OK so I keep drooling on my keyboard. I need to avoid this thread. :rofl:

Great food. Thank the lord this isn't pay per view.
 
okay - so tonight we grilled during a tornado warning. had a bunch of hail (which shredded the chiles that i planted on thursday and friday - i'll post pictures of them tomorrow on the grow log) and damaging winds. made jalapeno poppers and fish tacos.

here's a handful of the hail:
