How to be a good wife (60's style)

[Khalee]

There go Dave, a barbeque for guys like you... even has a fridge for your wine-cooler

[King Alboin]

hahaha.

Two things:
1. You mean a grill, I mean a barbecue.
2. I'm American.

Any ol caveman can grill. Unga, need fire. That barbecue stuff though, that's an art. I'm going to be taking smoking/barbecue classes this year.

Any self respecting caveman would never use the perjoritive "Unga". There are only three letters in the Caveman alphabet .. U ... G ... O and something that sounds like rrrrrtck, not to be confused with trrrrxik. To call fire, Unga, is akin to calling a hunk of charcoal, ... a pebble ... or as the shlang dictionary used to put it ... useless. We cavemen know that charcoal is not useless. Charcoal is hightech, specially when transubstantiated from hickory or oak. I encourage you to attend the language class during your tenor at your smoking/barbecue class. Also I suggest you sign up for the poking and drinking beer portion for extra credit. SS had it right.

buy a grill and shctick some charcoal in it. so... barbecue at yours saturday?

also i'd no idea you were suck a stickler on controversial topics dave, at least i got to read alboins reply :P

His "weights" must cringe in pain. however I doubt just thirty three shakes would satisfy his woman, or hisself, for that matter.

I was able to save my reply, a habit I got into during the binary wars. If you wish to continue the indepth discussion, friend and vm me, and we can start afresh with that last post off of this thread.

Just make my dinner!

[davemata]

Well said.

You both are out of your gourds from eating too much eucalyptus.

You guys are still just talking about a grill, not a barbecue.

...attend the language class during your tenor at your smoking/barbecue class...

Imma let you finish, but you mean tenure.

Khalee - I make a delicious spritzer. Want the recipe? It's totally refreshing.
Take a glass, fill it with bourbon, show it a picture of ice, and then drink the bourbon.

Refreshed.

good burn, I shall thoroughly thrash my spellchecker about the cpu, btw bad spelling is why us cavemen dont know more than three letters. =P'

[hint: shrimp have a natural cooking thermometer built in. When shrimp turns pink ... they're done]

Good hint about the shrimp. They also have a muscle on the underside that will cause them to curl, a properly placed skewer will prevent the curl. The shrimp heads are quite delicious as well, a minute or two longer on the heat at the head side will result in a shrimp head you can completely devour.

Protip: replace that lighter fluid with 151 rum. Burns better to get the fire started, and removes the off solvent like taste from the lighter fluid.

I don't really know TexJoy, but I use this one a lot: Cajun Foreplay

Another option for stupid good shrimp is to give them a quick little soak in some room temp juice before giving them love on the grill. For the juice, into a blender goes:
handful of garlic cloves
1/2 shallot
flat leaf parsley
small dose of bourbon
salt
pepper
melted butter
garlic powder
splash of apple cider vinegar
1 dash angostura bitters

marinade them for a few minutes, skewer, and then raise to the sublime level of cooked on the grill.

I'm enjoying how this thread has turned into a thread about barbecuing.

[davemata]

I'm enjoying how this thread has turned into a thread about grilling.

FIFY.
I don't want some to mistake grilling for the actual sublime art of barbecue.

[DeagenSYN]

Interesting thread…anyone notice, given the theme of this thread, that the men started talking about BBQ while the female voice somehow faded into the background? Now that is 60’s style.

[Khalee]

According to the sacred arts of both grilling and barbequing, women are to bring the beer, chop the onions, and clean the mess, meanwhile snickering at the men trying to cook, and appreciating the night off.
