Added some burgers, both beef and veggie, to the grill...
Burger please, no tomato sauce
Beef or veggie?
And an old speckled hen
Besides the standard Hen we have Crafty and Hoppy!
I like Hoppy don't see it very often
Not keen on hoppy
Oooh, nice! I brought sweet corn wrapped for the barbie, should be ready to enjoy in about 45 minutes.
(Shuck then slather unsalted butter the ear, wrap tightly in tin foil - put on the far edges of the BBQ turning occasionally with BBQ tongs during the 30-60 minute roasting time, time depends on size of ear)
Oh here, I also brought my extra long BBQ turner and tongs.
Why, thank you...
I thought that said Thongs way hey lets go
Lol - but, er, no. Not even when I could have back in the day.
Ooer lovely, can't beat sweetcorn on the barbie, especially if you've grown the sweetcorn yourself ๐
Sadly my location precludes home-grown sweet corn. I tried the first year I was home from America - lesson taken to heart and now I buy from the supermarket (grown in Spain). sigh
I'll gift you some of my home grown sweet corn ๐ฝ when we harvest it if you'll gift me some thistly cider, I fell in love with the stuff when I was in Edinburgh last year. โบ
Deal!
Here I come
May I have a burger please. And my contribution is my special potato salad - half fat free yogurt, half mayo for health!!
And is there any cider๐บ
Cider will be on later is it Pop (Woodpecker ) or Scrumpy you would like
MichaelJHHeart Star
Here's some music!
Michael I have been in every state in the video used to live in Mississippi
I'm not sure if that video is disturbing or scary!!
I find it disturbing - they missed out Alabama!
If you ever find yourself in the American Deep South, make your way to SouthEast Alabama Houston-Dale counties and look for a BBQ joint called Larry's.
If you want to sample World's Finest Southern BBQ, head for Larry's and be sure to bring home at least one bottle of their sauce.
Only ever drank Scrumpy on what we called a Blank Week paid fortnightly in the RN
Stay Safe
Stay Well
Oooh. Looking nice. Iโll have a beefburger please.
Whatโs the difference between Abu Dhabi and Dubai?
In Dubai they donโt like the Flintstones but the people in Abu Dhabi doooo!
There you are!
Lovely. Is Prada on the staff now? Have I been barred??? ๐๐๐
He's our guest bouncer! That's why he is in uniform! Sailor๐ข
I'll sneak you in when he's not looking, just keep the jokes a bit quiet ๐คซ
God is there enough cheese of that burger, starboard side. Iโll have that ๐
We have Cheddar or Stilton or both!

You don't like cheese?
No, my dislike of cheese is actually more of a phobia, I can't even bear to look at it and the smell....... ๐คฎ
If I came up behind you and shouted Halloumi what would happen?
โข in reply toLezzers
You must be the only person in the world who doesnโt like cheese ๐ง
Lezzers is special ๐
Lezzersโข in reply to
Nope, I know of one other person who doesn't like it either, though not to the extent that I dislike it!
โข in reply toLezzers
Tbh, I never use to like cheese. But, by the same token, I felt a cold emptiness in my life. Then I found halloumi, feta, Parmesan, ricotta, cheddar, Red Leicester, baby bells. I now consider them family.
Just to be clear though Iโm not into those weird cheeseโs that smell like feet ๐ฆถ
Lezzersโข in reply to
๐คฎ ๐คฎ ๐คฎ They all smell like feet, just some feet are smellier than others! And that cold emptiness in your life could have been filled by turning the heating on! ๐

Sorry I am late.
It took me ages to clean my hands and finger nails.
I was planting my strawberry runners.
Please can I have a lamb burger with cheese, salad and most importantly don't forget the gerkins .
A pint of Adnams Ghost ship as well
Thanks

