Wow... 181 at 5 hr! Good golly!

Last night, we had chicken fajitas without the tortillas. I marinated
pounded chicken breasts in lime juice with some chili powder and cumin
(I would have added fresh cilantro, if I'd had any) and grilled them.
Well, okay, my husband did the grilling. The barbeque is his domain.
Woman no touch.

While he was doing that, I sliced up red bell peppers, onion, tomato,
and a couple of jalapenos. Put them in a very hot pan with a touch of
olive oil and some minced garlic until a little browned in places, but
not mushy. Squeezed some lime juice on that.

Served 1 chicken breast per adult cut into strips with veg and a tbsp
of sour cream on top, 1/3 c vegetarian refried beans on the side with
a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and jalapenos on the side. 2 hour pp =
105. And the kids liked it!

Sounds yummy! And what is it with the man/BBQ thing? I like a spot of
pyromania too, but I only ever get near the thing if he's away...

I think it makes them think that they are a cave man rubbing sticks
together to warm and feed their women and children. Like going hunting so
they can stay with their buddies and not shave or bathe for several days.
that seems to be the pattern near my summer home. You can smell those
hunters from a mile away as they come to the supermarket to clean out all
the beer.

That's a lot of cheap shots in one post, Wendy. Doncha love it when we

we get home!

But can't eat that venison and rabbit, so what's the point:-)

We had a friend on our road who used to get a bow and arrow permit, a doe
ermit and a regular huting liscense so he could get 3 deer, have a friend
butcher them neatly and fill his freezer for the winter. He didn't even
hang around with the guys for that, just went out locally(Catskill Park
area) and took his deer.

But it can't be hunted, only carefully and kosherly slaughtered!

It's just so easy; I use the BBQ at least twice weekly in
winter, more often in summer. Meats on the slotted section
so the fat drips away, greens in a saucepan on the hot-plate
in a smidgin of water to simmer, onions, capsicum, half
tomatoes and slices of spuds or sweet potato on the
hot-plate (I usually give them a quick zap in the microwave
to help them along). Vary things occasionally - shish kabob,
satays, chook, different marinades, use imagination.

Apart from ease of use and clean-up, it's brilliant for
rendering the sat fat off chops and similar. I'm aware of
the AGE risks, so I try not to carbonise things too much.

And it gives me an excuse to be outside at this time of
year, watching the sunset and sipping red wine as the chops
sizzle and the ladies are inside...

I have no control over Jun. She grills or smokes when she wants. When I'm
BBQing something, she always comes out with something she wants to grill on
the firebox. At least she buys lump charcoal and uses the chimney, rather
than that Charcoal Lighter stuff.

I think, as Wendy mentioned in her post, that it has something to do
with caves and sticks and hunting. At least for my husband. Nick is
obviously happy to allow Jun to use his fire, and Alan S makes it
sound romantic.

I have to admit, though, Rob's a good grill cook. Back before I was
diabetic, he decided to make a burrito on the grill. Wrapped the
ingredients in a tortilla and put it on the fire. I thought he was
nuts, but it was the best burrito I ever had!

I describe my DH's activity at the grill as "sending up burnt offerings
to the great god Barbecue"

I prepare the foods to be grilled and he cooks them. Our gas grill is
huge, a six burner stainless steel monster with a side burner on one end
and an ice well on the other. I have named it "Grillzilla" Since I have
the ability to light only one side, I have been using it as a smoker,
too. I got some great advice at alt.food.barbecue, too. Most of the
folks there are nice. There are always Usenet exceptions.

Your grill has a distaff side and refuses to be lit on the
other side by you? You really do have sophisticated BBQ's
over the-)

Or being Canadian, does it come in Le BBQ and La BBQ types?

Mine is an equal opportunity BBQ which will light up with a
happy whoosh either way...

I think you whooshed me, Alan.

Our grill has 6 burners and each one lights individually. If I light two
or three burners on the right side of the grill, I can cook food over
indirect heat on the left side.
