Move Over, Bobby Flay!

Last summer, we got a super great portable grill as a shower gift, and over the past year, it hasn't seen the light of day...until last Friday!  Seeing as how Jim's birthday is coming up and we are having a cookout celebration, we decided it would be a good idea to try out our skills before the main event.  Jim took it upon himself to do some research and figure out how to make the perfect burger....

Step 1: Get the grill ready...this looks about right, doesn't it? 

 It's all in the way you stack the charcoal...

 Behind every good Grill Master are some good grilling tools.

 The finished product.  Looks good...

Smells good... 

Oh won't you try my burger??

I have to say, Jim really did a good job for his first time running the grill.  The burgers were delicious, as was the grilled corn of the cob and grilled zucchini...I think we'll be grilling out a lot over the next several months!
