[Matariki]

72. I was going to say "beating it" but figured someone would beat me to it

[sadbear]

78. Bratwursts, chicken fajitas, and shrimp scampi.

And leftovers of each in between each one.

[quinnox]

6. I'm not really into BBQ...

so I'll probably just cook me up a nice big juicy steak as part of the celebration during the week. [url=http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php][img][/img][/url]

[Marrah_G]

12. LOL meat week?

[2pooped2pop]

15. I just saw a video on here. "This boy is a bottom"

would that qualify for meat week?

[kestrel91316]

16. Mostly leftovers - remains of a pepperoni pizza, plus a leftover salmon patty.

Then probably a pasta entree of some sort, probably no meat.

[City Lights]

17. I don't eat meat. nt

[former9thward]

[Sherman A1]

21. There is a food holiday for almost every day of the year

Today is National Blueberry Pancake Day and January is National Oatmeal Month.

Most are probably proclaimed by some industry or trade association or interest group.

Might also add that it is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.

[AndyTiedye]

23. Odd to Have a Celebration of BARBECUED Meat in JANUARY

Welcome to Meat Week, the only national week-long holiday dedicated to the celebration of barbecued meats.

I can't imagine very many people are using their barbecues this week.
I actually did barbecue a steak last weekend, but we're in California and it was still pretty damn cold out.

[slackmaster]

29. Not if you live in San Diego

[niyad]

30. well, it was 70 here last week. of course, it will be about 30 tomorrow.

[RebelOne]

41. It is supposed to be 70 here in the Atlanta area tomorrow,

but cloudy, so it will seem cooler. And will be rainy Wednesday and then the 50s the rest of the week. I do not like 70 degrees. This is winter and I like the cold temperatures.

[redqueen]

32. Only rain stops people here from firing up the grill or smoker.

'Here' meaning Texas.

[Aerows]

34. rain doesn't stop us here in MS

We have a porch.

[redqueen]

37. Too dry for that here.

Fire hazard.

[Aerows]

38. Wet as can be here

I think it has pretty much rained every darn day.

[niyad]

44. could you send some this way, please? we are in drought.

[Aerows]

69. Wish I Could my friend

You and I love peppers

It is wet as a dog here. Not in a good way, I wish it would stop raining.

[MattBaggins]

45. We upstate NYers must be crazy

We pride ourselves on breaking out the grill at least once in February as a way of saying FU to Old Man Winter.

[customerserviceguy]

73. Like I've said to my Pacific Northwest friends who wondered why I moved to NY

Once you get about an hour outside of NYC, most everybody's normal again.

[gollygee]

51. That's what I thought

It's freezing here. Actually, we're going to be up around 50 or something tomorrow I hear. Maybe we will fire up the grill after all.

[Major Nikon]

82. Perhaps not many, but it was in the mid 70's today in North Texas

Perfect BBQ weather.

[ileus]

24. I'll have to check the freezer.

We had pot roast tonight.

[zappaman]

26. Had a roast beef sandwich today.

Tomorrow, going to BOA steakhouse...probably get a filet mignon...

[niyad]

27. and people bitch about kwanzaa being a made-up holiday?

What the hay is Meat Week?
Meat Week is a national holiday started in 2005. Each January, for 8 consecutive nights, people across the country gather over piles of BBQ. In every participating city, there is a devoted Captain who creates the schedule of restaurants. Each city develops their own traditions, but Meat Week typically focuses on good ol' American BBQ: Pork, ribs, brisket, barbecued chicken, and anything else you can smoke and smother in sauce.


well, looking at the map, my community is not doing anything. on the other hand, there are only two bbq places in town, and neither is that good.

[Aerows]

33. Roast

a huge roast with rice, gravy and delicious broccoli. I am an unashamed, unabashed carnivore.

[William769]

35. I need new glasses.

When I first read the headline I read: What are YOU doing for Meta Week?

[Apophis]

39. Beating the meat.

Is that acceptable language here?

[niyad]

46. welcome to DU-- are you tenderizing the meat?

[Apophis]

61. ...not exactly.

Thank you for the welcome!

[Small Accumulates]

59. Love it

Your handle (The Snake that is your nemisis!!) and your reply. LOL...

[Apophis]

60. Are you a Stargate SG-1 fan?

It's my favorite show!

[Small Accumulates]

62. It's on my list

I love the tv-watching potential of winter. Hibernation takes on a new meaning now. After I finish Fringe....SG-1, etc., will constitute my watch list.
I AM a fan of the Amduat, the Egyptian Book of the Dead. It's a tremendously useful guide for the living as well as the dead!! Facing one's Apophis (nemesis) can be a be a bracing and transformational experience.

[SouthernDonkey]

40. PETA

People Eating Tasty Animals!

[longship]

43. It's Spam for me.

Just kidding.

I'd have falafel,
but every time I eat it
I feel awful.

Sorry about that.

[niyad]

48. you just couldn't resist, could you?

[longship]

49. Well, Meat Week kind of begs for humorous responses.

I'd go along with Chocolate Week and would celebrate with a hot cup of cocoa with two big marshmallows on top. Perfect in winter. Maybe a dash of brandy in it...

[niyad]

50. my own winter drink--my cocoa mix in bottom of large mug, moistened with peppermin schnapps,

fill mug with coffee, brandy or kahlua, and float whipped cream on top.

chocolate week is a necessity.

[longship]

53. A major food group, my friend. nt

[niyad]

65. the four major food groups:

chocolate, pasta, wine and fruit

[joeybee12]

47. Real food for real people...

Jarmes Garner did some of those ads...then he had a heart attack.

[SummerSnow]

52. Meat week is when....

McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's actually use real meat for one week

[Deep13]

54. Cooking and eating my neighbors.

WHAT?!

Geeze, you eat one neighbor and they call you a cannibal. Unbelievable!

[OldDem2012]

57. It was an accident, officer! I never realized the neighbor fell into the stew pot....

....already diced, sliced, and tenderized!

[Deep13]

58. Exactly. nt

[Kalidurga]

55. Two insurance adjusters figures...

I am too busy celebrating national oatmeal month to bother with meat. Plus, I quit eating meat last year and I feel a lot better, no way I am going back to that.

[2naSalit]

63. Abstaining from eating animals

on purpose.

And washed it down with spicy V-8.

[Doremus]

68. I celebrate meatLESS week, 52 weeks a year.

Went vegan a year, 50 lbs, 40 cholesterol points, and 3 dress sizes ago.

I've never felt this good before. Well, not in several decades at least.

[Beacool]

70. Actually, I was checking the list of restaurants in the map.

There is one in the East Village that I wouldn't mind trying.

[Llewlladdwr]

I'll be driving up to San Antonio on Thursday to go to Fogo de Chao.
