I realize the title of this post sounds rather narcissistic, but here’s why: I’ve been looking for a larger George Foreman grill (at least larger than I have now which fits only one sandwich), and it HAD TO BE completely cleanable, where all the grill parts can go in the dishwasher! I’ve researched all the different brands available (Foreman pretty much has a monopoly on the market), perused photos to make sure the parts were actually “detachable,” researched prices, availability, shipping costs, and then would get exhausted and forget about it for months.
Well, before Christmas I bit the bullet and finally ordered one online (free shipping, too!) And I owe it all to a grilled cheese sandwich I made myself one day that tasted like the salmon I had grilled prior to that. YUCK! No matter how well I clean and wipe and clean some more, I can never get the grill pieces (NOT removable) completely odor-free or taste-free of the last item cooked on it. So when I bit into my grilled cheese and it tasted like salmon, I a) just about gagged, b) threw it out, and c) got online in earnest and ordered a new grill. Now I’ll use the larger one for what I’ll call “strongly odorous” food (ie, salmon, fish) and keep the smaller one just for my grilled cheese and paninis! It’ll be sooo nice to just throw the smelly grill pieces in the dishwasher (3rd photo) and know the next meal won’t be contaminated.
Oh yeah… Merry Christmas to me!
And while I was taking photos of the grill, directly behind the grill, outside the window, the birds were having their holiday bathing fest! (sorry for the poor quality; I caught them at the perfect moment, but if I moved to get a better shot, they’d have flown away.)
Hope this finds you looking forward to the first non-holiday weekend in a while, and the solitude and rest it usually offers. As for me, I’ll be skiing all weekend!!! WooHoo!
~~Thankful for the skiing plans with my college roommate!~~
