The BBQ season is almost upon us!

[Ray Finkle]

I’m sure you’ll have an equally thirst quenching beverage on hand?

Apple & Blackcurrant cordial I'm afraid

Work tomorrow and if I start on the beer I know where it will end up. There are only so many times one can say 'one more won't hurt' before it does

T-minus 30 minutes until ignition.

Have you survived the carsagens?

Was it the beer can chicken or something different this evening?

Not tonight

We had chicken wings in a sticky bbq sauce, prawn skewers with a sweet chilli glaze, seasoned smoked mackerel fillets, sweetcorn, mozzarella balls wrapped in Parma Ham and a good old fashioned hot dog with pork & leek sausages.

I'm so stuffed I've had to switch to wine as my stomach can't take any more beer

We brought some Greek herb mixes back so I’ve made some pork souvlaki and marinated some nice looking pork chops. Think we’ll be eating indoors though. Just enjoying a cheeky Mythos and pretending I’m still on holiday!

What time shall I be there?

Ah too late I’m afraid, it’s all gone! If your craving a bit of Greek food though you should check out the Lichfield food festival August bank holiday weekend.

I'll be in Lanzarote

 

[thunderchild]

Hmmm, Lichfield or Lanzarote...that’s a tough call!

I don't think anywhere in Lanzarote has three spires

It's an L of a choice.

Had an alleged works BBQ on Friday night. Alleged as it was advertised thus but there was no BBQ! There were veggie burgers, something grey and burger shaped, and something grey and sausage/kebab shaped. I am led to believe that the one of the "grey"s was meant to be lamb but it really did not look good! Sorry no pics as I don't want you to be put off eating!

However, last Sunday was quite a different matter as my youngest cousin's eldest daughter had an 18th birthday BBQ and was possibly the best BBQ the family has had in over a decade with plump burgers and sausages and marinated chicken mini breasts, served with 2 sorts of salad. Sorry no pics as the food was just too enjoyable.

Tonight's BBQ finished just as a few spots of rain started falling from the sky.

Good stuff as the rain usually starts just after I light it

 

[Ray Finkle]

I've just got to.......

 

[thunderchild]

I've just got to.......

I wanted one tonight but I was overruled....might have to have one Sunday afternoon if the weather holds.

It's supposed to be dry all weekend.

Time to resurrect this thread I think.

The start of a decent week of weather is forecast for tomorrow so I think I'll be off to buy a bag of charcoal

After gorging myself on sausages, burgers, steak, chicken etc there's a barbecue desert that I love to finish with. Take a banana and peel it. Cut it in half lengthwise and place it on foil. Grate chocolate over it and add a splash of brandy (a lid full is usually enough). Seal the foil up, and place on the barbecue for a few minutes (depending how soft you like the banana cooked). Yum!
