Life without a lenscap

Woke up, and did some work while my parents wandered around and got breakfast ready. Took advantage of the outdoor shower [nothing better, ever], and then had a delicious breakfast with the folks. I helped him move their kayaks to the ocean, and we all headed out and I stopped in Providence to see Alan and work on his website [now live: http://angryalan.com] and my friend Brandon. We then got cheesecake! Then I headed home. This weekend, also, I deem a success.





( More photos! )

Today I carried on my excellent tradition of wearing other peoples glasses. Also, Brandon and Co. came up from Providence for a concert, but stopped by our place first, where we grilled kabobs. Of course the grill ran out of Propane mid-way, but a quick run to the store procured more. Day saved! Afterwards we generally carried on and had a pleasant day. We are a silly people.

So, I posted this photo a week or so ago:

My friend Juli [who I do the monthly mixtapes with], who I love to death, left the following comment:
Grill master....
GRILL MASTER?!?!
I smell a challenge!
[by the way you do look super adorable here! :) ]

With a trail to this photo:

So Todd, fancies himself a grill master.

Sure, he looks adorable standing there with his little smirk and grill towel, but is he really a master at the art of grilling???

Let's find out....

I challenge you to a duel, Sir.
That's right.
A photographic grilling duel!

We each pick 2 ingredients. All 4 ingredients must be included in our dish and everything must be cooked on the grill. Pics or it didn't happen. (we can hash out the rest of the details next time we talk)

What say you?

Now, good day!
I SAID GOOD DAY!
*evil laugh*

We laid out our ingredients and the rules [and decided to make it a monthly event] that week, and this weekend I posted this photo:

with the following title and caption which explains the rules and the ingredients we chose.
I'm sure you're aware, but Juli done thrown down the grilling gauntlet.

Well, guess what, ladies and gents - this grill mastah don't back down from no fight. Not even from a ninja - spatula at the ready.

We each chose 2 ingredients, all of which were required to be grilled, for the dish.

We done thrown down the 4 ingredients:
Shallots, Portebello Mushrooms, Peppers, and Romaine Lettuce.

All the ingredients are required to be grilled.

I must say, mine was DAMN tasty - it'll be revealed when hers is.

Needless to say, y'all, it's on like donkey kong.

I think you're now sufficiently up to date for what's now to come. Big reveal in a bit.
