blamebramptonMy friends, I announce to you an auspicious moment. We are now proper Australians as my beloved has given me a barbecue!
I have a long post of thanks for undeserved generosities and kindnesses, but am about to sink into a pavlova coma, be back later when I can thank people in a more sophisticated manner than the immortal words of Jeff Fenech: 'I love youse all!'
(Though I do!)
(And now you can all rock around and I can throw shrimps on the barbie! Even though they're prawns, and I have never liked them, and it seems cruel ... barbecue vegie salad?)

Date: 2011-01-31 01:32 am (UTC)"barbecue vegie salad" is most excellent. Longwise slices of any vegetable you like, brushed with your favorite 'oil' (olive, clarified butter, mayonnaise, etc.), grilled to your taste of doneness. Maybe drop dampened sprigs of herbs on the coals for 'smoke' flavorings: rosemary, sage, thyme, anything local you like?
Some favorites: eggplant, large mushrooms (portabella!), zuchini, sweet potato or yam, various 'hard' squashes (e.g. pumpkin).
Mmm, getting hungry here :)
*hugs* Here's to many more natal day celebrations *clink*
