Barbecue Season
(Heather’s Bytes is on Facebook now! Took me long enough, huh?)
As you can see, it was a warm weekend in Las Vegas! We decided it was time to hose off the patio chairs and fire up the grill. Though we can really do it throughout the year, barbecuing doesn’t seem quite right to do any time other than the warmer months.
Not wanting to turn on the oven when it’s 115° outside may also have something to do with it.
We don’t really do anything terribly special when we barbecue. Yesterday we just did chicken breasts with barbecue sauce, corn on the cob and baked beans.
Mike got to use the barbecuing apron my sister gave him for his birthday in January. You can take the boy out of California…
The dogs love it when we come outside with them!
And of course, now that it’s not too “cold” (because that classification is relative in this house) and not too hot, the twins were happy to be outside, too. These two boogers are turning 12 next week!
The teenager, as usual, wanted nothing to do with the camera and I couldn’t work in a sneak attack. Maybe next week.
When do you start barbecuing?
WOW… you really won’t BBQ all year round??? We sure do, but we have a gas grill so maybe the convenience is part of why it is a more regularly used “kitchen” appliance. I will grill chicken any time of year, as long as it’s not pouring rain outside. Back in the day when I worked from home, I was known to fire up the grill just to cook myself a hot dog for lunch.

Oh we do! It just doesn’t feel as “right” as it does in the summer, haha! 😀 Nothing beats the grill for hamburgers, steak, and of course, chicken!

Fun! We would grill all the time if we actually had a grill. Lol. We’ll visit others though!

Yeah, I should have clarified a bit better that we do grill year-round, but definitely more often in the summer! It always feels like it needs an official kick-off, so this weekend was it 😀
We picked up a little table top one at the grocery store a couple of years ago for around $20, if you’re in the market for one!

Looks like a fun time. Can’t wait till I can grill here in Chicago.

I’m not a *huge* fan of summer (I know, I know), but grilling is definitely my favorite part of it!
