Food Bloggers Spring BBQ

“I have the house to myself. I propose lots and lots of food” These are the magical words that Karen has uttered which will ensure that all food bloggers will spend the days leading up to the shindig to plan (and in some cases draw) and cook up a storm. So I know there will prolly be several posts floating around about the bbq so I’ll be keeping mine short and sweet and focusing more on the humans. I like humans!


Heh heh food bloggers!


I thought for once I wouldn’t bring any food and instead I brought a watermelon… But not just ANY watermelon… Check out that tap… That’s right folks it’s a watermelon keg!

Post will go up on Wed on how I made it. Basically cut a hole on the top of the watermelon big enough to fit your arm in and scrape out the watermelon. Cut a hole on the bottom and squish in your plastic tap (bought from Bunnings) and screw on the plastic washer inside and while making sure the tap is closed pour in your choice of beverages. I had strained the watermelon juice and also used a bottle of passionfruit soda, and a bottle of moscato. Pouring all 3 together means you can be lazy and not have to pre mix the drink.


Tadah! ‘Punch’ on tap!


Cameras waiting for some food porn action


Lex re-enacting Wolverine with his massive crab


Frenzy!


Is this not the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? Dripping in butter and oh so delicious, the only sounds heard are the cracking of crab shells and the cries as we reached the bottom of the bowl all too soon.


Uncle Billy has set up temporary bbq’s and is grilling his satay with ease. Like vultures we crowd around him as he pulls off the cooked satay from the grills so we can slather them with his homemade peanut sauce.


Karen’s other half Shaun, is hard at work grilling her homemade Bakkwa on their brand spanking new bbq
