Looking Back and Grilling Gone Bad

Do you remember last summer when I made the girls study a different country each week and then we tried to cook a meal from that country AND dress the part? We all got huge laughs out of those nights. I got the feeling a couple of times that just maybe all you guys and the both the girls might have thought that I was just a tad bit crazy. After reading this blog all this year, I'm sure you now know my elevator got stuck between the 3rd and 4th floor.

Tonight I've brought the cooking back to Butler Family Diaries, a.k.a. Butler Manor. I hate to disappoint, but, there will be no costumes, just pictures.

Grilling gone bad. This is what happens when you ask a child to hand you the seasoning, this child opens the seasoning, and thinking that they are WAY smarter than you are, proceeds to dump on the seasoning.


That, my friends, is half a bottle of Webber Mesquite Burger Seasoning. I managed to scrape the burger and all was well. Freckles and Pepper fought over who was going to stand the closest to me and wait for me to drop a burger or hot dog. It didn't happen.


Finished product. Grilled burgers seasoned with Webber Grill burger seasoning, seasoned fries with cheese and ranch dressing. The fries were just about as close to Chili's fries as you can get. We love them.

It's time to remember the good ol' days here at Butler Family Diaries. I did not realize that I have been blogging for almost 4 years now. Aren't y'all tired of me yet?

July 2008 has two of my favorite post. Remember when I tried to have dinner from a different country each week? I was going with the flow of the mom bloggers last July, they were all being so creative, setting up these neat little place setting and taking wonderful pictures of their dinners, kinda "how to cook like me" tutorial. Here at Butler Manor we had ...


Taco Tuesday!!!! The girls loved dressing up for that one.
and the most embarrassing foreign dinner had to be...

Italian Night The dress up part for this dinner turned out to be a really bad 80's job for me. I was going for the role an Italian Mom type person.
