How to cook

The family wanted to fire up the charcoal grill on this Fourth of July. Having already gotten into a stupid argument over relative nonsense (yes, I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut), I didn't challenge the request.

Of course, unless they read the blog, they'll never know that I actually did exercise some self control about something.

Anyway, here's Grist's explanation of why charcoal grillin' isn't good for the planet. (Note: we grilled Tofurkey brats and veggie dogs and corn on the cob and onions and peppers. No problem with the food. Does driving the hybrid offset the CO2 the grill pumped into the atmosphere? Nice try, right?)
