Topic: Tailgating at Home
So, summer is fast upon us and all that entails. Heat, the beach, sun, fun and barbecues as far as the eye can see, so we were inspired to do just that for father's day: a barbecue. Now originally, this was to entail burgers and pork ribs, but an unfortunate marrige of pork ribs to freezer left them a chunk of ice with no time to thaw for the grill. Too bad too, because they are fantastic after being grilled.
This left the burgers, or in all actuality, chopped sirloin patties from our loal butcher shop. Good stuff, let me tell you. I take the patties, apply black pepper, garlic powder and some paprika to each side, and then it's off to the grill for them.
Now I know that some folks like a nice gas grill, but I'm not one of them. For my money, using a gas grill is the same as using a stove in the house, and that's not what grilling is about. I would rather use a cheap charcoal grill anyday. It's what it's all about to me. Not to mention, three to four minutes on each side and you have yourself a fine burger, ready to eat. I like to top mine with a slice of colby jack cheese, and sometimes some onion, pickle and lettuce, a little mustard doesn't hurt either. 
Now get out there and enjoy the summer, it won't last long enough.
