Monday, September 06, 2004Grill meA few people have inquired about how my weekend grilling dilemma turned-out. Well, I broke down and cancelled the grilling all together, cooking my Labor Day tri-tip indoors, in an oven. I know, my citizenship should be revoked. I've decided to at least take a shot at fabricating a new regulator (which will run me about $15) before I go out and buy a whole new grill (which will run me about $400). We'll see if the hospital bills make up the difference. Its on my list of things. In the meantime, I figured I'd follow Rob's lead by answering these eight, grilling-related questions: When you do fire up the grill, what do you put on it? Burgers are, of course, the most common fare, but on special occasions Tri-Tip is the way to go. I also do boneless chicken breast, various steaks, and pork chops quite often- and I've even been known to do bacon and eggs from time-to-time.Where do you buy your goods (any secret meat markets)? The best place around here is El Toro Meats. The only problem is that I can't set foot in the damn place without ordering something from the excellent deli, thus removing the need to grill.Besides your house, where do you/would you BBQ around your area? My house overlooks a rather large park with a very nice picnic area. We head down there for large get-togethers.Gas or charcoal? Gas. All the way.What is your favorite drink to accompany the grill? I'm on the wagon, so caffeine-free Pepsi for me.When you bring a side dish, what is it? When I bring the side dish? Wow, I've never been in that situation. My mom does make a mean fruit salad, so I guess I would get my hands on some of that.If the host burns the main dish, where do you go out to eat instead? First off, it's "well done"- not burnt. I guess if it ever happens I would resort to some kind of fast food (Sonic preferably).Post BBQ games: dominoes, croquet, bocci or badminton? Yeah... umm... I'll be in the other room watching some kind of sports, thank you. But you guys have fun. |
