And (Ka)bob’s Your Uncle!

Woohoo! Two days in a row! Back into the swing of things again it seems. It helps that I am grilling again now that the summer-like weather has arrived. I went to Homebase (kind of like Home Depot back home) and they had 15% off everything today and I picked up a couple of big bags of charcoal and so I am good to go for a while.

What was on the Chez Chris’ Grill menu today? Kabobs! I pulled out the good ole Weber’s Big Book of Grilling and found a simple recipe – olive oil, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, garlic, fresh mint and oregano. They ended up being a little bit more garlic-y than they were supposed to be as I mixed up 2 tablespoons with 2 teaspoons – oops! It happens once in a while. They actually were really nice that way with just a hint of mint and lemon, so I may use a bit less garlic next time but more than the recipe calls for. And how can I cook without taking pictures? Well, I can’t, and so here are just a few, as well as a shot of my grilling setup – rocking chair and all.

On the job front, I called back the messages that I received yesterday but one of them did not get back to me. However, the recruiting office with the job that I am most interested in – part-time team leader in downtown Leeds – was in the office and we chatted for a couple of minutes. She seemed to like my prior experience and we made an appointment to meet on Monday morning. So, I get to head into the big city of Leeds and see what positions they may have for me. Some positive news on the job front and hopefully something will pan out from it.

Now I am going to get back to my dessert (a glass of scotch) and The Dog Whisperer. We are hooked on the show and the dogs. Oh, and Bob Barker rocks! Don’t you forget it! And don’t forget to spay and neuter your pets.
