Easter is coming up in less than 2 weeks and it got me thinking about family traditions. My family has a few, mostly unstructured, that we do every year.

Someone please remind me that unless cooking in some fashion involves a Weber grill, that I should not be involved in the process at all. Wow, I really made an award winner for "ugliest dinner". But because of it, I have your chance to win a "real" dinner at Grains Of Montana.
