Everyone at our house is fascinated when my husband heads out to barbecue. Okay, so the dog is just hoping he'll drop whatever's on the grill - but there's something about cooking out that draws the whole family.
If your kids or grandkids are as thrilled with copying the grown-ups and "cooking out", you will want to read over this new recall from Target. Apparently the toy grills sold from December 2006 - February 2007 are being recalled due to a laceration hazard. Thankfully if you have one of these you can just take it back to Target for a full refund - if you can get it away from your little chef!
Here's the release about the matter from the CPSC website:
