Random Acts of Funny

Two randomly humerous moments of the week:

1. Monday night we had a few friends over to watch "Nashville Stars" (Billy Ray Cyrus should not be allowed to host a T.V. show.) We decided to avoid heating up the house by making hobo packets on the grill. (you know, the tin foil with meat and veggies inside. Dinner camping style) I started the grill to preheat, which does not involve opening the cover (at which point I would've seen that there was "gunk" on the grill from last time). About five minutes later when I came out to put the packet on, a fire was raging in the grill! Ok, raging may be a bit strong, but it was flaming pretty good, definately not on its way to burning itself out or anytime soon. I called Scott. We tried several things to get the fire out. To be honest, I'm not sure what eventually worked for him. Long story short, a mere 1.25 hours later, we were finally eating the packets (cooked in the oven, with the cornbread...it took forever!) with a shiny clean grill drying on the deck. Lesson learned: clean the grill after each use and check before preheating.
2. I heard Scott pouring a bowl of cereal in the kitchen a few nights ago. (Dinner had been a "fend for yourself" affair that evening...I cannot wait until Scott's school schedule is a bit more normal next quarter). I walked in to get a glass of water just in time to catch him adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream to his bowl of Honey Nut Chex. Yes, I have created an ice cream addict. :)
