Another Summer BBQ (!)
We had two BBQs this year!
We could have had even more because, in July, summer came to England (but not to West Scotland).
Now it’s just a happy memory, of course.
Nevertheless, on July 26th, we got John’s work gang and a few mates around for a proper BBQ cook-out. I had a freezer brimming with marinated meats and boxes of free-range chicken wings—bought in a moment of giddiness when the sun peeked out while we were shopping. In addition I bought mince meat, sausages, a heap of roasting vegetables, strawberries, cream, meringue, sticky chocolate pudding and icecream.
Then I made the salads, dips and sauces.
Imagine my surprise when our guests assumed it was a pot luck and brought prime steak, giant prawns, a chocolate gâteau and tinned grapefruit.
Somehow we went through it all. Except for the green salad. What is it with boys and green food?
