I'm watching the grill, sorry.

Re: I'm watching the grill, sorry.

heres a bbq story. got invited to a friends place....four couples in all plus a few kids. i volunteered to do the grilling. the women said no way...we can handle this, we arent incompetent around a bbq yada yada. well, i thought this will be great, ill be able to relax, have a beer and shoot the breeze with the guys. WRONG!! before the grill got preheated, the propane tank ran out, so the girls went for a refill. 10 mins they returned with the fresh tank. one of the guys offered to hook it back up....no dice! " us women can do that".
well, us guys were in the front yard, the girls and the bbq were in the back.....the screaming began. one call to 911, a fire extinguisher, a garden hose, some sizzled hair and a wet towel later the fire was out. ( followed by an insurance adjuster and a contractor to replace the melted siding) . needless to say, there is no problem now with who gets to take care of the grill! ( its comical now, but cross-threading a connection to a propane tank can be a very scary situation.)

No, I saw the other post. I was just being silly. Hard to imagine I know. I do have hairy knuckles though. It's a shame, because I've always been told I have nice hands, that is until they see the calloused and worn insides.

Just means that they do honest work...

Used to any way. Still do on the weekends, but for no pay.

I finally got around to using the high temp searing burner on some T-bones the other night and I was thoroughly impressed. I don't know what took me so long to try it.

But I bet you weren't attacked with a garden hose.

Nope. The admiral leaves the grilling to me. Of course, she leaves all the cooking to me. For that matter, most of the cleaning too.

My sincere apologies to Bubba, his heretofore humorous thread, and all cave clan members. Carry on.

My wife don`t want nuttin to do with the grill other than what comes off of it. She would rather be inside soaking up the A/C :facepalm:

How do you regularly cook your steaks?
Med rare, 3/4 inch, 3 min per side as hot as the q can get, 1 inch, med rare 4 min per side on super hot.

HaHaHaHa!!

Sounds like it's time for you to start rearranging the kitchen to how it suits you and get accustomed to the view from the window over the sink because I think you were (as they say in today's employment world) "Competitively re-positioned"

Yeah, that sounds about right usually, but when I cooked them on that sear burner they got closer to medium, which is fine. Either side of medium works for the Coops as long as there's at least a fair amount of pink in the middle. I just couldn't believe how fast they cooked on that thing. They were just some cheap T-bones from Kroger, but they absolutely melted in the mouth.

Re: I'm watching the grill, sorry.

Now there is an idea. Rearrange the entire kitchen when she isn't looking. I can just see the expression on her face!!!

STOP.

Think about this for a minute. You rearrange the kitchen, she rearranges your shop.

In my house those domains are both mine.......

None of this even comes into play at my house. We BOTH cook on the grill.

My lady is a professional cook. At work she sometimes has to smoke hundreds of pounds of meat.
She can grill with the best of them.

She does usually ask me to cook steaks though, she's afraid she will over cook them. I keep trying to tell her
that's only because she doesn't follow the cardinal rule of steak grilling, you can't doing anything else
while their cooking. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE GRILL CLOSELY! Right Bubba?

Re: I'm watching the grill, sorry.

My son posted this on facebook.

On plane and 80 year old woman next to me just told the adjacent medical school resident "From our flight I understand that you are too busy to date but never close your eyes to love, and when you decide to open them, make sure you're looking at a person who makes you laugh. Because in the end, that's all that matters."

Bubba, thanks for sharing.

BBQ RULES: We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: Routine... (1) The woman buys the food. (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetablesand 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 - drink in hand. (4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman. Here comes the important part: (5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL. More routine... (6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery. (7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another drink while he flips the meat. Important again: (8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. More routine... (9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauce and brings them to the table. (10) After eating,the woman clears the table and does the dishes. And most important of all: (11) Everyone PRAISES the MANand THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts. (12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed her 'night off,' and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.
