Ladies… you knew it was on its way.  Your man has been talking about Brett Favre again.  He has been trying to get all those chores done you have been bugging him about since Spring.  He has been shining his **Insert favorite team name here** beer mug and brushing off the dust that has settled on his favorite “lucky” cap.

Football is here.  Like it or not.

Personally… I like it.  :)  But I’m a dude.

If you are one of the lucky ones that gets to hit up the first game of the season and spend some time tailgating - then you can use these tips for your tailgating (that I am sure you will be doing).  If you are like the rest of us and are forced to watch the opening week on TV, then you can use these tips when your entertaining your friends with an Opening Day BBQ SPECTACULAR! haha  or something like that.

So let us get into the BBQ goodness and we will break it into two sections…

Big football weekend this weekend.  Lots of you guys & gals will be breaking out the grills to throw some meaty goodness on there and try to impress some friends.  Let me tell you… I have eaten lots of stuff prepared on the grill, and the last thing you want to do is prepare something half-ass and ruin the opening week of the NFL season.

Right?

Right.

Esquire magazine put together a nice little article to help out with your backyard grilling: Everything You Need To Know About Steak

The cool thing about this article is the fact that they touch on a lot more than just how to grill a steak… or how to marinate a steak… they touch on why beef is aged, different types of beef and so on.  So you get more out of it then just your fun of the mill how to (like how we do here).  Just kidding, we tend to give you a lot more info than needed as well, but we don’t have a how to cook steak article “yet” - so enjoy this one until we do.

If you are planning a get together this weekend to kickoff the NFL football season, then this should help you out in the grilling department.  Check it out if you have time.

Just so you know we are working on a “Perfect” Opening Day Tailgating BBQ post that should be out in the next couple of days.  It will give you tips on what to cook, how to cook and how to have the best time while doing so.  We will be teaming up with Corey @ Fantasy Football Goat and providing everyone with some last minute ideas for their Opening Day BBQ.  Stay tuned!

If you haven’t already, sign up for our RSS feed (or you can sign up for email updates) and stay up to date on what’s new at Double Danger.  We provide you with gardening tips, barbeque recipes and much more… the laughter and humor is thrown in for free.  For now.  ;)  haha

If you can only get me one thing this year… it has to be this.

Thats all.  If you can’t fit it in your sleigh… just hit me up and I will arrange a pickup.

I saw an article this morning coming out of Russia, where they built the biggest “BBQ” stretching 335 ft.  Now I hate when the term BBQ is thrown around like it normally is…  As this would be a BBQ Pit or a Grill… not a BBQ.  Geeeeeeeeeez.

Get it right.

But anyhow, I wouldn’t say this was the best BBQ by any means… as they basically stuck a bunch of sausage on it and called it BBQ.

Not cool.

Who barbeques only sausage… wait… didn’t I do that this weekend?  hehe - I didn’t BBQ though, I grilled.  THERE IS A DIFFERENCE PEOPLE!

Anyhow, it did get into the record books - so congrats to them, always funny to read something about BBQ on the front page of a major site… at least it is for me.

Finally…

we made it again.  We can relax (yeah right) and see how our garden grows… do a little BBQ.  You know how we roll.

Snapped this picture at lunch and it kind of suited the occasion (it being a weekend and all).  So instead of just keeping it to ourselves, I figured why not share it with you guys… because we are cool like that.

Mikey (the lil Oscar Myer like dude) wants you to BBQ this weekend and invite him over to eat.  It is already making him salivate a bit, thats why he is licking his lips.  He has been on a little bit of a diet lately, so he is ready to have a good meal.  Sausage is one of his favs… he also is a big fan of ribs, but only the bones.  Here are a few BBQ tips for you to get started on that with.

Izzy (the large white mass beside Mikey) wants you to get your garden ready for her to walk around in and stomp things into the ground.  Don’t let her shy face fool you.  If possible, build a fence around it for her to jump over and laugh at you from the other side.  That would be ideal, if you can make a pathway for her to sit on so she doesn’t have to get her butt dirty from the ewwwy dirty… that would be helpful.   She likes jalapenos the most… be sure to make them the most “pounceable” plant in the garden.  Be sure to check out our “Gardening” category if you need some reading to keep you busy in your garden this weekend.

Whatever you decide to do this weekend, be safe and have a good time.  Sneak a nap or three in.  Have a few drinks (if your into that kinda stuff).  Watch the grass grow… read a book.  Whatever, just make it worth it.

What do you have planned for this weekend?  Anything good?  Anything not good?  Do share.  Or don’t, your choice.  If you don’t share… be prepared.  We will tell the intrawebtranet that you are not the sharing type.  Then your computer will crash.  And your blog will become vacant and we will make fun of it.  Or not.  Who knows.
