I just sent out five questions to five ladies I get the honor of spending Thursday with talking about grilling and barbecue. Many of them are on the PTA at my son’s school and bid on my “Ladies Barbecue Lesson & Dinner” auction item to raise funds for all those “extra” educational opportunities like art, music, and science lab. They volunteer far more time than I do, but this was a way I could contribute. It’s also a way I could give back and drink wine at the same time. So win/win.
I love teaching people about grilling and barbecue, especially beginners. Because I’m not sure of the skill level of these five ladies, I sent out these questions to get a sense of what to cover in the lesson.
So here they are. Admittedly #5 isn’t a true question. What would your answers be?
1) Tell me a little about your grilling experience. Don’t worry if your answer is “never”. Are you comfortable on the grill, tentative but willing, think that it will blow up at any moment, or a seasoned (almost) pro?
2) What do you have in your backyard: gas, charcoal, both, or neither?
3) What do you most want to learn?
4) Are you more interested in grilling or smoking slow and low, or a little of both?
5) And finally, red or white?
