The Best Laid Plans

[dragonheart]

It was a beautiful evening so I decided that I would grill burgers and we would eat dinner outside on the deck.  I really outdid myself by preparing all the sides and patted out gourmet burgers just the way my family likes them with cracked peppercorns and crumbled asaigo cheese mixed in with the meat.  

Sometimes the electric starter on our grill doesn’t work so we have a fireplace lighter for use when it is feeling stubborn.  Last night was one of those nights it wasn’t working so I leaned over the grill to light it when whoosh flames shot out of the grill and singed the front pieces of my hair.  Did you know that burnt hair stinks?  Really bad; and It scared the crap out of me as I thought it had burnt my face and eyes (thanking God that it didn’t).

 I then decided that making dinner was hazardous to my health so I turned off the gas, packed up the food, put it in the fridge and we went out for Mexican (and a big margarita for me).

I trimmed off the singed ends of my hair and even after shampooing - twice, I swear I can still smell it.

I hate that grill.

We have a BBQ but I don't think we've used it since the summer we brought it a couple of years ago, besides in my house bbqing is my Dad's domain.

Yeah burnt hair stinks ... my sister once held a straightener on her hair for ages. We opened every window in the house.

I'm glad your ok. And a nice big drink sounds like the best cure.
