Cowboys lose in playoffs AGAIN

It is not easy to write about the Cowboys after a performance like they turned in today.  Tony Romo looked flustered and pressured the entire 4th quarter, and the receivers just flat didn’t show up.  I guess this is going to be an easy Super Bowl year for the Pat’s after all.  I have never seen Romo look as flustered as he did today; I guess the new contract made him believe that he had to do the entire job himself.  The Colts were in the same predicament that the Cowboys were in during the 4th quarter of their game but Peyton didn’t panic the way Tony did.  No the Colts didn’t win either but at least they went down with a real fight.

Frustrating……………….

Gas grills

I know there are some out there who call themselves purists and will only use charcoal for grilling. Not me I am a gas griller all the way. I had my grill for about 10 years and every year it got better and better. After you have used you gas grills for about half a season they become what I like to call seasoned. By seasoned I mean they are full of all the grease and animal fats that when the next time they are started they add aroma and taste to everything you are grilling. It might sound gross to you but the same thing happens with a charcoal grill but to a less extent and you get the wood smoke flavor instead of the real flavor that everyone loves.

Well my old grill finally gave up the ghost and believe me it has been a sad day around the hood household. So I have been looking at new gas grills and came across a site where I think I am going to buy my next one. They have some of the best gas grills I have come across and the prices are perfect. I have kept the grate and some of the lava rocks that are nice and covered to give the new grill some instant seasoning. I can’t wait to get my new grill, these new gas grills are incredible, but I will always miss the old one it has been good to me for a lot of years.
