Grillin, Smokin, Eatin

My birthday was last weekend, so my husband got a new grill (what just happened, I thought it was my birthday).  This is not just a grill though...


the new grill hangs out in the basement because we have not bought a cover for it yet



...this is a gas grill, a charcoal grill, and a smoker.  I have never had such amazing grilled and smoked food.  The steaks cooked with a little smoke are amazing!!! This week we will be smoking some ribs from our dearest Lenny.

On another note...

...dog and puppy finally decided they love each other (the puppy loved the dog, before but the dog did not reciprocate)

An unofficial advertisement

I got some new shoes for Christmas.  They are great.  You should get some.

These are Toms....for each pair you purchase a pair is sent to a child in need of shoes in a third world country.  Toms is now selling sunglasses as well....buying a pair of sunglasses can help a person in need with their sight.  They call it "one for one"

This is not a paid advertisement for Toms.  I just like them, and it is a good cause.  Cute shoes
