Colin used the tools to grill our sirloin tip shish kabobs.

We enjoyed a Pimms while cooking of course.  Delicious first meal off the grill.
