My first and last nights, we BBQed on Etta’s roof. She marinated vegetables, tofu, tuna, steak, and pork for shish kabobs, and grilled corn on the cob. Dinner for two that first night, and for eleven the last.
In Michigan, the motel keeper at the Captain’s Quarters told us to beware of melon heads lurking after dark. He also said that the onions at Burger King cause heart burn. And he told us the story of his female friend who once threw her burger at the window of the local B.K. because they screwed up her order.


A fiery temperment. It causes the heart to burn bright.
