Firing Up The Barbecue

United States
May 11, 2023 9:32am CST
Happy Thursday Everyone! looks like a beautiful day ahead with sunshine and warm temperatures. It's actually nice enough to sit outside and enjoy my coffee but the lawn crew is here and aside from it being noisy, all the newly cut grass would probably give me an allergy attack. So, I'm having my coffee inside and wishing I was outside I'm having a debate with myself about what to make for dinner. Yesterday my daughter and I had decided on pasta but since the weather is so nice I'm now thinking maybe it would be fun to barbecue. Chicken or burgers??? both sound good to me This would be the first barbecue of the season and I'm actually looking forward to cooking outside in the months ahead. As I'm sitting here chatting I think I've made my decision....barbecue it is! Do you enjoy grilling/barbecuing?

We finally are getting all the rain we did not get during the past months. It will be chili con carne for dinner.

My dad BBQ’d some chicken for me, his wife, my sister, and my niece last weekend. It was quite delicious. He’s a big outdoor griller.

I like eating barbecue. I hate barbecuing! I always got burned, so I gave our grill away twenty years ago. Barbecue doesn't taste THAT good!

@Marilynda1225 Pretty wouldn't even try to barbecue anything. I put meat into an aluminum pan, cover it with barbecue sauce and bake it. It comes out good but it's not barbecued.

I've pretty much handed the bbq torch over to my daughter. She does 99% of the grilling these days but I still enjoy it occasionally. I always feel that any meal I don't have to cook always tastes better.

Yes, I enjoy barbecuing. As most people here live in apartments, we have to go to parks for barbecuing.

This is my first house where I have a barbecue right outside my kitchen door. It's so convenient to just step outside and cook. I do remember going to the park for picnics and barbecuing in my younger days

It's Friday afternoon here, Thank God it's Friday. My DIL likes to grill and barbecue, and if I were to choose, it would be chicken for me. And I love to eat all her dishes. Have a good time with your daughter barbecuing.

I do like to barbeque but not on the terribly hot days. I like it all but when we are in a heat wave. I also like the air fryer, we are having burgers done in the air fryer oven tonight.

@Marilynda1225 No, not really. We prefer them in the air fryer, we have been doing that since day #1. You'll have to try it.

I've never tried making burgers in the air fryer. Don't they splatter a lot of grease?

I have nowhere to grill now. We used to do that in the good weather in Latvia. Usually we made marinated chicken wings, burgers, or shish ka bobs

I'm lucky that I have my grill right outside my kitchen door on the deck. it's easy to just step outside and cook. I love chicken, burgers and even hot dogs on the grill but I especially like doing veggies on it too.

Vince reckons grilling/barbecuing is the ruination of good meat!! I'm not sure I agree but he does the cooking so I don't complain. lol If we go to a barbecue, he usually takes marinated pork or chicken.

@Marilynda1225 I'm sure there is a knack to getting it just right.

I love food on the BBQ. I love a hot dog slightly charred and ribs with my BBQ sauce grilled until the sauce carmelizes. YUM! So what did you have?

I like when my hot dog is slightly charred too. It just tastes so much better than just rolling it around and heating it up. I don't make ribs very often but i do like when the bbq sauce caramelizes on chicken. We wound up having burgers

The weather has not been very nice here , so it has not been the weather for barbeques. Our neighbours have lots of them in the summer and the smell sometimes makes me feel hungry.

The same here. When my neighbors barbecue the aroma can be so mouth-watering especially if they're cooking steaks

I enjoy having grilled for but I don't having to stand there too so the feeling itself. Although I have thought about grilling some steaks sometime. I've not used my grill for at least a year and will want my husband help to turn on the gas. I know it's not difficult but I like to be sure I'm doing it right.

We just got a new tank of gas so this will be our first BBQ since last year

My nephew got a new type of grill and it is set up in the backyard. We have used it only once but no hurry since most of the time we have sunny warm weather.
