I was NOT drinking, as has been reported, the night I ruined the hot air popcorn popper by grabbing the bag of yellow split peas instead of the bag of popping corn. Although... I can't think of any other excuse without the word "stunned" in it.

I WAS drinking the night that I figured the steaks would be perfect if I shut the propane off and went in the house to get a platter, another beer, and use the facilities. I returned about five minutes later to find that a fat fire had started and roared unchecked, absolutely charring four large (1 kilo each) blade steaks beyond recognition. The hot dogs were okay... boiled on the stove.
