Grilling with Friends

One great thing about the cooler weather is getting to spend more time outside. We are finally able to enjoy the patio set we bought earlier this summer. Last weekend, we bought ribs that we planned on grilling until we read the package and realized that they would take over two hours to cook. We grilled steak and chicken instead and had corn on cob and green bean casserole. Ferryn and Steve joined us.

Our little $25 grill is still kickin.

Last night we had another impromptu dinner gathering. We planned our time appropriately this time around and were able to make the ribs. Jason also made his family's famous "ranch potatoes" (sliced potatoes baked with butter, onions, and bacon), fresh green beans, and cherry dump cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert. We also grilled some chicken and turkey sausage and Ferryn made some great guacamole. There ended up being 7 of us, but we still ended up with WAY too much food. Jason and I will have leftovers all week.

The weather really is gorgeous though. I found myself making little excuses (I have to water the garden, I have to sweep the porch, I have to go admire my new car, etc.) all day yesterday just to get outside. I hope it stays this way for awhile.

Ok, gotta run. Jason and I are church shopping. Trying to find somewhere close to start going.
