my partner and i went to my mum and dads house yesterday for a bbq. it was so sunny and warm and we all thought it would be afternoon/evening for a bbq. so we all went over. it ended up being myself, my partner, my mummy, my daddy, my sister and her boyfriend, all sitting out in the sun with our beers and our glasses of wine, waiting on daddy the "bbq man" to start her up. i was very excited because i adore my mum and dads cooking. my dad is the cooker, and my mum has a way of making the most basic of salad ingredients transform into mouthwateringly delicious combinations! so i couldn't wait. she had made: coleslaw potatoe salad apple and celery salad savoury rice pasta salad rocket, crouton, tomato and onion salad with balasmic vinegar lettuce, onion, tomato and pepper salad with honey mustard egg mayonnasie corn on the cob and had the best part of all, freshly baked baguettes for crunchy bread. yummy yummy :) .. now came the meat! .. beef ribs, pork ribs, pork chops, chicken skewers with honey chilli, bbq chicken skewers, lamb kebabs.. my goodness, there was so much meat i literally didn't know what to do with myself. you name it, and it used to have a hoof, it was on that bbq! he even bbq'd some garlic and chilli prawns for those of us who weren't fans of read meat. it was obscene.. but it was magical! lol.. how many of us love a bbq, and who would stay away from the meat and stick to the salad?

"mummy and daddy"? You sound ever so posh! Salad or meat? I like a bit of both. Sometimes I like more of one than the other, and sometimes it is the t'other way round. As a chap I know I am supposed to prefer the meat, but I am conscious of having a healthy balanced diet, so I do stick a few lettuce leaves and other rabbit food on my plate. More for effect than purpose, but I do eat it. As with most bbq's I host or attend, there seems to be an over-abundance of meats. I am not sure one is supposed to eat it all or choose one, but I tend to think it's a bit of a challenge and try for all. Sounds like yours was delicious and I am glad you had a good time.

lol! mummy and daddy adore moi :) i am ever so posh :) .. i don't sound anything like where i'm from.. my friends and even my partner take the mick out of me constantly because i'm so posh. i went to an all girls dominican grammar school, and come from a well to do family, so i'm very offly offly lol! i like both too, but i just think sometimes when you look at a bbq, even though people waffle about how it is sooo good for you, because the meat is essentially being grilled etc etc, it's like a heart attack waiting to happen!
