A hesitant first foray into BBQing

I got a grill when we moved to the new house but it sat under the couch until tonight. I spent most of the day gathering supplies in the freezing rain and zw and i met up under the bridge. it was crowded and wet and hard to get the charcoal lit. we perserved with the help of some younguns. zw and i mostly discussed insects we've eaten or encountered. taiwanese centipedes sound scary, but the ones he dealt with in thailand are the creepiest thing i've ever heard of. i dont like the idea of intelligent bugs. alledgedly, scorpions are 'dry' when you eat them. we gave away some hotdogs and ate most of the chicken and mushrooms ourselves. lzyk hasnt realized the dirty grill is in our living room yet (i didnt think this through and i m not sure where to keep it).
