National Barbecue Month

Is it just me or is there a national month for everything? This month is national barbecue month and I'm thinking I need to do two things:

One: Find some good vegetarian barbecue recipes and then request my parents to barbecue all month. Vegetarian or not, I love the smoky smell of barbecue.

Two: I must read this thesis on Barbecue written by Anoop Desai, former American Idol contestant. It's a 60-page paper on the history of barbecue and yeah, it's downloadable. You can read a paper about barbecue while listening to its autor sing Donna Summer's Dim All The Lights. This is why I love the internet.
