meat orgy

That's what betsy called it when I described my plans for dinner tonight. I have one of those grills that were so heavily advertised 2-3 years ago. The ones that do both charcoal and propane. I use it set up for propane on weeknights when I just want to grill something quick. However on the weekends I go for charcoal. And when I fire up charcoal, I cook a lot of meat. After all the coals stay useful for a lot longer than any chicken breasts or burgers I might cook, or even any pork tenderloin.

So the plan for the day is, wait until the rest of the meat is thawed.. then I'm grilling. Grilling for the end times, or for a sudden party at my house or something.

I'll be doing
hamburgers (1 lb worth)
chicken breasts (however many are in the package I'm thawing)
beer brats 1 package
cheddarwursts 1 package
pork tenderloin, probably bacon wrapped and maple glazed.

I expect tonight we'll eat the tenderloin and the rest will go into the fridge to be warmed up as quick dinners all week. I could be wrong.. I may feel the lure of brats instead. Or I may go crazy and we might actually have a meat orgy and eat what is that like 6-8lbs of meat between us. That seems mighty unlikely though.

Speaking of meat orgies. Ever been to a Brazillian steak house (they have some cool sounding Portugeuese (sp?) name that I can't remember). Anyway, you pay a lot of money and they'll put meat on your plate until they roll away your dead carcass. Presumably for more meat for the other meat eaters. I can't stand these places, but my director LOVES them so we go a lot when we travel.

Naw I haven't. Actually the day I cooked that I ate two brats. Today...well it was $3.49 Spaghetti night down the block and Odie wanted to go, so we went. It'll take us days to eat all that stuff. The chicken is already chunked and frozen waiting for then next dinner emergency.
