Grilling Girl

I went and bought our wedding present from Angus and Frances - a BBQ or rather 'grill' as they are known here. It is amazingly smart and cooks pretty good too on my first attempt :)

It is nothing but the best - Weber, and although it is charcoal it has a propane gas starter that means it is quick to light the charcoal and then you have to wait for the charcoal to heat up, anything between 20-30 minutes. Then you cook:) While waiting for it to get up for temperature I went for a swim - just the life.
I got the impression that when I bought it in Home Depot (essentially B&Q) they don't normally sell them. I got lots of oohs and ahhs! I had two men that kindly pushed it around the shop as I did the rest of my shopping! I then to pay and tried to use my UK credit card! well I was at the till for about 20 minutes as it need authorised. I ended up speaking to a guy in the UK who said my card hard fraud watch on it! I think it is because I have been using in the States and the UK recently. Need to sort that before I try and buy anything else with it.

Anyhow I got the BBQ and asked the neighbour if he would help me get it out of the car. He lifted it out by himself kindly. So I set it up and read the handbook, then went out for meat.
I had a great burger and I cant wait to cook another meal on it:) What do you think of a girl in charge of BBQ - wrong isn't it.

I never quite managed my cycle this morning as I could not get myself out of bed early enough so I will have to try tomorrow morning - I need to do some exercise if not least to work off my huge burger.
