Guy Cooking Tips: BBQ | Post date: 08/11/2009 - 16:49

More guy cooking tips...BBQ is fun, but messy. Remember who's going to have to clean the kids... But here's a serious tip. Put some ribs in a glass bowl, add a cup of warm water and a half cup of bbq sauce. Cover with plasitc wrap and microwave on med until the meat is almost as done as you'd like it. Then put it on a hot grill to get the outside crispy and sizzling hot.

This cuts the time for BBQ down to a minimum, and is especially good for fatty foods, like chicken, which flare up on the grill.

If you're watching the kids, you can't be off watching the grill for long, so this can be a big help.

So this is my outing as a nascent blogger, often threatened but never followed through - sounds like my obituary!! So please forgive my initial bumblings. I am as the name suggests a Navy Husband, spouse to active duty and stay at home Dad to two darling (read challenging) girls (soon to be 4 and 6).

I have been through deployments, work ups, spouse meetings, FRGs, pass offices, potty training, post offices with two toddlers, commissary on pay day.....why the resume? well we are in the minority and I always feel as though I need to proffer my real time experience as a milspouse to be taken seriously. The reality is of course that I feel as welcomed and as valued as any other military spouse, by both service members and spouses alike. So why then do I feel this way?
