COOK OUT IN THE SNOW.
++ WE COOKED OUT in the snow today. ok, there wasn't actually snow on the ground, well a little bit, but just trace amounts of it. but it was snowing as i stood there in sub-freezing temperatures with no gloves on holding the spatula standing over the grill cooking jtm's and hotdogs and one organic buffalo burger and three veggie burgers all but one with melted kraft american cheese singles with no hat and a wool jacket on in jeans and a t-shirt with shawn by my side helping and sarah, who isn't even a mentor, running back and forth delivering the 'hot' cooked goods inside and up the stairs so everyone else could eat while we stood out there for an hour cooking, well mostly standing while it cooked, but making sure it didn't burn or overcook, which a few did anyway, trying to stay warm standing over the grill, but it wasn't even really warm, except right on the metal and instead we just got a lot of smoke in our face when we took the cover off and mentees coming and going eating and from what i hear not really talking while sitting in front of the television which had the volume on low for some reason which was playing 'the newlyweds' on mtv and then some people who weren't even mentors showed up, which was fine by me, but they came and ate as well and when shawn and i were done cooking, well like i said really just standing there making sure nothing burned or overcooked which i also said did happen, we came inside to eat the leftovers which everyone else was too full to eat and so all the sixth years were on one side not talking to anyone except for themselves and all the mentees were sitting on the couches on the other side of the room not talking to anyone even themselves, but full from the food that shawn and i cooked, but like i said, we didn't really cook it, just stood there and made sure nothing burned or overcooked which by now you know did happen, and so the two of us ate while everyone else was there, but it was good, real good, and juicy, no wait, not juicy, greasy, yes, greasy, but the kind of grease which tastes good but is still bad for you granted, but it tastes good so somehow that makes it ok i think and then everyone left after the show ended because then another show was starting and it just wasn't as 'good' or entertaining as 'the newlyweds' so everyone left then it was just a few of the sixth years sitting around watching re-run college basketball from last year and then they realized they had stuff to do as well, so they left and i went to go take a shower, oh and the shower was really hot and it felt good to wash the grill-out smoke which was on me off of me and then i dried myself off and got dressed. its not snowing anymore, but its still cold and four hours later the grill is still going, but there is no food on it. ++
