Tonight, we took a chance on the dark clouds that loomed above and fired up the grill anyway, hoping our bet would pay off. And it did, in the form of well-cooked hot dogs, Brussels sprouts, and baked beans!
Initially I was concerned that even if we were able to cook out, we’d have to come indoors to eat (because who wants to run inside mid-meal when the sky opens up?). But by the time dinner was ready and the buns were toasting on the grill, the clouds had given way to evening sun, and even the humidity dissipated, giving us a nice cool dinnertime under the blue sky. Success!
And the meal appeared to be a success, too (if I do say so myself). Of five franks, only one was left at the end of the meal (which LeeLee will probably have for breakfast tomorrow – he’s weird like that), and there were no more sprouts or beans to be found. Paired with a homebrewed beer, it was the perfect meal!
The stats:
Tofurky Franks: FREE!
Buns: $0.99/eight ($0.12/person)
Brussels sprouts: $2.00 ($1.00/person)
Baked beans: $2.00 ($1.00/person)
GRAND TOTAL: $4.99 … or $2.12 per person.
:)
For the record — a hot dog with spicy mustard makes the PERFECT breakfast.
Weirdo.
