welcoming 2010 with BBQ!!!!

It's 2010!!!!! Woke up with a slight hangover because slept late after Watchnight Service. Jet came for a sleepover. Uncle Hoe came before 10am to send him home. I didn't allow him to disturb the kids who were still sleeping. Then suddenly a brilliant idea came; why not have a bbq since all of them missed our Christmas bbq. A few phone calls and that was it....

KC and I rushed off to Jusco to pick the stuff needed for the bbq. By 4pm, we were all ready and started working on the dinner.



The boys; as usual in charge of preparing and cooking the food.


Dan was taking care of the sweet potatoes and yam while Jet supervised.


Take turns; Dan had a wet cloth over his nose...to smelly/smoky???


We tried a different type of fish today ... salmon in bbq sauce. Really good. Not too dry; juicy with the sauce.


New Zealand mussels. Marinade them in a little salt and lots of chilly powder. Really good....a little pedas because of the chilly powder. Almost everybody enjoyed this. It is a must for the next bbq.

The usual; sausage, baked potatoes, bread and we added corn. The corn was fantastic. Real sweet. I loved it. Will do it again.

After the bbq, the old folks sat around and chatted a bit. Don't know what history ma was digging up for MIL.

The bookwork continued worming into her book.

The computer addicts continued their computer games.

It was a great bbq. Gets better and better. We decided that we will have bbq again for CNY eve dinner. So easy. On top of it; it is real healthy to cook food this way; cooked with minimum oil.

I have already planned my CNY eve menu. Looking forward to another great BBQ and of course a better year.
