Man, BBQ is great. Even with some beer mixed in it’s still delicious. UNless of course that beer is Budweiser, and you use way to much of it. Then it’s not so good. This happened to us one fine Father’s day when my dad decided that he needed to add some beer to the BBQ chicken he was making. Normally this would turn out OK cause he would use some crazy flavorful import beer. However on this particular day, Budweiser was the only beer on hand. That would probably be OK, except he poured in at least one whole 16oz tall can into the sauce. The BBQ sauce went from thick and delicious, to thin and beery. He cooked the chicken in it though, and it turned out about as terrible as it sounds. We had to eat though cause it was all we had. I hope you enjoyed my tale of a BBQ ruined.

Men and their BBQs don’t try and take it away from dad even on fathers day, they get cranky. Mom was going to BBQ for fathers day give dad a break. She was trying to light the charcoal. with the tunnel thing you put news paper or kindling in the bottom then the coals (a fathers day present) she couldn’t get it started. Dad was there with the can of charcoal lighter fluid ready to take over. You guessed it, he used it . He used about 3/4 of a can. The fire was really something you could roast marshmallow if you had wanted. Well Dad got to BBQ after the fire went down and we removed his fathers day present from the center of the BBQ. Did i mention that BBQ always tasted like that can of lighter fluid.
