I am throwing a cookout at my parent's house while I am house-sitting while they are on vacation.
I have never grilled out before - my cooking skills have been confined to the kitchen. Does anybody have any tips on what to cook, how to prepare the meat and what else should I serve? I planned on grabbing some chips and dip, but I would be interested to know what else I can cook on a grill and any other side dishes that might be good.
Note the logistics - 6-7 guys confirmed, 5 women confirmed, possible 2 more. Might be one more dude and my neighbors now that I think about it.
Any advice on quality beer? I really only drink Rolling Rock of Bud Light - and the point of that is to get drunk. I am not looking to get drunk, but I do know a couple of the guys will only drink beer, as I will most likely be drinking vodka or whiskey. Any recommendations? I probably will drink some beer as well if it goes good with the food.
