cooking with smoke alarms

[Two Rivers]

OK folks get ready for this.
I had a talk with the new GF about setting off the smoke alarms and cooking.
SO: I figured we could just grill outside and save the battery's in the smoke alarms. I send her off to grab some Tbones and sirloins, All seems well.

I have the grill hot and set as we prepare the stakes. I go to the garage thing looking into doing some Porsche work. All seems OK.

After twenty minutes I thought I would look into the dinner thinking its a long time passed.
HOLLY CRAP the grill is in a blaze.
I grab the fire extinguisher and put the blaze out.
Note: before the house goes up in flames.

Geeeze: She is a great person but is this going to drive me crazy?

I forgot: The garage doors and Mercedes are safe for now.

I ask her if she messed with the setting and the response was MAYBE but I am not sure.
Its just crazy.

Gotta agree with peppy here! Steaks are meant to be cooked hot & fast. Once I have my grill hot I can cook 6 - 1" Tbones in about 5 mins and have them ready to plate...

that, and I hope she is hot

You let a woman touch a grill?

Two Rivers, your man-card is in danger of being revoked. You'll need to perform at least two acts of contrition to wipe out this serious violation of the man-code.

They are not smoke detectors, they are pizza timers.........

[Two Rivers]

Please do not revoke the man card.
I normally do the grilling and just thought it might help her cooking skills.
Getting side tracked when cooking seems to be the problem. Believe it or not she can cook a great meal when she pays attention to what shes doing.

She feels bad and thought I would take her out to dinner but that kinda backfired.

The pizza guy knows the dogs by name and knows to bring them a treats.:-}

Clearly not what you were hoping for.

Cooking with flame in direct contact is mens work.

Look at it this way, she's treating you like a GOD. (Burnt offerings and all that.)

[Jim Richards]

Burnt offers...LOL!

Proper attendance at the 'Q' requires you to stare at it wit a stogey in one hand and a beer in de other....stogey and beer in onr hand only when flipping.
