Cooking With Coffee Tables

Having half of your kitchen freshly tiled presents the obvious problems. There is no walking on it, cooking in it, or eating from it. So to remedy the problem of dinner a couple nights ago, we needed to create a "makeshift kitchen." All one really needs is a George Foreman grill and a little space. So prior to tiling, Kevin grabbed all necessary supplies for burgers and dogs and brought them upstairs. What a fabulous (and unique) dining experience we had. I think my cheeseburger was probably one of the best I've ever had....despite the fact that it was cooked in our 3rd floor movie room on a coffee table!

There were definitely challenges encountered....there were no sharp knives, for one, and therefore cutting onions and delicious Hanover tomatoes proved near impossible. There was also the issue of crowd control. As you can see from the picture below, we had hungry, jealous, drooly mouths just inches away from our food.

It was a fun experience and I might even consider it again, but after all was said and done, there was only one question that we had......Why the hell did we not think of cooking on the REAL grill? You know, the big one? That cooks faster and makes less mess??? I honestly have no earthly idea why it slipped our mind. I do, however, have a theory. I think Kevin wanted to make this some kind of weird grill challenge.....
