Ladies and Gents- Light off those grills!

ORIGINAL: rwbeagles

I am a purist...I do NOT put any veggies aside from corn on the cob on my grill....MEAT is what it's for.

Aw, no veggies? You're missing out! My hubby is quite the grill master, and he makes me awesome veggie-kebabs! Zucchini, mushroom, red and green pepper, shallots and cherry tomatoes basted in some sort of delicious sauce! I never bothered to ask what it was, I'm always too busy eating! Mmmm.... Me hungry now.

ok, FIRST of all, that's in "cooking light", which i find hilarious

hey now smut shop girl.. NO BAGGING on cooking light[]... my "dream job" is to be one of their test cooks. There recipes consistently are outsanding and they don't taste light at all...

thanks, dear.  i was way off base on my mental pictures....

no problemo![]

Soy sauce, and something else. Maybe just soy sauce. What ever it is, it's so good! :-D

not ragging on cooking light- there's just something funny about beer butt chicken appearing in a cooking light magazine with a PBR shoved up it's bum!

thanks.. that is start! maybe I will make some sort of soy based sauce for my veggie kabobs next time.

well if it WOULD rain we could grill, but the news keeps telling us not to risk it because of the danger of fires..... i am so envious of you guys.. i'm going to avoid this topic because its depressing me. we have a freezer full of T-bones and other pieces of cattle in the freezer and i refuse to cook them any other way except on the grill.


[] i love venison... i get a steady supply from my dad, the avid hunter.

I'm with you, if there's meat involved, I'd just as soon cook it on the grill. We like to grill in the warm weather so we don't heat up the house as much. In the winter time, I like to cook on the broiler and let it heat up the house.
 
Fisher Meat Market in Muenster, Tx. renders and processes harvests from hunters. And you can get deer sausages and links from there, especially if a hunter only wanted the sirloins and backstrap. Anyway, they make a jalapeno flavored deer summer sausage that is worth getting in a fight over.
 
I also like smoking as honestly as possible. Start a low fire and sling a brisket on there and let it cook for at least 6 to 8 hours, if not more.

we never put our grill away! steaks taste too good grilled to just have them that way in the summer months.

i got some fresh shrimp the other day and grilled them. first time i ever tried it and they were pretty darn tasty.

I have a little vent about men and grill cooking. We have a lot of cook outs with friends in the summer. Mike stands at the grill and cooks the meat, yes it's hot out, but he's standing there yaking it up, drinking a beer and flipping meat.
I on the other hand am in the kitchen slicing veggies for the grill, getting the marinated meat ready for the grill, making a salad, husking corn getting the plates and utensils out along with all the condiments, basically working my butt off.
After everyone eats, and dh's chest is puffed out thinking he's this famous chef. everyone compliments him on the meal. What the heck, he flipped the meat, I did everything else[:@]

Shelly! I'm coming to your house for dinner!!!!

YUM!

Linda - this is for you LOL!
 
Barbeque Season - 10 Important Rules

After four long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up
to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your
memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking, as it's the only
type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is some degree
of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ, the following chain of events
are put into motion:

1) The woman buys the food.

2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes
dessert.

3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man
who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He
thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals
with the situation.

Important again:

7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,
sauces and brings them to the table.

9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts. 

The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And,
seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing
some women.

OMG. Those ARE the rules! And that is EXACTLY how it happens with EVERYONE I know that bbqs! I mean, minus the beer part. That doesn't always happen. But the rest does!

We don't have a grill. We've been thinking about getting one, though.

i got some fresh shrimp the other day and grilled them. first time i ever tried it and they were pretty darn tasty.

Bradley.. gotta know how you cooked them becasue I seem to have little luck with shrimp on the barby.. also how long did you cook them because I swear you can't leave them on more than 30 seconds a side.  I have one recipe I have been dying to try with shrimp where the "skewers" are actually sprigs of rosemary. I just hesitate to try it because I have always been disappointed with shrimp. [&o]

That was great and so very true!! I'm going to print it out and hang it near the grill.

[sm=rofl.gif]Robin.. those are HILARIOUS!  You have me in stitches right now with that post! It is totally true of "most" men and absolutely true of both my dad and step father . I have to give my DH credit though. He wants to BBQ when we have guests over precisely because he doesn't want me to be locked away in the kitchen. He helps with whatever prep work I need, helps set the table beforehand and likes to cook appetizers (like artichokes) on the grill so that I can be outside enjoying company and eating with nothing left to do indoors. He doesn't like to be the "sole" entertainer.


AND.. the best part.. When someone tells him "this is great… you did a fantastic job" his reply is always "I didn't do anything, Shel did all work.. I just grilled it and that is the easy part".  (which is total BS... grilling is an true art, but he is very humble[]).  I think I need to keep him around a bit longer…[]
