And in what kinda sounds like a pathetic accomplishment

I actually grilled my dinner tonight!  Grilling was always David's job and I didn't even know if I would be able to turn on the grill, but I did.  I made hamburgers (made extra so now all I need to do is nuke the leftovers), did almost burn a couple of them but seriously not bad for my first time using this grill by myself.  Just wish I had thought ahead to make myself some potato salad to go with the burgers.  But I do have some slow churned strawberry ice cream for dessert. :-)
