Gentlemen, start your grills!

I feel it is well past grilling season despite the weather this week. Saturday was a nice day so the girls decided to talk me into making my world famous "messy burgers" to officially ring in this festive season. These have become one of the girls favorites, below is Alyssa's burger measuring just under 4". If you look closely you can see the pepper jack cheese oozing out the side. Alyssa talked me into stuffing them with jalapenos this time instead of green chilies, Kelsie and I don't have the gastinal fortitude to handle the jalapenos so we just stuck with the cheese. Kelsie just doesn't like that much heat and I was already working on a good case of heartburn. Sunday we were hoping that the storm would hold off long enough to grill some steaks but the snow came pretty quick so we had to settle for some stupid recipe I found in the paper. It didn't turn out, of course. I think the gods of dinner were just as upset about not being able to grill as I was.

I posted a video of Kelsie doin her thing on the ripstik (see Alyssa? I spelled it the right way). She is getting really good at it.
