Smells of Spring

Spring, or at least the warm weather, has officially arrived. It started last Sunday which allowed me to do my first grilling of the season. I am once again faced with my usual problem of cooking way too much food for the amount of people that are still at home. This was a problem when there were six of us here full time and it hasn't been adjusted downward for the 3.5 of us that are currently here now. As a result, my refrigerator is stuffed with overly charred hot dogs and hamburgers, with a few pork chop brickettes thrown in for good measure.

I excuse the overcooking by blaming it on the fact that it's been a long time since I last cooked out, but the truth is, this is pretty much a summer-long problem. In any case, between being saddled with enough food to feed a platoon and the fact that a substantial portion of the human population would consider much of this food inedible, there is just about zero chance that all of it is going to be eaten. If nothing else, I should be able to repave the front walk with the leftovers.
