Smorgasborg of Kinfolk, Friends and BBQs
This summer has overflowed with family reunions ( his not mine) , friends from what seems like another lifetime ( mine and his) and my Eddie's Grill masterpieces.
That man can grill meat like no one's business.
He whips up these delish marinades , and with the help of my handy meat thermometer ( we call it a "probe" ), many a gourmet feast has been enjoyed in this neck of the woods.
I busy myself making the sides , and sometimes the desserts.
He also can build very pretty fires.
I hadn't enjoyed roasted marshmallows since the late 80's sometime.I like 'em brown , never burned.
I've been invited to attend many of his family's assorted reunions so far.One in Alabama , and one just a tad more than an hour away .
He has nice family, and so I have enjoyed meeting all these people.
I am very social if nothing else.
Some of those regional accents were pretty thick, but the food was plentiful and the atmosphere was welcoming.
A few of the friends have come here , some we've gone out to see , and we've made some new connections along the way.
It's all good.
