Happy Mothers Day!

I suggest two different courses. The one that you take is up to yo based on your wifes personality.
1. A day for just you and her. Movie, walk in the park, nice dinner, drinks, flowers...
2. A fun afternnon/night with a BBQ filled with family and friends.

My son had his tonsils taken out Friday so we've put off Mother's Day for a week. Which works for me because going out to restaurants on Mothers Day sucks.
Even still I bought my wife a spa day and I'm taking off tomorrow to hang out with the kid while she has her day of beauty.
Win/Win.

I woke up early, cleaned the kitchen after a hard night of partying (and making **** in the kitchen that I have no idea what it is/was. Made my wife a egg white omelet, toast, and a killer bloody mary. Great flowers, chocolates, and been spending the day by the pool as a family .. taking my wife mimosas as needed.. as she does her toes poolside.

Did Mother's day at my place with my mom, stepdad, and Ms. Serp's mom, sisters, and one of her sister's boyfriend's all coming. Good times. Place was cleaned as best as it has been in quite a while and since their departure has been re-cleaned. That alone makes me happy as I'm OCD as ****. Used my new grill for the first time. Nothing special. Hot dogs, cheeseburgers. Made some pasta salad. Fruit salad. Chips. Cheese curls. Veggie tray with dip. Sangria, Beer (Summer Shandy, CL), Soda, Water. Played some corn hole. Ladder golf never came out.
I now want to master grilling. Question. How long does a tank last generally? How many grillings?

Mine usually last about 30 grillings .. but most probably get a little less as most of my food I cook quickly (like most things less done). Unless I'm doing ribs or something that I cook real slow .. but that isn't that often. I miss my last home as the grill was hooked directly into the natural gas line so there was not tank. Next home will have that for sure.

One thing I recomment highly is get a grilling bowl. It is basically a steel bowl with holes in it. You use it for grilling veggies and what not.
One thing i use it for is when I want asparagus and/or mushrooms grilled.
I take asparagus and portabello mushrooms and put them in a large ziplock back. Add olive oil, salt, pepper (any other spices you want to try) and garlic cloves. Zip it up and shake till everything is coated. Store in the fridge the night before. The nest day when you are grilling put the bowl directly on the grill and "preheat it" Then dump out the contents of the ziplock into the bowl. Cook.
I find that is a fantastic way to round out a meal. Grill some steaks, that asparagus/mushroom combo, a baked patato and a salad (if that's your thing). Maybe throw in a bottle of wine and that is a fine ****ing meal.

Thank you.
Any meat and lots of bourbon while you grill. It's great.

THIS.
Unfortunately, well-marbled steaks tend to fetch higher prices, but the quality of meat is simply night-and-day. Try and keep an eye out for grocers putting on cuts like Striploin, T-Bone, Rib Steak/Rib Eye on sale. Also, something I have discovered is that you should try and keep most of the fat and meat of a steak intact while cooking; I used to always cut off most of the fat that my steaks had before cooking, and I found that it sacrificed flavour as a result.
Second tip, ONLY FLIP A STEAK OVER ONCE. Seems simple, and very logical, but you'd be surprised with how many people fail to do this. Flipping over frequently dries out a steak very quickly. The perfect time to flip a steak over is when you find a lot of the "juice" of a steak beginning to form droplets on the top-side of the steak. The more juice-droplets you see, the less "pink" the steak will be in the middle.
Good stuff, Dala. "This"

I'm impressed at the 18 year old knowing how to cook a steak. Grilling is all about technique, timing and most importantly, the meat you buy. You marinade cheap meat (flat iron, flanks, etc) and you salt and pepper nice steaks. I'll put some oil on my steaks too just because it helps make a nicer crust. I'm all about having a nice crust while it's still rare inside.
Haha .. I hear ya, and I struggle with it every grilling. But with me, my wife, and 5 kids .. throw in friends .. too damn hard messy and I get lazy. Lazy is good, btw.

Charcoal brings the best flavor, gas is just so much easier though. I use a smoker for a lot of stuff and an infrared grill for my steaks most of the time. Infrared grills are freaking badass.
