As Marion and I heard that the weather would be extremely this weekend we decided to have a barbecue together. It could be the last change for this year to have one outside…
It is not allowed the have something with open fire on your balcony. So a normal barbecue with coal is not permitted and that is why I bought last year an electric barbecue.
Rather early in the morning I went to one of the best butchers here in this area to get some nice meat. We assumed that more people would have the same idea and it would be a pity if all the better meat would be sold already. But I was in time.
Later on we went to a supermarket close by and bought all the other things need.
One thing we both don’t like are those BBQ’s with only big hunks of meat and nothing else. The meat must be of good quality. And there must be more to it like salads, chopped raw vegetables, slices of paprika, cucumber, French bread and such.
We took our time for the barbecue. There was no reason to hurry. It was fun to talk while enjoying all the nice things on the table. The wine tasted very good (the wine was a Chateau Ferrande Graves Rouge that Marion brought along… a very nice and elegant Bordeaux).
If this was the last barbecue of the year, then at least it was a good one! I think I say for us both that we enjoyed it a lot. And as Marion said, as the weather turns bad we always can have a Gourmet or a fondue. And right she is 🙂
And oh… if it is up to me the weather stays like this! I just love to see Marion in her bikini 😛 😛
It was a very nice BBQ. As you already said, it was great to chat while enjoying the food and wine. I love this kind of things doing together.
