"BBQ"

If the sun's still shining when I leave work today, I'm going to swing by Tesco's to buy some meat and bread rolls and I'm going to have a BBQ.

I was going to do it yesterday, but stopped at Waitrose, not knowing that it was a girl supermarket that has an olive bar, and didn't sell huge burgers, and lumps of flavoured chicken. So today will be BBQ day instead.

There's something special about cooking over flames outside on a warm evening. The mix of the fresh spring air with the smell of the cooking food. The way that the flames dance, bursting to life when fat from the food falls into them. Music playing.

Then there's the food. Burgers never taste better than when they're barbequed, and that's a fact. Well, as long as you're not completely incompetent, and manage to cook them through without turning them into lumps of charcoal. You know that these beaties are flame-grilled, not like the microwave heated products that Burger King sell you.

And what's with all of this poncey stuff they put in them? Hell, I'm not doing that, I'll fry me some onions for my hot dogs and burgers, with a nice dollup of tomato sauce too.

Then there will be messy food, like BBQ ribs, and coated chicken bits. Nibbling round a bone, covered in coating and meat juice.

I'm hoping that sun stays out, I've made myself really hungry now.

Warm weather, good music, tasty food. Excellent.

And barbeques rule. Or Barbies, as someone I knew used to call them.

A good friend of mine is a... pyromanic, no other word to describe him. He loves being on the beach as much as me, so we buy these throwaway bbq things, and torch our food. Unfortunatly, he also enjoys sausage makes that you've never heard of, which just happen to pop as you heat them, and pour sausage meat onto any other meat that happens to be nearby, living or otherwise.

Beaches rule.

Aliboy, just do what I plan to do in the summer.

Say to your mates "BBQ round mine, bring your own food and drink"

That way you don't have to worry about buying all the stuff. Just set the barby up, turn the music on and away you go.

There is the worry that you could end up with 97 burgers and no buns of course...

Have some Beardy Beef Stryke?

BBQ's rule, would have one but that requires setting it up and going to get appropriate food which I don't have the time to do. But I shall plan one soon. mmmm

It's a damn good day today. I might see if I can have a BBQ.

Big slabs of beef. Thats the ticket. BEEEF.

Indeed I did, and it was bloody lovely!

In fact, I even had left over BBQ chicken drumsticks for lunch.

Hopefully the first of many BBQ's this year.

So did you eat BBQ man-meat, Meka-san?

Yes, it's BBQ time again!!
That means that my dad will soon re-start where he left off last winter, and BBQ all his Greek favourites evey Saturday night!

It's a shame that it's all Greek food, as I hate the stuff!
But he does occasionally do Hot Dogs and Burgers!

I went to a BBQ today.

I wont tell you any more, because it would be one of those ones that starts 'oh, we were so wasted'.

Enjoy it !
