You can't beat a BBQ.....

.....especially when I'm not the one cooking it!

Today was a hot day, and hot days are perfect for barbecues. In our family, it's always been the man of the house who cooks the barbecue, and I'm not one to break with tradition. Especially if it means I don't have to stand over a grill and flip burgers and sausages with smoke clouding my vision and flies buzzing around me.

I did however, make a salad. A pasta salad. Not a particularly exotic one, I'll admit. But it did get eaten. Well, some of it did. I made a little too much, you see. I can't help it. I always get carried away with pasta and potatoes! I love them both and I'm usually hungry when I'm preparing food and so - well, you know! I end up with far too much! But that's alright. Tomorrow's supposed to be hot again, so that's perfect salad weather. And then there's always breakfast, and lunch. Not to forget morning and afternoon teas......

And yes, I know I said that I don't eat red meat. But that's only because I don't like the taste of it. But there's something about barbecued meat that's, well, kind of appealing, in the right frame of mind. And so, yes, I ate two barbecued sausages.

The more observant of you may notice that there was no post for last night's meal. That's not because we didn't eat (although maybe we shouldn't have). I cooked up a Butter Chicken, but it was, well, not that memorable. So I kinda' let it slip. (It was from a packet anyway, so I guess it doesn't count!)

Well time to go now. Must go and look up some recipes for leftover pasta salad!
