Actually, I won’t be touching the BBQ. Chris won’t let me. But I can’t wait to eat BBQ food like these chicken skewers (or these Thai fish cake skewers or these lamb souvlaki kebabs!!).
We’ve even splashed out on a new BBQ this year. We have a brilliant Weber kettle one at the moment, but Chris has decided that he needs two BBQs in his life. So our new, massive ‘drumbeque’ version is arriving this week. I guess we’ll be having some BBQ parties this summer!
