Breaking in the Fire Table and New Grill

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00495

Tonight we got a chance to break in both the new grill and the new fire table. It is not a fire pit as I had called it previously. This is a propane fire table. The kids wanted to try it out tonight even though it was quite chilly and there were snowflakes falling from the sky when we went out to use it. Granted, the snowflakes were miniscule but there was snow in May.

baked beans

I was able to use the side burner to heat up some baked beans. I’m anticipating making good use of that side burner for many more things.

Allison sliced up some potatoes that we had gotten from imperfect foods. We started getting deliveries from them once the pandemic hit because that was a good way to get fresh veggies. What we receive is random, for the most part but we can select some things.

burgers and dogs

The fresh sirloin burgers from Chartley Country Store were so worth it. No more frozen hockey pucks for me. These were fresh burgers that were probably the best ones I’ve ever grilled. I also think that the Portuguese rolls made a big difference and also the fact that on this grill there is a good amount of distance between the grill grates and the heat source. It is definitely higher than my last grill.

This morning when I finished work I went out and seasoned the grates of the grill with some Canola oil. I used the last of our Lodge spray so I had to order more. That has certainly helped the cast iron skillet stay in good repair. I’m going to make sure these grates do as well.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