We have been donated some Bockwurst so I will pop them up now. I am getting warm - time for Aspall's Dry... (mops brow)
Any thistly cider available tonight?
(Insert shocked emoji here) No wonder you enjoyed it - the full name is Thistly Cross Whisky Cask Cider!! (how come my husband never told me about this nectar of the gods?!)
I have GOT to give that a go soon as, thank-you for the tip, Lezzers!
๐ I had no idea of its full name, though after I couple I probably didn't care and, even more likely, I probably couldn't say it! Definitely try it, it's really refreshing and delicious. It's Scotlands 'own' nectar of the gods.
As that was such a good burger I am contributing a case of hobgoblin
Has something happened to the forum or are people hiding from me (I'm not that scary am I?? ๐) the notifications are coming through with the posters name shown as hidden?? The culprits are milkfairy, prada, boo_hoo1 plus a few others but I'm quite happy if the others hidden! ๐
Same here everyone is hiding from me too?
I didn't know we were playing virtual hide and seek?
Ooer, it's a game then. When are we playing pass the parcel? though we as we need to be 2 mtrs apart so it'll be more a case of throw the parcel! Please try not to throw it at my head though ๐
A friend got thrown out of Tesco for playing "hide and seek*. Mind you he was 24!๐คฃ
What was he hiding?
Far be it for me to complain but.......im still waiting!!
No l will have to get some in. Is Aspall's OK?
MichaelJHHeart Star
Count down to the Queen!
MilkfairyHeart Star
Is there a Toastmaster in the house?
MichaelJHHeart Star
I have posted the Queen's Speech!
MichaelJHHeart Star
Last orders please!
Another thistly please
Go on. Iโll have a thistly too. Sounds very nice.
Hey, the thistly is in short supply, wasn't you barred earlier??
Hmmm. Wasnโt me Guv. That other NorthantsSteve does a good impression. Just his jokes are very bad!
๐ค I'm not sure so!! PRADA, WE'VE GOT A GATECRASHER, QUICK, HE'S AFTER THE THISTLY!! ๐
Sorry, got carried away with my role playing there ๐ ๐
๐๐Sounds like we hit a raw spot there๐๐
Lezzers is a method actor!
๐ค ๐
Here you go but don't tell anyone! There are some about who would happily report me.!
Sorry missed the gathering was busy with FaceTime ( family) messenger video chats - friends and mea culpa old Poirot episode
Oh yum, beetroot and carrot burgers for me, with sauerkraut please.
Sounds like you had a lot of fun! 
I'd have come over, but the walk would have taken me past the 1 hour recommended exercise time and carrying a crate of ale would certainly have slowed me down. Maybe another time when motoring is allowed. ๐
Hope you had a lovely time, Michael
No wonder You all have heart disease ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐
Hey, not fair, itโs cold here in Oz and dark since daylight saving finished on Sunday. Hope you all enjoy though.
How cold - our warm yesterday was 20C.That's chilly in Alice!
โข in reply toMichaelJH
Starting to drop in Canberra, with wind chill feels like 11-12c some days, others getting up to 19-20. Usually start to have zero mornings around Anzac Day. Really admire what you are doing to lift peoples spirits.
Hope you enjoyed your barbecue, sorry as I am shielding for 12wks so I couldnโt make it.
I did call the police about all the noise and smell though, but they said it was okay as they were all there too along with the chief constable, prime minister, his girlfriend, the health minister was there too, even the Queen popped in for a glass of water and a well done frankfurter. Well, at least you had a good time under the circumstances!
Any chance you could put together a birthday party for me on Easter Sunday ๐my children are buying me a hairdryer to Blow The Candles out ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ
I would think we could incorporate it with the Easter Afternoon Tea. You could also add yourself to the birthday thread:
healthunlocked.com/bhf/post... e-birthday-thread
Despite 17, 000 members few are adding themselves.
How come I miss all these invitations and don't see them until the next day? I hope the virtual BBQ went well. Now, what's this Easter tea you've mentioned above....
