She is Australian, a sizzler and a sleek one at that!!!!
We met last summer, one thing led to another and a passionate affair ensued. A mere touch of my finger-tips was enough to turn her on. Each episode was torrid and steamy. At such times being even in her near vicinity was like being enveloped in the hot breeze of a sirocco.
But alas! it was not meant to last for very long. One day I discovered that my fingers had lost the magic to turn her on. But we soon learned to our dismay that she had a diseased valve. Soon she retreated into her own self, ignoring me completely as I desperately looked for cures. Then winter descended and the mood was grim as all attempts at helping her seemed to be failing, but I kept up hope!!! She brooded away in dark and gloomy corners.
Finally last week, we found a blessed donor and a minor procedure brought her back to her usual self. And now we are back with the same passion - as if nothing had happened.
Of course I had to clean her of all the dust and grime that had collected upon her while she sat in the corner of the garage, being unused. Yeah, I was talking about my Aussie Grill.
What were you thinking?!!
No sooner than it had been fixed, after a brief clean-up we took it for a spin, with some Tandoori marinated lamb chops, EVOO'd portobello caps and sweet peppers. 8 minutes a side at medium-high and we had medium-well done chops - cooked through yet succulent and tender. The show stealer though was the side act of the grilled sweet peppers - with the flavors enhanced with the infused smoke. A small salad to accompany and a glass of Sutter Home Zinfandel (inexpensive and under-appreciated - good taste) and even a Sunday night, usually gloomy with prospects of a Monday looming ahead, turned lively.
No man worth his tongs and flippers should ever have to be without his grill - not even for one weekend.
