and got an almost new 400 dollar bbq. i'm stoked i'll probably never use my stove, oven, or microwave again.
It's called a grill... Hah, I cannot stand when people from up North call it a BBQ... I have to put up with a teacher's Providence, RI/Boston, MA accent, on top of not cringing whenever she talks to me, but I also have to put up with her calling a grill a BBQ and that she thinks if you put a hot dog on a grill for thirty seconds, you've just made BBQ. Technically, BBQ is indirect cooking while grilling is high-temperature cooking, but it's generally just "Ima go throw a bluefish on the grill, etc." (Yes, I grill fish too) Fish is really good with mesquite or hickory. I've always thought a BBQ is what you cook whole pigs in and haul on a trailer... that and BBQ is generally chopped, pulled, and sliced pork with a tomato/mustard/vinegar sauce, VA style, red, heavy on the BBQ sauce/ketchup, Carolina style, natural colored, heavy on the vinegar. The Taino, an indigenous people that inhabited the Bahama Islands and Greater Antilles coined the term "Barabicu", which translates to "open fire pit"... Prior to the Civil War, people in the South ate five pounds of pork for every one pound of beef consumed and hogs were low maintenence and fed themselves.
You're from British Columbia, I live in Virginia... though I consider myself a Carolinian and used to live there with my Uncle/Grandma. Thus proving my BBQ is better than yours and I am more manly than you.
Hell yes it does. Especially if she's on painkillers/muscle relaxers and you have to catch her when she slips on ice and you're 12...
Well, ahah... I did, but I felt I should note that it could be pretty difficult at time because of the medications and her passing out all the time.
