These guys are ready for the chicken dance!




Speaking on behalf of the Goodman clan (a short squat tribe), we are thrilled with the McFall "chicken legs."

Way to go Lucas!!!! This was Sunday, November 25, 2007. Lucas was dedicated that morning at the church where Matt & Jenny were married.

Legs on the left belong to great uncle Glen. Legs on the right are Abuelo Alto's.

Poetry Contest

GRILL POETRY CONTEST WINNER ANNOUNCED

The results of our world-wide poetry contest extolling the virtues of the grill are in.

The international winner from the reunified nation of Germany is John C.. Unfortunately his entry is unavailable on this blog. Sehr Gut, Herr John.

The U.S. winner, from Winterset Iowa, the home of the covered bridges of Madison county, I announce Jay S. Here is his entry.


"the grill i love with heart and soul,
it cooks the meat i shoot or pole,
friends come running from the street,
to eat with pleasure the well cooked meat,
fish or deer or some other beast,
all are welcome at our feast,
the grill has always kept the pace,
when i'm ready to feed my face,
so come one come all and gather around,
as we stuff our pie holes from the propane god!"

Great job Jay. I was especially fond of your delicated usage of "pie-hole" . Not every one is so adept.

For the winners, fabulous prizes may be available. The adjacent photo shows me pointing to some prizes I am considering. Betsy and I are personally delivering John's prize over Thanksgiving.

On a sad note... I was forced to censure the state of Oregon. Someone in Corvallis was not interested the spirit of the contest. Why can't we just all get along. This person even tasted the meaty fruits of my Holland Grill. Let's all think positive thoughts maybe it will help him heal.
