Lesson 1: Burgers

Student No. 1: Natasha Wright, a baking-company salesperson, lives in Colorado Springs with her husband (an Army soldier) and their two little boys.

DIsaster: When Brian left for Iraq, she tried her best to use the grill that had been his domain. Natasha was determined to cook burgers for her kids, but she just couldn’t get the grill going.

Hope: “Maybe I’m not meant to celebrate life with grilled food unless my husband is home,” she wrote, adding that if we could help her become a grilling expert, she’d be “the envy of the cul-de-sac.”
