The propane tank story is really funny, especially your bit about really wanting the marinated steak enough that you'd even consider becoming a fireball, but so much agonizing truth told in jest. You know what I mean? For you, it's a big, brave step. For my mom, I particularly remember her having to learn lots of basic car-care tips, including how to change a tire. And there have been things for me, what with my husband traveling for business most of the week, that I've just had to do in his absence (and still others that I'm horrified to consider if I ever lost him for good). I'm really glad you were able to enjoy your steak and the satisfaction and gratification of what it took to get there. That might just LOOK like a steak of a plate, but it's so much more!Atomic Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491185015050371057noreply@blogger.com
