BBQ

We had a bbq 2 weeks ago and we invited some friends over... That was our first bbq since i moved here in Norway 18 months ago. Actually we have a small building a few meters from the house. Hubby called this building a "summer house" Basicly its a bbq area with roof (which is perfect for me so i can be in the shade when its hot hehe) but now we use it as a wood store :-(.

Because its not convenience using the bbq in the summer house, hubby decided to make his own "yardie" bbq. It was a stainless steel watertank cut in to two halves and topped off with a stainless steel shelf (grill top). im not kidding you! :D..

Terry, hubby's friend marinated the chicken with pepper, salt and garlic powder. After he put the chicken, onion and paprika on the skewers he made bbq sauce from tomato ketchup, honey, brown sugar, sambal oelek (chili paste) and lemon juice. While hes making bbq sauce he asked me to make nasi goreng or fried rice without chili... what!! nasi goreng without chili !?!?! for me thats not a nasi goreng :D.. but i had to make that fake nasi goreng :p because most of our friends dont eat spicy food.


Overall..it was a nice bbq. We had a fantastic sunny day, great food and company.
