Barbecue
The weather report claimed that we were going to have sun yesterday and it didn’t work out that way, but we had planned to barbecue so we went ahead. We started with prawns which we’ve done a few times before and we marinated them in oil, lemon, garlic and chilli as we usually do. Then […]

Yesterday afternoon we went to a friend’s barbecue but it wasn’t just your average barbecue, this one has been organised for months and required a substantial amount of planning. An ordinary grill wouldn’t have been appropriate, what was needed for this occasion was a handcrafted spit made to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s design. A few sausages and […]

Our second barbecue in as many days! It seemed like a waste not to barbecue on any rain-free weekend days, so we bought some fish to burn. It was a pink / red sea bream this time – the first time I remember having one. We bought it from a local fishmonger and when he […]

So finally it’s a) the weekend, b) we don’t have any prior social engagements and c) it’s hot….leaving only one thing to do….BARBECUE!!! We started with corn. Stephen bought these last week with the sleeping bags husks still intact, despite the fact that he maintains he prefers them to be cooked without. I gently prised […]

Did I mention I have become slightly obsessed with avocados lately? I can’t get enough of them. We picked up some avocados on Wednesday to use this weekend…how’s that for organisation? Today I turned it into guacamole which we ate with Poco Loco corn chips while we waited for the fire to get hot.

Yesterday, we went to a friend’s barbecue. We’d been keeping our fingers crossed all week that the weather was going to co-operate and we were lucky, apart from a few spots of rain just as the food went on the grill, it stayed dry. Darren is famous for his guacamole, and he didn’t let us […]

Kerri suggested that as the weather was good today, we should barbecue this evening. A good idea it was too, but I think the weather disagreed with us and it started clouding over. It was still good enough to barbecue when the time came though. We’re on a health kick at the moment and I […]

I think summer has arrived. I could be wrong but in the interests of making the most of it while it lasts, Stephen and I barbecued yesterday. We’d been talking to a friend on Friday night about how good barbecued mackerel is so decided to have that, along with some bream. We also had corn, […]

This afternoon we had burgers on the barbecue. We bought some beef mince and Kerri made up some burgers with onion, parsely, salt, pepper and mustard. To start, we had some salad with borage, which was apparently “herb of the week” at Waitrose. Normally, I’d be quite put off by such blatant marketing tactics, but […]

It was a warm and sunny day today so we decided to barbecue some fish. Stephen went off to the fishmonger and came back with a bumper bag of prawns, langoustines, sea bass and bream. We started off with the prawns (marinated in onion, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil) and langoustines and some garlic […]
