I think I'm going to need a grill

And a place where I can grill. And whatever else is necessary for grilling.

My parents are gone for the weekend, so I've been left alone to feed myself. To this point, I think I've grilled every meal I've had this weekend except the omelet I had for breakfast yesterday.

I started off pretty simple. Some hot dogs, some burgers, some brats. I messed around a little bit with spices and toppings, but generally kept it pretty straightforward. But then, for lunch today, I got a little creative.

I got some shrimp, wrapped it in bacon, and then mixed up a little BBQ sauce and Tabasco and put that on them. Then, I cut up a little pineapple and threw it all on some skewers and grilled it.

It was spectacular. Maybe the best food I've ever cooked for myself. I hadn't had shrimp in forever, so that was great. And bacon on anything is pretty fantastic. And grilled pineapple might be my favorite fruit ever.

I'm trying to figure out what I can do to top that for tonight. I've got some ribs thawing right now, but I don't really know what I'm going to do with them. I might have to spend a little time messing around with sauces and spices again to see if I can find something good. We'll see how it goes...
