First BBQ of 2011

If I could ever figure out how British summer is.

Last Sunday we had rain, from morning till late night. Non-stop. I had to wear my fleece indoor to keep myself warm. Then Monday came, bamn, loads of sunshine. Today is even better. Warm and sunny all day long. It's so pleasant that we decided to get a disposable BBQ grill from our local supermarket and have dinner in the garden.

We've also got four Welsh lamb cutlets and one beef sirloin steak to keep the carnivore happy. Bell pepper and cherry tomatoes to make the meal look balanced. I also picked up a pot of whipping cream on the way to have Eton Mess to finish. Simple, straightforward, nothing fancy. Most ingredients went onto the grill without any work. We just sat by the table helping ourselves with some crisps and sour cream dip while waiting for the food to cook by itself.

We finished every grilled item. Our fingers smelled slightly smoky and our minds were thoroughly relaxed and immensely contented. That's how summer should be.
