The 62nd birthday party

Last month, we attended a 62nd birthday party at my brother’s place.

There was so much food at the party! These were brie and leek […]

Barbecue dinner with friends

Towards the end of March, we went to our friends S and D’s home for a barbecue. I love grilled or barbecued haloumi cheese, so I was chuffed to see our starter dish cooking on the barbie. Soon, we could hear the sizzle of haloumi turning golden-brown on the hotplate. It smelled great! I ate […]

Delicious vegetarian barbecue!

On Monday evening, we went to our friend M’s for a barbecue dinner. M told us not to bring anything – as M and her son L are both vegetarians, we went along knowing the meal would probably be vego. I know most people think of me as a complete carnivore who is anti-vegetable, but […]

It’s been a while since we barbecued!

We were supposed to attend a barbecue at our friends Lou and Dan’s place yesterday at 3PM, but when we got home from the shops around lunch time I felt like crap and didn’t think I’d be up to any kind of socialising. Jac suggested I have a sleep and see how I felt. At […]
