I planned to do steaks on the grill last night.

But there was this…

Now there are several recipes that relate to Birds’ Nest…cookies, treats… some sort of birds’ nest soup…but I’m pretty sure none of those called for these ingredients, and I’m damn certain they aren’t needed for steak.

The good news is, the nest wasn’t quite done, I don’t think and there weren’t any eggs.  We took it out.  I’m not giving up my grill.

Also, I want to make it perfectly clear…somehow, this is Lynn Viehl’s fault.

I don’t know how she did it, but she found a way to pass her backyard animal shenanigans up here to Kentuckiana. I don’t want this weird/nest/birdhouse/hex thing.  If you aren’t sure of what I’m talking about…

Well, just look. (pics are from Lynn’s blog…click on them to see the related crazy. FYI, that dove? Really doesn’t do birdhouses.)

Then there was this…

Which led to this…

And we won’t even talk about this…
