Sorry for the later than normal post this morning, a slight computer problem slowed things down, but all is well now.

Speaking of things not working right…

I hit a “trifecta” with gas appliances this weekend.

First was Friday night. It was a beautiful evening so I thought I would grill some salmon. Only one problem, our gas grill has decided the grilling season is over and so it wouldn’t light! It was pretty much dark and it looked like the grill needed a good cleaning and probably a new igniter, so I decided to broil the salmon inside, cover the grill (this time for good) and put “grill cleaning & repair” on my “to-do” list for next spring!

Which brings me to appliance number two…

As I mentioned in Friday’s post, my son’s Boy Scout Troop was having a recruiting event on Saturday at a local park. It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderful turnout. One of my responsibilites for the day was to oversee the cooking of lunch. We were serving tacos and refried beans. The meat was all pre-cooked and basically all I and another dad had to do was warm it up. We were using two camp stoves and if you are following the theme here you can probably figure out mine wouldn’t light!

We did have on working stove so we shifted things around a bit and got started cooking, while our Scoutmaster, who can pretty much fix any gear when it comes to camping, made some repairs on the stove and within a half hour, we were back to “full strength”! I am happy to report that lunch turned out to be a success and everyone was able to eat well!

Which brings me to the third leg of the appliance “Triple Crown”…

Saturday evening one of the kids wanted to warm some pizza in our oven and you guessed it…

…it wouldn’t light!

I think there must be some kind of “bond” between our grill and oven!

Maybe, “The Brotherhood of The Gas Cookers”!

“If one goes down, we all go down!”

Once again, that ‘ol pesky igniter wouldn’t do it’s job!

So we made do without an oven for the remainder of the weekend and I have already scheduled the repair for tomorrow.

Stayed tuned for further appliance updates!
