To all mothers here and to my wife.


Any great ideas on what to do with her today? I already have the present and have been doing some H.I. honeydoos for a month straight, but I want to add something extra this year.

I suggest two different courses. The one that you take is up to yo based on your wifes personality.

1. A day for just you and her. Movie, walk in the park, nice dinner, drinks, flowers...

2. A fun afternnon/night with a BBQ filled with family and friends.
 
I'm letting my wife sleep till noon while I get up and take care of our daughter, I also took her shopping and didn't make snide remarks about how much we were spending.
 
My son had his tonsils taken out Friday so we've put off Mother's Day for a week. Which works for me because going out to restaurants on Mothers Day sucks.

Even still I bought my wife a spa day and I'm taking off tomorrow to hang out with the kid while she has her day of beauty.

Win/Win.

You are so getting laid. Win/win is right.
 
I woke up early, cleaned the kitchen after a hard night of partying (and making **** in the kitchen that I have no idea what it is/was. Made my wife a egg white omelet, toast, and a killer bloody mary. Great flowers, chocolates, and been spending the day by the pool as a family .. taking my wife mimosas as needed.. as she does her toes poolside.
 
I took the cowards way out and did a win/win/win.

Carrie Underwood tickets for her and her mother. (I'm sure I need not explain the three wins)
 
Did Mother's day at my place with my mom, stepdad, and Ms. Serp's mom, sisters, and one of her sister's boyfriend's all coming. Good times. Place was cleaned as best as it has been in quite a while and since their departure has been re-cleaned. That alone makes me happy as I'm OCD as ****. Used my new grill for the first time. Nothing special. Hot dogs, cheeseburgers. Made some pasta salad. Fruit salad. Chips. Cheese curls. Veggie tray with dip. Sangria, Beer (Summer Shandy, CL), Soda, Water. Played some corn hole. Ladder golf never came out.

I now want to master grilling. Question. How long does a tank last generally? How many grillings?

Mine usually last about 30 grillings .. but most probably get a little less as most of my food I cook quickly (like most things less done). Unless I'm doing ribs or something that I cook real slow .. but that isn't that often. I miss my last home as the grill was hooked directly into the natural gas line so there was not tank. Next home will have that for sure.

Any recommendations on something solid to grill? From inception to my mouth?

One thing I recomment highly is get a grilling bowl. It is basically a steel bowl with holes in it. You use it for grilling veggies and what not.

One thing i use it for is when I want asparagus and/or mushrooms grilled.

I take asparagus and portabello mushrooms and put them in a large ziplock back. Add olive oil, salt, pepper (any other spices you want to try) and garlic cloves. Zip it up and shake till everything is coated. Store in the fridge the night before. The nest day when you are grilling put the bowl directly on the grill and "preheat it" Then dump out the contents of the ziplock into the bowl. Cook.

I find that is a fantastic way to round out a meal. Grill some steaks, that asparagus/mushroom combo, a baked patato and a salad (if that's your thing). Maybe throw in a bottle of wine and that is a fine ****ing meal.
