I can't believe I started this mess almost two years ago. I've known I needed an outlet to express myself for a while, but it seems that I haven't been "inspired" to write anything until now. What inspired me?... a gift... A book... A BBQ book. Before I get into it I should give an update on my "Dream House". I bought a house in Cardiff-by-the-Sea in May 2010 and have been working on making it my dream home ever since. It's a slow process but I'll get there eventually. It has been very rewarding to work on something that I OWN!
So back to the book...This past weekend was my birthday and my girlfriend Jenny gave me this BBQ book that well...inspired me. I was really captivated by it and made me want to cook everything within the binding. It also made me want to buy every single BBQ accessory that this book suggested but that would be an expensive undertaking. I'll just let my girlfriend and family enjoy this new age of me being super easy to buy gifts for ;) . So far I've only read the introduction and skimmed through some of the recipes but one thing I've taken out of it so far was that the author suggested you write everything down as you do it... so I thought, "I have a blog! I can write!...sorta, as well as any other dumb construction guy at least." At first I though maybe I should start a new blog dedicated to BBQ but then I decided that my original blog might still be appropriate and I can post a wider variety of my ideas here. Unfortunately I left the book at my girlfriend's parent's house so I can't plan my first test of some of the recipes just yet but I hope to share my adventure in BBQ, Home-owning, and life in the medium. So here I am, writing, mostly for myself but also for anyone else who cares or is interested. Hopefully it doesn't take me another year to make my next post!
