Neil's Cooking



Well, we had a little disaster on Sunday. We planned to cook ribs for our House Church which meets right after church. So, having the lunch ready at the right time is always challenging. This week we decided to cook ribs and we started them around 9 am so that they could cook slow and long. Neil and our friend Ben researched and thought they had the process down and figured out. Well, it didn't go quite as planned. We return to see the hoses of our grill no longer attached, the knobs blown off the front of the grill, and the meat aflame. We're not sure why or how, but we're pretty sure the grill exploded. As you see from the picture, the meat was inedible and we had to make other plans for lunch. We're trying again this week with a different grill and it will be able to be constantly supervised, so we'll see if we have better luck. And we purchased a new grill of our own. It was kind of fun but somewhat of a fiasco as well. Neil drove to Marion IN (a 45 minute drive) to pick it up. Dyllan and I wrestled it up onto the back deck (remember Neil can't lift more than 20 pounds still) and Neil started to assemble it only to find that it had a huge dent in the front. Oh my. He was able to return it to the Muncie Sears and there he found another deal. We have yet to hook it up and try it out but Neil will have several opportunities over the next week. Wish us luck!
