More socialising!

 In our garden - with the new BBQ. A wedding present since you ask. But we're not looking for anything else, thanks. Though if insist you can make donations to a charity of my choice: a sail cover fund for the greater good. 
This was a doubly stressful situation: firstly it being the first firing up of the new Weber Smokey Joe, and secondly that the couple we were entertaining have a reputation from beyond the bypass of being notorious foodies. 
And I do think that once I’d allowed an extra unforeseen thirty minutes for the charcoal to grey (to grey: is that the expression?) that it all went swimmingly. The SK could relax at last having been up since 2am crafting the nduja titbits. And I think we could still have been cooking hours after they’d left with their uneaten desserts neatly wrapped, such was the heat still belching out. 
Next!
