Grilled ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Grilled ...¯\_(ツ)_/¯...

For Monday's 30DBC entry, what meats, side dishes, and beverages are you serving? Do you have a go-to dish you like to prepare?

When I had barbecue for 15 years as an event to bring people into my inner-city neighborhood and to bring many different types of people together, I served rib-eye steaks. Sometimes other people brought burgers or dogs. One year I paid friend to grill chicken.

But I never grilled them.

Usually there was someone eager to work the grill. Usually men, but one year a group of women decided that no one was going to eat if they didn't get grilling!

I didn't provide alcohol and didn't want anyone bringing it. It wasn't a family reunion where everybody gets drunk, fights and makes up later. I was dealing with class, race and religious barriers among others.

Side dishes varied from year to year from every salad and dessert imaginable to pizza.

If I were ever to do this again... I don't know... those times are past. I don't have a place to grill nor the friends to invite.

Peace, Kåre
