Perfect summer BBQ evening

A sunset, fresh salads, home made salsa, good quality meat, rosé wine, friends and mushrooms with melted cheese on the grill...

My idea of a perfect summer BBQ evening. Our friends CJ & K invited us over (like almost every Sunday) for a great BBQ dinner last weekend. Just one of those nights that are memorable.

Of course in all my excitement over the food I forgot to take pictures of the meat, but hey - I'm sure you guys know the concept of BBQ. Kristiaan had a few BBQ tricks up his sleeve, I'm sure he has been watching BBQ University!

Also CJ took the best photo in months of our little family! 

Thank you for having us (over and over again!)

Photo diary of a perfect summer night's BBQ

The other week we were invited by our friend Cleo to come and BBQ at her mother's beautiful house.

Anne & Cleo really spoiled us with great food and refreshing drinks: we had great dips with red beet, eggplant and sardines. Mussels cooked in the Green Egg, super tender chicken skewers and then the bbq had not started yet! Let's say it was great - and that's an understatement. We hung out, played games, Petti socialized with everybody and I'm always so happy when I see my friends bonding with our daughter. Of course she did not leave her little baby friend's sight. We watched the sunset and then the fire pits were put on for extra good vibes. It was a perfect, perfect evening.

(... Until our kid vomited..., but hey-that's life)

Barbecue entre amis

 Last Friday we invited our friends over for a bbq, but of course, as always in Belgium, the weather came in between us and a pleasant evening in the garden. However, my man, is not a quitter, so he barbecued our meat anyway under the parasol, while the rain was pouring. We had to move the dinner inside, but it was a happy evening anyway, with good company and 2 little princesses.
