It’s officially spring now, because I’m having my first cookout of the year tonight. 
Technically this isn’t my first one of the year, cause I grill through the snow all winter, but for this one I invited a bunch of people and washed off the porch chairs, so it counts.
I usually like to have T-bones or ribeyes for the inagural cook-out, but since I have no job, I had to scale it back to burgers this year. Still got lots of beer though.
Tonight I believe I will go with a Bacon, Onion, Tomato(Real, juicy ripe tomatoes I payed out the ass for, not those crappy winter tomatoes they manufacture at a factory in Philly) Barbecue sauce and sharp cheddar.
I guess getting the warm weather earlier is about the main benefit of living in The South. Of course, we bitch and scream about broiling to death in October while y’all are tossing snowballs, so maybe it’s not that great a benefit. Actually, I’m not sure where you live, so maybe your summers/springs last as long as ours.
