My beautiful Weber!

I have had the staff tend the lawns at Schloss Stress and tomorrow I will be lighting the Weber. This will be the first time since daughter passed and it will be for her because she loved them. I haven't made my mind up yet what to have killed to be cooked, but that is a decision for later.
Apparently I am required to serve something called "Salad" as well. Any ideas? Satanists will probably know.
Salad.
Avoid green leaves of any kind.
half way decent: nuts, including little pine nuts and big walnuts; olives [served separately], celery, grated carrot, sun-dried tomato, a few bright pepper strips, little slices of powerful onion, perhaps sweet corn and avocado, and a home-made dressing* in a separate jug.
*We are barbarians and use one of the many German salad dressing mixes that we buy in packets each summer. Their prime function is to stop the 2 dozen bottles of Deutscher Sect and the half dozen Asbachs from rattling in transit.
Bugger! I forgot my beetroot!

The rolling verdant acres having been flymo'd, 'twas indeed a Weber DCO this evening!
Nothing too OTT - just pork fillet (which had been marinating all afternoon), plus spuds, sugar snap peas, pepper strips and baby corn cobs all cooked together in a shallow tray with butter and a drop of water to stop any burning. Is that 'warm salad'?
Yum.
Was rather good - washed down with some Hefe-Weißbier.
Jägermeister (from the freezer) or perhaps some Asbach later tonight!

Langley ...
You forgot the fresh 'Chilies' (the Naga is an excellent choice) ... But certainly no Green Stuff ... Remember the Human Appendix is a redundant organ
Well done BEagle ... Mr & Mrs Coff will be BBQ'ing tomorrow evening.

The wife's sister has been visiting the last couple months. While on a trip through Utah, we had dinner at a "Famous Dave's" (US chain of BBQ restaurants - pretty good by chain standards). The sister loved it - said she'd never even had pork ribs before 
(I can understand the pork part - she lives in a Muslim country so pork is rather hard to come by, but never had BBQ ribs? 
).
So a couple weeks ago I put some back ribs and a 'sittin chicken' in the smoker for 4 hours.
Maybe it's just as well she's leaving next week - she'd probably lose her beautiful hour glass figure if she stayed around here too much longer

Now Glide Towers is once more located in the Fatherland, memories of the JHQ street parties and lots of forecast sun have instigated our first street barbeque of the summer. One of our number volunteered the use of his new, Satan's breath fuelled device. Short shrift has been dispensed and only correctly fuelled black orbs shall abound. Fire and flesh in abundance together with suitable quantities of pilsner, Alt und Weiss beer. The 'damen' have suggested some green stuff might be nice and we agreed so the barbeque is taking place on a lawn😈

I'm working this weekend, so trusty Weber will be resurrected after Winter layoff next weekend (not used since Christmas turkey - my post #1712 refers...) Fingers crossed for the weather - although I have done Christmas Dinner in the past with the help of an umbrella and a head torch!

PS: by the way, why is this not moved to JB..?
Is Weber considered a "Military Hardware", maybe?

Please don't move it .........
Its not the only thing we sometimes cannot find in a hurry.
And yes, the Weber is military hardware, together with a bastard great PX- purchased US lawnmower, 3HP, still going strong as my reserve, all but 30 years old and neglected to the Nth degree.

At the risk of riling my fellow Weberites, there is one appropriate 'salad' when doing proper BBQ, and it does have some green stuff in it:
Coleslaw
I don't know why, but the flavors of coleslaw and slow smoked pork complement each other very nicely. In fact a very popular BBQ dish is a pulled pork sandwich topped with coleslaw. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it - if the cook knows what they're doing it's wonderful

Yes, tdracer, I think you're right. Coleslaw works well with BBQ'd food.
The Weber at Chateau Courtnage has been busy this Spring. My local butcher makes the best marinated brochettes, so I'm being a bit uncreative at the moment. But very happy. It means I can be composing and recording right up until cooking time. The only prep so far has been putting a few pommes de terre, the hottest spring onions I've ever had and some big red tomatoes.

My beloved has retrieved large Kangaroo steaks for Sunday.
No VB in stock however.

Orb functional check satis (very! ) yesterday.
Nothing special - only Milady T and self - so a beer-can chook with some "spiralized" butternut squash (using Milady's latest toy .......) and corn on the cob.
Veggies done whilst chook was "resting", squash in a baking tray "indirect", while the corn did nicely on "direct" heat at the orb edges........ Yum!
