The Love Affair with Miss RS.

I've been gifted with one of man's greatest creations, the Weber charcoal grill.   She is beautiful, as my wife rolls her eyes, shakes her head, speaking under her breath, "what a nerd, I just don't get it."  Don't get me wrong.  I do love the convenience, the ease of Mr. Propane.  The smell of propane just before the fire lights.  Hot grill in 10 minutes.  Breakfast, lunch or dinner done soon after.  You can't go wrong with Mr. Propane.  He's a rock, he's steady, he's always there.  But there is something special, something magical, something exotic about Miss RS (Rainbows and Sunshine, her permanent name now).  Mr Propane and I have a great relationship.  We have created fantastic and tasty dishes together.  Our bond has been long.  I will always remember these times together.  But Miss RS has swept me off my feet in a few short weekends. 

Beer can chicken......BAM....Rainbows!
BBQ pizzas.......SHAZAAM....Sunshine!
Green chili burgers.........BOOM......Sunshine!
Rib-eye steaks.......KABOOM......Rainbows and Sunshine!
Steak fries..........WHAM.....Rainbows!
Grilled corn.....BLAM.....Sunshine!

Old reliable Mr Propane has helped me with these in the past.  But from Miss RS, it was different.  I can't explain it.  Its just different.  The taste, the flavor, dare I say, exotic.  Rainbows and sunshine bursting in flavors in our mouths.  Mr Propane will always be there.  He's convenient and he's easy.  Who doesn't like that.  Miss RS has a piece of my soul now, sorry Mr Propane.  You will have just have to take the weekends off.

Hugging Miss RS.  Kissing Miss RS.  I love Miss RS. 

Shhhhhh.........just don't tell my wife.
