Rite of Manhood

There comes a point in every man’s life when he must go out and join the other men in their persuit of the perfectly grilled burger. For Peter that day was today.

My Uncle Rich and Auntie Julie gave us a baby Weber charcoal grill when we got engaged… and we had yet to use it! Peter got the ball rolling this afternoon as he rescued it from the attic and set about assembling it.

He then made up the hamburgers and my contribution was a pair of ears of corn. The grill was moved outside and loaded up with coal. After a few false starts the charcoal started to burn.

Onto the grill went the burgers and corn. Peter checked in a couple of times to see if it was actually cooking. Unfortunately, due to conditions beyond his control, (it was too cold and windy) the grill just wasn’t doing its job.

So, pride in hand, Peter finished the job inside. The dinner turned out delicious!
