     Don't mean to push myself into your conversation but...


     What part of the year (Months) do you have what you consider summer
there? Here it is about two months of 80 degree weather. Although this
last summer we did have a suprizing number of 100+ days. That is unusual
for Minnesota here. You might not be too far off the mark with global
warming.


 BK>>  However, while I do grill...

 BK>>  If my wife is doing the cooking I never argue with how she says
 BK>> it.

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


     Here I mostly do the cooking too. Although I try to spread the task
out sometimes. I tend to cook things a little spicier than some would
prefer sometimes.

 MV> Ah well, she has other qualities...

 BK>>  I grill in small quantities, she does it up big time. I do one
 BK>>  meal at a time, she does meals and leftovers etc.

 BK>>  Being the wise man I am I do not raise objections.

 BK>>  Looks like someone is having a nice, relaxed, time.

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

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


 MV> Cheers, Michiel
