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.

Yeah, it's a real pain when that happens.

Apparently it is not too bad. He might even make it back for the second leg of The champs league.

After?!!? You can't do that.
Burger, football, beer. The perfect combination for an excellent evening. Just make sure you don't get confused after a large consumption of the beer, and start eating the football and watching the burger.

Talking of the football, does anyone know if Beckham will be out there with us after that ridiculous challenge the other night?
Last I heard he was waiting the result of an X-Ray...

But some of us will have to go to work after the footy has finished.
I was thinking more BBQ after the footy, rather than before it!
"I can nearly smell the charcoal and steaming burgers, or did I just fart?"
Er, if your farts smell like that, I'd go to the doctors!
:0D

Reading this is making me well hungry now.
Sounds like a great idea as the weathers so good at the mo. Only problem is I dont think I cleaned the barbie when I last used it last year and there's no knowing what might be growing in there!

Sounds like you've got a good day planned out mate, may you enjoy it. We never have Barbies really. I've only ever had two , one was at my cousins and the other back here at home. Anyway, the burgers tasted so succulent and juicy. Forget any of this plastic cheese microwave crap, this is the real deal (not that I like cheese or anything :D).
'I don't get the whole thing with the gas powered Barbies. They are just like ovens for the outdoors. A Barbies not a Barbie unless theres a chance that you might lose you eyebrows when you stoke the puppy up, or mabey thats just me.'
Of course. Gas powered Barbies suck. Charcoal powered ones are far better, as you can actually aleviate some of the boredom you may have whilst they're cooking by setting fire to the bags of charcoal :)
'You fancy getting up at 7am for a barbecue? Sod that, I'll watch the matches from in bed thanks. :0D'
You lazy sod! :D
I'll have to see what I can do for a barbeque soon. The weather is improving and summer is getting closer. I can nearly smell the charcoal and steaming burgers, or did I just fart?
