It's Memorial Day Weekend this week!  This is a HUGE month for BBQ, as May is National BBQ Month.  I have rediscovered grilling and BBQing this Spring, and I am glad of it.  I kinda took a year off - life is better now. 

Seems I am on the grill a few times a week as Windy and I both enjoy it.  But I do have a few grill rituals that I follow. My favorite is, no matter what you are grilling, there must be sausage on it first!  No matter what else goes on, sausage, keilbasa, brats or some delicious pork product goes on first. I learned this incredible techniqe from my friends, Tim, Ray and Beef, as this is the practice on our Florida golf trips. We eat sausage before we - eat!  The Beautiful Windy was puzzled about it at first, but now she is on board.

Sausage - Even before ribs! 

We call them "testers." You "test" the grill to make sure all is well, and of course you snack on them as the main course goes on. Plus the dog gets some too. Should be noted, Beef informed me that he and his dog Jack, ate an entire pack of brats last week by themselves! Perfect!   

Its kind of a pre-meal snack, and it's outstanding. I mean you can't just eat a huge steak without having an brat or two first!

Happy Gilling -  Give it a try, it's a good habit to get into!
