The Grill...

The following story will either make me out to be less than intelligent, or it will be thought provoking to the eye of the beholder.  Let's hope I land somewhere in the middle and go from there.

Today I decided to brave the heat and humidity of the late afternoon here in northern Virginia, and barbecue.  Okay, it was not the significant undertaking that I make it out to be.  Whenever I grill meat I tend to pull a rookie move.  A standing rule of those familiar with the way of the grill; when cooking meat over an open flame, it is turned only once.  You cook one side for a little bit, then the meat is flipped to cook the rest of the way.

I tend to display some serious ADHD while grilling, because I cannot just leave the meat alone.  If you are eating a piece of meat I prepared, you better bet that puppy got flipped at least 10 times, if not more.  It's like I get bored, or impatient, or both when it comes to waiting.  The grill, or "Man Grill" as I like to refer to it, definitely teaches me a lesson regardless of its rudimentary job.  My highlight from today...

1.  Patience...

"Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."
