Get Grilling!

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:43:14 GMT

Today the sun is high in the sky and even through the glass I know that these are the kind of afternoons we hankered after on those far too many dismal, overcast days of spring. It feels like it’s been a long time coming and I just hope that when you are reading this the weather has settled into a warm and sunny pattern and we are experiencing a proper June, rather than some strange hot weather aberration that lasted for a fleeting moment and then disappeared taking the summer of 2013 with it. That big bright yellow sun has the remarkable effect of instantly turning our thoughts to cooking and eating in the great outdoors. I think the entire country has moved outside in the past couple of days. Barbecues have been extracted from the back of the shed, dusted down and polished up and there has been a noticeable run on meat for grilling. Barbecuing also gets most men cooking. Even those who wouldn’t step foot in the kitchen from one end of the year to the next, will happily pull out their long tongs and take their place at the great grilling altar of steel and charcoal that is the barbecue. Of course with the advent of the gas cooking apparatus all the hard work of heating it up and stoking the coals is no longer as necessary. Indeed much of the danger, the main reason given as to why men like grilling in the first place, has been largely removed from the process. Just for fun, I came across the following recently which I thought I’d share.
