Disappointing Dinner

Published by pattye under Other Edit This

We had beautiful weather today.  It was in the 60’s and nice and sunny.  It was a welcome relief from the cold weather we had earlier in the week.   I went grocery shopping today and when I saw pork steaks on sale, I decided to barbecue tonight.  I looked forward to it all afternoon.

I lit the gas barbecue grill and came back in the house to prepare the pork steaks for the grill.  I checked on the grill and noticed the flame seemed faint.  I checked to make sure that I had the propane tank turned on and I did.  Unfortunately, it appears that I only had enough propane to light the grill for about five minutes.  We live 30 minutes from town.  It would take an hour round trip to buy a refill.  It was getting late, so I decided to prepare the pork steaks on the indoor grill.  I do not like barbecuing on it because the barbecue sauce makes a mess on the grill.  Also, I prefer the taste better on the outdoor grill.  I love the indoor grill for regular steaks, but not pork steaks.  I went ahead and prepared them indoors because I really do not know when I will buy the propane and I had my heart set on pork steaks.

Don’t worry about the smoke.  We have a huge exhaust fan that keeps it where it should be and not in the rest of the house.  It stays right above the grill.  Barbecuing causes a lot more smoke than grilling other things.

The steaks turned out okay, but I should have waited.    They would have been so much better prepared outdoors. LOL
