Thrill of the Grill

Some of the best wedding gifts are the ones you get three months later! On our recent beach trip, Matt and Melissa gave us their gift to us. A grill. Big ol' grill. So big we had to take it all out of the box and put all the parts in the trunk and backseat just so we could transport it across the state back to our home. Todd was very eager to put it all together.

He worked so hard and the afternoon turned into evening...

Finally finished! It's a charcoal grill but with a propane lighter and lots of space for utensils and extra coal storage. Bonus! 

But then we had to figure out where to put it and how to secure it so nobody takes our precious new toy. Finally we decided to buy a chain and lock, grill cover and some plywood to place the grill on right off of our deck stairs. This is a really bad angle so I'll post another soon but this gives you an idea of where we put it and here is our second (the first was hamburgers) grilling adventure...stuffed peppers!

I wanted to pretend I would be the grill master but instead it is quickly becoming Todd. He came up with the idea of stuffing the fresh-from-the-garden peppers (thanks to his boss Merrill) and they were delicious! 

So THANKS to our fellow Davis clan for the grill. We are loving it! Official thank you card to come. In the meantime we seriously are inviting everyone over anytime to grill with us. The weather is just too nice right now not to be hanging outdoors! Come on over friends!

Cheers!
