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.

Footy and Barbecue during the world cup?!
You fancy getting up at 7am for a barbecue? Sod that, I'll watch the matches from in bed thanks. :0D
As for the whole gas powered barbecue thing, it is a bit lazy yeah. Just through a couple of bottles of lighter fluid on the charcoal, that get sit going pretty sharpish.
Probably best to stand back a bit though...

My parents have got a gas powered BBQ, which is really just laziness, isn't it? It's reliable, which just isn't right, you need to fight with the fire, struggle to get it going, it's the sweat that makes it taste good.
Not literally sweat, mind, that would be grim.
How about football and BBQ during the World Cup, that should be fun, no?

BBQ is the sole reason I am moving to a new flat with a balcony.
Its got nothing to do with the missus wanting a sun tan, honest.

Sounds like a good plan to me Meka!
One thing does make it even better though, and that's the company of friends you haven't seen for a while.
My parents are going away in July, and all my mates will be back from uni for the summer - they'll have finished their course.
So, a sunny day, cold beer, hot burgers, good music and better company. A perfect way to spend a summers day.
