Summer BBQ's


We love to BBQ!  We BBQ at least two or three times a week.  As you can imagine with all that grilling comes the need for quality tools.  When I was appraoched by the manufactureres of Cave Tools BBQ Tools and asked to do a review of one of their BBQing tools I was more than happy to do so.

I was given the choice of tools to review and because I genuinely HATE the grill brush we had, I decided to review the Cave Tool Grill Brush.


My complaint about the brush we've had is that it doesn't last!!  The brush shown above we have had just since the start of Summer 2015 and you can clearly see the wear in just a short period of time.  The bristles of the brush are so short and literally break off when used.  Literally little pieces of wire break off!  It makes me crazy!


The Cave Tool Grill Brush is the complete opposite of my horrible brush!  The bristles are double the length and not a single piece breaks off!  



The only complaint about the Cave Tool Grill Brush is it's a bit too flexible.  When scrapping the grill the brush bends a bit too much, but even so, I prefer the Cave Tool over my other wooden handled brush hands down and have already tossed my old yucky brush I hated into the trash!

If you are interested in some great grilling tools, the people at Cave Tools are kindly offering all my readers a 20% off coupon!  Just visit Amazon and enter promotion code XNTLKUOV.

Happy Grilling!

Americas Cup San Francisco


Last week my kids and I went into San Francisco for a day at Alcatraz with my Mother-in-Law.  As most of the world know's the America's Cup races are taking place in the San Francisco Bay this summer.


While we were on the ferry heading to Alcatraz Island, we were lucky enough to see the Oracle American boat up close.


I was absolutely amazed at how big these boats actually are!!  They are ENORMOUS!! 
It was amazing to watch the crew scramble around the boat in perfect harmony!  An incredible sight to see first hand!!


Good Luck America!!
