Grilling and Chilling

I finally broke down and did it. I grilled something in Germany. Well, tried to. There was a minor setback. It was raining. And the grill was on the roof. In the wind. Yea, it never really started.

It might have worked if we had started like this, but we didn't >< ... that or had lighter fluid
Our attempts at starting a fire were futile
We live in the 21st century, though, which means we have these great inventions: ovens! While it's not quite as much fun to eat kabobs if you're not grilling them, they do end up tasting pretty much the same.
Only 1/4 of what we cooked today. The stuffed mushrooms have already been consumed
Luckily, The dorm has lots of ovens
Which is really tasty. And, "importantly" for us rebellious Americans, not German. (Particularly with the only-found-in-Iowa-seasoning) I guess this might be the closest we get to an American BBQ all summer.

I actually burned my thumb (from trying to light the fire) and now have this awesome neosporin-bandage-mess.. makes typing fun!
Caution: food directly out of the oven is hot
Right about the time we gave up on grilling (ran out of things to start fires with; read: matches, lighters) the sun came out for a glorious sunset. (clearly this "aahhh"ing, heaven-sent sunset that lit up the sky was mocking our attempts at fire)

They're singing nyaaa nyaaaa nyaa nyaaaa nyaaaa in 5 part harmony
I can hear the angelic choir accompanying this sunset
