Ingredients:
2 hamburgers
2 buns
2 slices American cheese
rain
Directions:
Walk out in the rain and turn the barbecue on. Walk back inside and dry off your shoes. Watch steam come off barbecue until it is dry.
Go out and scrape grill with wire brush, turn down to medium heat. Go back inside and get hamburgers. Christ, when will it stop raining?
Put two hamburgers on grill, close grill, go back inside. Chance of showers my ass. Take soggy flannel shirt off. Put on a sweatshirt.
Wait a few minutes, then go back out with a spatula and a plate containing buns, and your slices of American cheese. The buns will get a little wet. That's OK, you're toasting them.
If patties have started to "bleed through", they are ready to flip. Turn them over, put the cheese slices on top, open the buns and put them on your browning rack (if you have one) or on part of the grill that's turned off.
Go back inside, and wipe the plate off with your shirt, or with a towel if you're uptight about those things. Wait a few minutes.
Walk back out with your plate. You must act quickly now because too much rain will spoil your burgers. First the bottom of the buns, then the burgers, then the tops off to the side (to facilitate the adding of ketchup later). Shut the grill off, shut it (leave the spatula for now, you can retrieve it when it stops raining in August).
If you've done this right your burgers should be juicy with melted cheese, with light yellow spots on them from rain drops. The buns should be toasted yet slightly moist from being rained on.
Take off the sweatshirt, grab something to drink, and turn on the TV. Towel dry hair, if any.
 | it is so sunny here all of a sudden! |

It WAS actually pretty nice out for a few days, but started raining again immediately after I got the propane tank for the grill refilled. |
 | *giggling* Can totally relate! Did you draft this witty piece or did ya steal it? *smile* |
| jvon wrote on Jun 16, '05 No that is 100% me, and exactly how I made lunch that day. Ain't the Northwest grand?
I was thinking of mowing the lawn today, but it poured from about three in the morning until six, and the grass is all wet again.

| It was really fun reading it! I love the Northwest, though. Even with the raindrops.
When I hear of other people talking about yardwork, it always makes me so happy to be living in an apartment complex where it's all taken care of for me. *grin* |
| jvon wrote on Jun 16, '05 Oh damn, I was hoping it would get you all hot.
Yeah, it's really not so bad, usually. The rain gets kind of annoying.
|
| Nah...not soggy cheeseburgers. Keep looking for those subjects that get me hot...they're not too difficult to figure out. *wink*
I am so not a yardwork kind of person. I don't mind the rain, actually. Except when it really rains...then I'm not a fan unless I'm indoors. *smile* |
 | That's a very sad looking grill. :)
(cute recipe) |
| jvon wrote on Aug 13, '05 Hey that grill's been through a lot. It could probably use a coat of paint... but it's a freaking bbq, seriously.
It works pretty well when it's not infested with wasps.
