My grand uncle Ralph (my dad’s namesake) was in the Army and was badly wounded in the Normandy D day invasion.   He passed in surgery to address his combat wounds about a year later back home in Chicago.   He had just turned 21, barely old enough to buy a beer.  He was just the 2nd Militello born in America.  Ralph would be 100 this October.    His older brother, James (my grandfather and my son’s namesake) also served in WWII in a tank battalion. 

Uncle Ralph’s father, Charles ( my great grandfather) immigrated from Sicily in 1914 and also served in WWI despite only being a citizen for 3 years.   🇺[emoji1218]🇹

I am always proud to see how much these men loved their country.

Keep the Avocado. By all means, grab a new one but don’t get rid of old

Looks like a nice color. It's a shame there's just a lid hook and no lid bale.

I’m not so sure that’s a bad thing. I’ve noticed my kids being scratched by the bale

Tempting.

We wanted a really easy holiday cook yesterday and this fit the bill.  Kellee spatchcocked the chicken, I sprayed it with Pam butter spray and coated it with a liberal amount of Cosmo's Q Dirty Bird seasoning.  Grilled on the Summit with deflector and water pan underneath at 375F to 167F IT.  Pulled so easily, added in some SBR sugar free sauce, a little more rub and it tasted great.  Veggie kabobs and beans for sides.....

Cheers!
