It's quite simple, actually

please allow me to 'splain

Yes, my grilled chicken plan crapped out for our Thanksgiving feast. Oh, it was tasty enough, just not what it could have been. Turns out that right when the fire was at it's optimum level, our son decided to have "issues" of the needy kind. So I got the chicken (brined and stuffed with apples, onion, garlic, and lemon pepper) to the grille about 45 minutes later than I should have.

Like I need something else in my life to piss me off. I mean, we're not drilling in ANWR, our borders are far too lax, our taxes are too high.....trust me, I could go on and on.

Sigh. And now I have to take abuse from the gas grill people. Bring it on.
