I cook more than I grill.

Don't get me wrong. I love Pizza Hut. Used to grab a personal pan on the way out of Target just because it was there.

It was the only non-McDonald's chain restaurant we had in my hometown. Great pizza buffet. Every kid's birthday party was a Pizza Hut buffet (so I heard...I crashed one of them).

But I was always dubious about their wings. Not a thing until the past few decades.

But, I don't hate them.

Pizza Hut personal pan pizza!

I'm much better at and prefer grilling. I think it is more fun and takes a bit more attention.

Cooking is more like a math problem. Just follow directions. But, it can be enjoyable too with a good recipe.

Now smoking....

Just transitioned from Busch Light to Zacapa 23, not something ever typed before.

Same, until a couple Cajuns opened up a Poboy’s joint near us. I used to have the Pizza Hut foam basketball and hoop too. Dinner, breadsticks and TGIF when we got home. Those were the days.

Hot and fast in an old cast iron skillet , draped in cheese, onions and shallots.

And whenever you want. But be forewarned, the south lakefront is a long ride from Kenilworth. And the youngest is already eyeballing the "extra" steak and bread.

Knocked out some salmon, chicken, mac and cheese, veggies, burgers, and hot dogs on the ole Webber this afternoon.

Spmack would be proud

Cucumbers.

The 15 year? Will look for it at the booze shop next time I get there.

The Pizza Hut buffets were awesome.

Love cast iron.

My wife has done a thing with burgers where you place them on a couple onion slices and then broil them I believe, I'm sure it's on The Google Machine, and they cook perfectly. And you get some great onions.

I'm wondering if you could do the same with a smaller steak. Just typing out loud.

All this cooking talk should get Reason out here.

He's right, it's 5 star.

Frank with the make your own pie!

There’s an abandoned Pizza Hut building down the street from my work. It’s the saddest site because nothing can replace it. It still has the old design. A single tear every time i pass it.

That's how they make them in the original hamburger joint, Louis Lunch in New Haven

There is a Taco bell by us that was changed to a law or ins office.

It's 86-90 proof so don't let the smooth taste fool you

Catch.

The ceiling is low there but near the registers they were 20' high. I'd throw them up to kiss the ceiling, catch, throw em down on the peel and make a pie. At my peak I could go from dough ball in the tray to topped pizza in the oven in about 45 seconds. Shit pay, but a cool job. In a strange way, I miss it.

I have a classic Weber Kettle and a Vermont Casting gas and then the Oklahoma Joe smoker.

Cast iron is the shit.

Also, interesting experiment. Cut uncooked burgers in half, place cheese slice in the middle and cook.

Wife is watching Love Connection.

Just made an off hand joke that made her legitimately laugh out loud.

That has not happened in a long time.

Isn't the point to get drunk?

I was going to say. It looks like that's hitting the ceiling.

My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark.

It'd be hard to verify you invented the burger.
