If you didn't catch Sunday's post, this entire week I'll be posting off topic and about me, my interests, and fun-facts about my life. My goal with these posts is to simply provide readers with a better understanding of the kind of person I am outside of the search marketing space, and to have a little fun. Without further ado, here's my third post:

Simply put... I am a Grillin' Villain. What does that mean exactly? Well, it means that I very much enjoy outdoor grilling. It is one of my favorite things to do during the spring, summer, and fall months here in Illinois... in fact, so much so that I'd estimate that I grill out about 3 - 4 nights a week during those months.

My grill isn't anything too special. I own a simple Char-Broil Quickset gas grill that I purchased from my local Home Depot (thanks goes out to my friend Greg for the hook-up). It has a double rack and to give you an idea of the grill space, I'd say that it could probably grill about a dozen or so burgers at anyone time.

The picture above is currently the only photo that I have of my grill. I would have taken one tonight however I've already stored it for the winter. So instead, you get this nice picture of my brother Ken, who happens to be stepping in and grilling during mine and Jackie's house warming party this past September. In addition to special occasions such as that, Jackie and I love to host little backyard bar-b-que parties on the 4th of July, Memorial Day, and just about every other weekend during the summer.

Some of my favorite foods to grill are Johnsonville Cheddar Bratwursts and bacon and cheddar Hamburgers as well as BBQ butterfly pork chops from our local HyVee grocery store. To date I've grilled just about everything from Shish Kabobs to Chicken to Salmon steaks to vegetables... you name it and I've probably grilled it, or at least aspired to grill it.

Grilling doesn't just stop at the grill for me. Much like cigars and my other hobbies and interests, I do quite a bit to educate myself on the subject. I am subscribed to a few "Grilling" related newsletters with which provide information on the latest and greatest in grilling techniques and recipes. I also have a few magazines on hand as well as a "how-to" book on grilling.

So, how about you? Do you have an interest in grilling?
