Day 16

If you were to eat the same thing, cooked the same way, every day, then you might find food to be the equivalent of a shitty band. One you thought was cool when you first heard them, but eventually, the novelty begins to wear off, revealing a steaming pile of average shit.

But really. Food never gets 'old'. And Barbeque's are no exception. Yes, you cook everything the same way on the same hotplate, and every day the layer of 'burnt' gets marginally thicker, no matter how much you scrape and scrub that shit. But as layer upon layer piles up, the food becomes more and more delicious as you find new things to prepare and grill the shit out of.

It started out as a conversation of mutual respect for the BBQ between myself, Jon and Joel. As testament to our testosterone levels I suppose. Eventually the conversation took a turn for the best, in my opinion, and we challenged ourselves to a BBQ every day for a week straight.

That was 16 days ago.

Although Jon and Joel have missed a couple days, it just so happens that I am still going and not in any way prepared to stop any time soon. It's just too fucking delicious.

So. After I hit up the market for something to grill, I plan to document my progress as I attempt to Barbeque every day for as long as I can, wherever I am, right here.

During my inevitable experimentation in grilled foodstuffs, if I so happen to stumble upon a rather delicious combination, I shall endeavor to post the recipe.

Feeeeeeeeed it!
