Michael The terms "home" and "grilling" are inseparably linked in America. A home is not complete until there is a so-called barbecue (BBQ) in the garden. The head of the family stands at it and prepares hamburgers or steaks for the whole family. Important: Grilling is a man's job.
Grills are sacred devices. Everyone has "the best one," and owners enjoy discussing how many... BTU Whether you have a grill or want to know the best way to prepare a particular cut of meat. Since we don't have a garden but only a small balcony, it was important not to buy a 32-hamburger monster. The "Weber Q" (pronounced "Webber Kju") is just right: serving up to six guests is no problem, and the unit is so handy that it takes up hardly any space. And you can really tell that it embodies the extensive experience of the renowned... The translation of "Grillfirma Weber" toEnglish is "Grill company Weber. The heat is distributed evenly, so nothing burns and nothing remains raw. It runs on small propane gas cartridges, which last for about 5 grilling sessions and cost $2. You can also buy an adapter for really large propane gas tanks, but Angelika is always afraid that I'll blow up our balcony.
I still remember exactly how the "Weber Q" came into the house. I had ordered it online from Amazon and was still working at AOL at the time. While I was sitting in the office, I suddenly received a call from the mailroom saying that the grill had arrived. Great, I said, when can you bring it to my cubicle? Well, stammered the AOL mailman, it's not that simple; it was clear that this was a personal item, and therefore I had to pick it up myself at the mailroom on the other side of Sunnyvale. I was shocked! Up until then, I had ordered at least a hundred things online, and the items had always been delivered to my cubicle by the mailman working at AOL.
I didn't make a big fuss and just went to the given address in God's name: "Caribbean Drive, Sunnyvale." Just before the post office, I saw that there was a company called Yahoo! located there, right before Caribbean Drive. A few weeks later, I applied there. The rest, as they say, is history.
