Like the 4th of July...

Made some flank last night, and there was something in the marinade that made the burners sparkle. Not a great shot, but I've never seen flames look like this.

Fortunately, the steak turned out as usual - perfect!

What's wrong with this picture?

"Hi, I'm Paula Deen. I've just finished grilling these meats, and am now resting my arm on a flaming hot hood."

Ouch.

Start 'em early

Homemade chicken nuggets on a Jack-and-daddy night.

OK, two things dad needs to work on: pan-frying and flash photography. They actually didn't burn, but I should have flattened the cutlets first - and the parmesan we added to the bread crumbs fried pretty dark. Stir fried soy green beans and cucumbers in an improvised vinegar/chili oil/sugar sauce turned out much better.
