THE GRILL ISSUE

I’m often asked, “What’s your favorite thing to cook?” My answer, “Grilling is my favorite.” Since this is the grill issue,.. I felt compelled to retrace the origin of my love for grilling. It was 1979, and every day after school, I hopped in my Dad's muddy brown Chevy to head over to the building site. My Dad built our house along with his brothers by hand, brick by brick. I can't believe how he'd let me play, never seeming to get irritated with my questions or requests playing make-believe while he worked so hard. The homestead is still there. It stands steady like like the sixty feet tall pines, planted as saplings. Every Easter, Daddy reminds us to look up, to see a cross forming at the top announcing new life. The closest town is about a ten-minute drive. Growing up, I felt like the drive was as neverending as a waitin line for Disney World's Splash Mountain.
