Or what is wrong with the courthouse wedding followed by a party with 20 close friends? Or my friends iwho had a combined wedding and reception with about 20 people in the back room of a bar they rented (the back room, not the whole bar). I do understand the fun of a big elaborate wedding if that is what you want. As far as I know most cultures do offer that as an option; some insist on it. But I don't see anything wrong small informal weddings either.

Last year we went to a party that turned into a surprise wedding. Really. Party host starts handing out kazoos, then has us follow along with her playing the Wedding March. Voila, couple and minister appear.
Didn't know the couple, but thought it was a good idea.

Hey. New board.
I've seen some recipes that put barbequed tofu on a sandwich, but the texture is a bit too mushy for that to me.
Hmm. True, but it might work well as a topping to a grilled portabella sandwich. Mmm, grilled portabella.
The George Foreman grill in my shared kitchen is truly disgusting. (And the oven is worse - as far as I can tell, it's unusable. Last time I tried, it smoked so much I set off the building's fire alarm. Very annoying.)
I may buy myself a nicer GF grill, tack a "if you use this you sure as hell better clean it" note on top of it, and throw it in the kitchen. Then I can take it with me when I move out.

What's wrong with the small church/courthouse wedding followed by the wedding party retiring down to the pub for beers?
Still happens sometimes! Ran into a wedding party the only time I've ever been to the t MyLastName tavern, in my dad's hometown...in Illinois.

Thrive to spite them
I need a George Foreman Grill.
Also last night in a fit of cleaning induced by extreme sleep deprevation I seem to have thrown out my box grater (a really nice one), 1 plate that I really like (I got 4 from target to make a set), both my drain things, two sponges, and maybe something else.
I have no idea what possessed me to throw these things away. At first I thought it was a bizarre dream, then I went looking in the kitchen and discovred I really did it. All the stuff is in the huge outside garbage can, but I'd have to turn the can on its side to get to the stuff and I don't love the things that much.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Are George Foreman grills hard to keep clean? I've only used my parent's and it was scrupulously clean but stepmom is kinda a neatnik, bless her 409-filled heart. I kinda want one but I know that I won't use it if it's too nook-and-crannied to be easily cleaned, I won't end up using it.

It's 84 in here... Ugh. Rest of the house is 93. More ugh.

Not Ambien. I only slept maybe 4 hrs each night last week, and then I last night i didn't fall asleep until .... I don't know, I was so tired but couldn't relax... I think I finally crawled into bed around 2 am. I should be asleep right now.
Maybe I thought it would be easier to throw stuff away rather than clean it.

Well, the newer versions have a removable grill plate that makes cleaning them a whole lot easier. But the simplest versions, yeah, are a bit of a bitch. The bad kind.

It was strange, being that we went to a party and a wedding broke out. But I knew the host and a bunch of the guests, and in a sense, it didn't surprise me that this happened with that combination of people.

We have an older small GF grill with an unremovable grill. Can't put it in the dishwasher. Still works, but a new Foreman is on my list of things I'd like to purchase if/when we ever have money again.

So, is using a Foreman grill actually like grilling outside? Does it just give the appearance of being grilled or does it taste like it's been grilled outside?
