FloatING, BEags, not floaters. As well you know. And, yes, very much the chequers apron. As you might expect. I wouldn't want to let you down!

I trust your barbi tonight is good and not cooked on Satan's turds.

Now, about your language...

Reichswurst und Bratkartofflen mit Mayo-Senf und ein mandatory Hefe-Weißbier.
Cela ne marchera pas dans cette partie de la France, so I shall have to guess...

Sausage of the Reich and baby potatoes with snotty mayonnaise and "you vill enjoys ze beer!"

Right?

Yes, the Wurst was standard NATO brattie - although like many other things*, they seem to be getting smaller these days....

No doubt in La Belle France, your snorkers are something ethnic made from the tusks, tails, trotters and testicles of the local sanglier?

Barbi' was indeed fired by proper charcoal, not briquettes! With a few wood chippings added.

Mayo-Senf I make from 3 parts mustard to one part mayonnaise - to add some 'Schnelli' taste. As for the Bratkartoffeln, not baby potatoes, more like 'home fries' jazzed up a little. Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier is naturally cloudy 5.5% AbV wheat beer from Bavaria - beats the heck out of VB or that 1664 stuff!



* such as Wagon Wheels, I meant!

We even lit up in deepest darkest Aberdeenshire yesterday. Very pleasant it was too.

Oh well, summer was lovely, Autumn started today.

I cannot compete but, to break our duck, we had the swiftest of lunchtime meals [courtesy of the breath of satan's backside]:

bratties, Large lincolnshires, home-made bread, home-made kaisersenf [:one part horseradish, three parts wholegrain mustard]. And sparkling mineral water. We were both driving.

Flash to bang and out the house inside 60 minutes. How the poor get by.

I love learning, this will be prepped at Casa Del Lobo Solitario this weekend.
I'll add some locally made sausage to the grill as a supplement.
We've been out of town two weekends in a row. SWMBO has requested / directed that Weber Ops shall resume this Sunday evening.
The skirt steak begins marinating Saturday morning in lime and tequila, fresh pablano peppers (from the Saturday Morning farmer's market) will be roasted, and of course onions and jalapenos to round out the veggie contingent. Beer to be named later, but Modelo Especial usually goes well with a fajita dinner.
a quote from our last Weber Operations from my son
"This is better than restaurant food, and cheaper."

GENESIS

I now have the best of both worlds - a Weber Kettle (12 yrs old) for the more artisan stuff, and a Weber 330 Genesis for the get-home-and-fancy-a-barbie stuff.

Must say I am gobsmacked with the performance of the 330 - but then again it was ten times the price.

Already enjoyed three hearty menus from the big green Webber. A Sunday Chicken, a pork joint, rendered to pulled pork, and only yesterday a most enjoyable, 5 course Cyprus style evening dinner. Now, I need to get some filfar and Turkish delight. any ideas gentlemen ?

Good work, Smuj! Love your menus too.

Chateau Cortney took delivery of a new, small Weber today to supplement the permanent, built-in, larger capacity barbie. The small one is better for lunchtimes when I'm just cooking four hot dogs. First trial outing this evening produced four perfect Toulouse sausages.

Courtney ...

I can't bear to see you suffering like this any longer ... you are clearly being tortured. With no access to proper beer, being denied a Land Rover of required spec and now finally you are being forced to eat something called a Toulouse Sausage ... we need to get you an Air Drop organised PDQ by the sounds of it

Thanks, Coff. It is pretty tough, but you know me. I'll just soldier on and try not to complain. Actually, you have just given me a great idea. My neighbour is driving down here from England in a couple of weeks with a big, empty trailer. I could actually do with a proper beer or two. I'll get him on the case.

Courtney, give Parky a call on BBMF to see if he can roster in one if these for you...

Great plan, Leon. I'll get the drop zone on the south lawn cleared.

Woe woe thrice woe!

The weather here ist sehr schlecht, only managed one "sit-outside to eat BBQ" and its almost June.

OK so I am nesh ........ 3 years at Nicosia buggered the body for anything less than 22 Deg for sitting outside. Not seen 22 Deg since last year.

Enough to make one pull one's pork.

Apparently, Kerry Katona will do pulled pork for £1.50, but unfortunately your wood has to be fired first! (at Iceland):

Steady lads, wasn't it Sqdn Ldr Kerry Katona, that VC10 driver, made up to fit the LH seat ?

Langley, get some kit on lad, and get your Webber going. Ignore the weather, it's only the construct of those met men.

Absolutely Smudge!

Weather's never too bad - you're just not properly dressed!
