Hello BOB!

On Monday October 16 2006 05:39, you wrote to me:

Same here. We usually do the shopping together. So we sort of have an equal say
in what's for dinner. But that is where it ends...

Over here we call it bbq when it is prepaired and eaten *outside*.

We like to eat outside in the open, but with the wet and cold climate here we
do not get much opportunity for that. Although we had a couple of hot summers
in a row in the last years. Global warming?

 BK>  However, while I do grill...

Here it is the other way around. I do the cooking and the grilling or whatever
unless I am ill. My girl dislikes cooking and as a result she is poor at it.

Ah well, she has other qualities...

We did. Strictly speaking that was not bbq'ing. It was a DIY job on a hot stone
slab. It has the advantage that I do not have to do *all* the work. I just heat
up the thing, cut everything into small pieces, prepaire the saucs, cut the
bread, etc, etc. ;)

We don't do this "stone grilling" very often as it is a lot of work to clean
the epuipment.  Normally I use an electric grill. When I am in a playful mood,
I use the *real* bbq, the one with (char)coal. Also a bit of work to clean...


Cheers, Michiel
