Sizzle

It's BBQ time at castle Aginoth:-)

We usually do a few BBQ's during the summer, but this year has been pretty busy re-enactment wise, and we've been particularly broke, so this is going to be the one and only. We always do one on this weekend as it is the "between birthday BBQ" The kids are getting too old to want a bunch of oldies hanging around their parties anymore, so it's a good excuse to have an extra party where we get to invite who we want:-0

Most of the crazies are coming (RCA is standing us up for a night with the Rolling Stones and her beloved. Pretty poor if you ask me*grin*), a bunch of re-enactors, and some people from a couple of playgroups, plus a couple of old friends & relatives, so it'll be interesting to see how they all mix.

I've bought loads of sausages, burgers, & accessories. Aggie's cut the grass & readied the two BBQ's (one meat, one veggie). There's music blaring out accross the garden. I've got beer in the fridge, wine, pop & juices galore. The kids have kind of tidied away many of their garden toys. Now we just have to tidy the house a little bit, and statrt drinking:-)

Oh, it's forecst to rain again today, but we're using the power of positive thinking (or studiously ignoring it) to keep that away. Although we have hedged our bets by putting the gazebo up over the BBQ's:-)

    We had a wonderful time :-)

    As always, an excellent opportunity to run away from 'life' and hide out with good friends :-)

    Looking forward to next weekend!

    I was impressed that the weather held off - mostly - after all of the dire forecasts! I'm still stuffed after wolfing down 6 veggie burgers so will probably skip lunch today!

    ..oh, and I think that you've got enough left over booze to start a shop... or until RCA visits you!

    Thanks for a fun afternoon/evening...

    Was over at CQ's and it sounds like your BBQ was loads of fun with great food and even greater company! Long time no see, my dear Mrs. A. Good to be visiting you.

    It sounds like you're going to have a wonderful time! We're having a big cookout / bonfire on Assateague Beach over Labor Day Weekend and there are masses of people invited! I love BBQs! Have fun!
