Not So Great At Grilling
Well, I attempted to grill hamburgers and hot dogs last night. The hot dogs were good, the burgers, not so much. The burgers looked done on the outside and I cut one open and it was done too. But, apparently all the other burgers didn’t get done and turned out to be medium rare. Some folks, I’m sure, like them that way, but not me, or my friends. So, the burgers were thrown in the microwave to “finish” cooking. I guess I need a few more grilling lessons! I was disappointed, but my friends didn’t think it was as big of a deal as I did. All of the other food turned out great, and we had a fun time hanging out, and that’s what matters most.
To be honest, I didn’t catch all of the American Idol acts last night. I was in and out of the kitchen making sure everyone had what they needed. I thought David Cook put a nice spin on his Mariah song, and I was so happy that the stylists put some sleeves on Carly Smithson. Her large tattoo distracts me when she’s singing.
I only caught one episode of the two new Deadliest Catch episodes last night. I have the other one recorded and hope to watch it tonight. It appears as though the Maverick isn’t participating in Deadliest Catch this season, which is disappointing since I find Captain Blake to be the cutest guy in the fishing fleet.

Mmmmm burgers.
David Cook rocked the joint last night. Even Katie handled her business. The two bottom contestents in my book aught to be Syesha and Carly. I like Carly a lot but she was off the mark half of the time, the song kicked her keaster.

Hey,
No side effects from the burgers - yet. HA Seriously, they were very good even after a go-round in the microwave! I tried to found some 1/2 price Maverick hooded sweatshirts, but was not successful. Perhaps Ebay??? So glad you have this blog so I have one more distraction from my work.

I'm glad I can provide a distraction for you from your work. I sometimes need one myself, and this blog thing is proving to be quite useful. The only place I know to get Maverick hoodies is the Maverick web site.
I just checked it out today and they have some new hoodies and t-shirts, but unfortunately Blake is not the model like he once was. Maybe he doesn't work on the Maverick boat anymore? How sad!
I'm really glad you didn't have any side effects from the burgers. I can keep my pretty dishes now!

David Cook did a really nice job last night. I like him more and more every week. I also agree with your Carly and Syesha assessment. I think Brooke might also be in the bottom three.

Kristy Lee was shown the door last night and left with some customary parting gifts.

I missed the show last night, because I was at a retaurant opening, but called a friend that told me she got the boot. What parting gifts did she leave with?

I don't know, perhaps a denim Idol hat or some gel techniques exclusively from Ryan Seacrest.
