BBQ Misfortunes

On Thursday (or was it Friday?) my beautiful wife had the awesome idea to go to a local park and eat our dinner. My dad got me a portable butane grill for Father's day and we wanted to try it out. So she had pre-made all the hamburger patties and we got the condiments and everything ready to go. It was a beautiful evening.

About halfway there, we realized that we didn't bring a spatula. So we had to turn around and go get one. If you don't drive around Rexburg much, you will need to understand what it is like to drive there. It isn't crazy traffic or anything. In fact it is worse. There are a million stop lights and stop signs that impede your progress from Point A to Point B. It takes way to long to get anywhere because you are always stopping and waiting. It is extremely frustrating. So we made our way to the park and thought we were on our way to an enjoyable evening (which we were).


After we got the blanket on the ground, the food out, and the grill set up, I turned the propane on. It was then that I realized we forgot matches. Sooooooo I stayed by the blanket and grill and Lindsey drove back to the aparment. It was a long wait. but she was safe. And the burgers were good.

Ventable material: Don't forget stuff and don't build a city with an overabundance of stoplights.

  1. Rexburg is a horrible place to drive. A good alternative is to bike. ;-) An even better alternative is to move to Bozeman, where the entire city is practically one big park and if you do have to go somewhere, by car or bike, people are super courteous. ;-D
