Steak Out!

          MONDAY, JUNE 22

              STEAK OUT!
    There was something missing during
our family vacation to Wildwood last
week. We had a very nice condo with
its own swimming pool. But there was
no grill!
     Now to be fair photos of the place
did include one of a propane grill. But
we were told in was only for condo
owners, not renters.
    I suggested we invite the owner to
our annual steak dinner so we could
use his grill. I couldn't get a 2nd to
my motion.
    The option of bringing our own
small grill was ruled out by a rule
prohibiting their use on upstairs
decks.
     So, while we dined on everything
from chicken and  pizza to spaghetti
and sausage our steaks sat in the
freezer just waiting for a flame!
    There were a few diversions that
helped get us through. First, we
had an Ice Cream shop right next
door. Then my daughter took a
morning walk and came back with
Sticky Buns! I always say if you
can't have steak you should have'
Sticky Buns.
    Our last day came and still our
steak dinner was on hold. We just
needed a grill and a chance.
    We found it yesterday when I
and several other Dads in the family
gathered at my son and daughter-in-
law's place where the Wildwood
steaks found a welcome spot on
their grill. It was like extending our
vacation for another day..without the
ocean!
     And, of course, it was Father's
Day. A perfect time to enjoy some
cards, presents, and several very
thick steaks! If only we had saved
a couple Sticky Buns!
    Hope you've got a grill at the
ready, steaks in the freezer, and that
all your NEWS is good! (Maybe some
Sticky Buns too!)
