Meet our new family member!
We finally bit the bullet and bought a new gas grill last week! We had been using the grill at the top of the dock for almost a year now and it was time we got our own.
As you can see, it's not a BIG brand name like Weber, Char Broil, Broil King or even a Kenmore. Nope, it's a Lowe's extra special, not so top-of-the-line Brinkman. But, it does have 3 burners, a side burner for HUGE gaseous pots of beans and a lot more grilling room. Now we can do 2 pizzas at a time like all our friends!
We've already christened it out on a Mexican Pizza and a Caramel Apple Pizza, and I gotta tell you, those babies tasted a heck of a lot better on our grill than on the neighbor's grill! I'm sure it's not a proven scientific fact or anything, that pizza tastes better on a NEW grill. But, phsycologically, deep down in the depths of my pizza belly, I knew it tasted great! Like WOW! This is the absolute best pizza evah!
Now, I can't wait to try out all the new pizzas that I've been dreaming about. Designer Pizzas! Seriously, I dream things up and John says, "Where the heck did that come from?" I really have no idea. Maybe I should write a book!
(Oh, and BTW, that $700,000 boat in the background? Yeah...it's not ours!)
Looks like a nice new baby for you! Now I expect to see lots of new grilling recipes.

Congrats!!! Finally got one of your own! Guess what? I made a grilled pizza today for the first time. I used your recipes on how to do it, and used your basil pesto recipe, and added sundried tomatoes. Sauted some shrooms and onions, and voila! A wonderful concoction that even Steve liked! The pesto and Tom. made the pizza, it was SOOOO good!

Congrats on your new grill (and bummer about the $700k boat -lol)! Your pizzas look and sound like they were delicious (no matter where they were cooked)! tfs
