I'm thrifty! I'm grilling! I'm happy!
Topic: People/Family stories
I took my 2 teens shopping yesterday at a large thrift store here. They needed some clothes for starting high school in a few weeks, and I decided we could get more if we began at a thrift store.

I was right!

We found jeans, capris, t-shirts, and shorts. I even found a pair of Old Navy jeans, kaki capris and jean shorts for me. *yes*

My first stop upon entering the thrift store though, was the furniture/appliance section. Thinking I might find a cheap bread machine for my college daughter, instead my eyes found something I've been wanting for a few years now: a large George Foreman grill! Ten bucks...and I'm doing the happy thrift store shopper dance!

I had another shopper eyeing my grill and he even made a comment on what a find I had found...saying he had been looking for one of those. That is when I ducked behind a rack of clothes and hid my grill beneath my Old Navy jeans. And I made my girls keep their eye on my cart while I tried on some clothes too. I felt like those seagulls on Finding Nemo. "Mine....mine...mine, mine, mine." I just hope it works well after all this bragging...heh.

It didn't come with an instruction/recipe book or a drip tray, but I think I can manage. Any tips on cooking or recipes for the grill would be much appreciated!

Now I won't have to fire up the grill every time we want grilled chicken or burgers! Or brats, a panini, grilled veggies, garlic toast, steaks, fajitas.....wheeee! =)
