Just the Kind of Luck I Have

First of all, I had great plans to cook some pork butt steaks on the grill tonight since we have been enjoying some nice weather in the 70s with the heat off and the windows open. Except, after I got the meat seasoned up to cook, it started to rain. Just my luck. I am just baking it in the oven as we speak. Then to top it off, I needed to get a new tong and so last week I went to Dollar Tree where I have usually had good luck at $1.25 buying them and them working. I used it tonight and one of the handles came off. Ugh. Oh well. I can still use it, but I will probably have to glue it. I have a MegaMillions ticket. Based on my experience today I am sure I won't win a dime on it. How's your day going?

No luck, but I am sure that with a little glue it will work.

Yeah. Some of that Gorilla glue. That handle won't go anywhere.

I had a ho-hum average day. Nothing exciting. Good luck in the Mega Millions drawing.

@porwest Did you win? Did anybody win? I have been so crazy busy lately that I haven't even had a chance to look.

Even with all your woes, I bet the pork butt was delicious. Did you even get your $1.25 out of the tongs?

I will just glue the handle on and it should be fine. lol. Still. But yes, the pork butt steaks turned out awesome and we drizzled some Lille's barbecue sauce on top. Yummy.

My day was pretty quiet and uneventful. Got to talk to my husband twice today. That's always good. He says they might transfer him to rehab tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it. Have a good day.

I used to BBQ in the snow and rain. With a lidded grill, it worked out unless the rain was torrential. Sorry you didn't get to. Hope the pork steaks turned out well.
