Happy

Happy Reformation Day and Happy Halloween!

Enjoy the pictures from a happy weekend...

 We started off Friday afternoon with the CB&T Fall Festival...
 then dressed up as farmers to take our little Chili Pepper to the Freund's Halloween Party. 
 Saturday we celebrated a big Bulldog victory over those stinky Gators.  I was excited that Matthew finally fits into these cute overalls from Aunt CC and Uncle B!
 Today Matthew's sporting his monster costume (thanks, Aunt Tippi).  I think he's the friendliest monster I've ever seen. 
Finally, Jasper's ready to hand out candy, so Trick-or-Treaters, come on over!

Recent grilling experiments

We have tried some new food on the grill lately: nachos and pizza. Not what you would usually find on the grill, but they were both great. The nachos are pretty simple. We have a nacho plate that we just pile up with chips and cheese. Get your charcoal grill (the only way to grill) set up with the coals on one side. Put the nachos on the opposite side (indirect) and grill your meat over the coals. Close the lid and let the grill act like an oven. Once your meat is cooked, cut it up and add to the nachos along with more cheese, jalapeƱos, and whatever else you want. Close the lid again and let them cook until the cheese is melted and the chips start browning a bit.

For the pizza, set up your grill the same way. Cook your dough directly on top of the coals. Make sure to put olive oil on the dough so it won't stick. Cook about 2 min and then flip. Once you flip add sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings you want. We used pepperoni, fresh garlic and green peppers. After 2 min move to the indirect side of the grill and close. Let the pizza cook until the cheese starts to brown a bit. This was probably one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Give it a try!
(I now know what Laura Susan means about posting pics on here. There is no way to put them in the order you want!)

"The One You Need"... to download

Shane and Shane released a new album this week! We love this duo so much. I just downloaded the album, so I don't have any commentary yet... except that I have heard the title song "The One You Need" and love it! A must-listen for moms and dads. So go download it and enjoy!
