Charcoal Challenge

Those lovely people at MoneySupermarket.com gave me £50 to host a barbecue. Here are some photos from last night’s splendid gathering. We had invited members of our church worship team and their families. Not everyone could be there- but about two dozen of us had a good time and the weather was great.
Menu – all provided within the £50 budget
First course
  • pulled pork in bread rolls
  • rainbow vegetable kebabs
  • bbq baby corn
  • green salad
  • assorted dressings
Desserts
  • home made ice cream [ vanilla, strawberry]
  • Steph’s 4am cookies
  • blackberries
  • melon slices
  • toasted marshmallows
Drinks
  • tropical punch
  • tea
  • coffee
Our guests also brought other drinks, which was kind of them. I will say more about the actual meal preparation and the budget in another post, but here’s some photographs

Then everyone arrived, and after a prayer of thanks, we began eating in earnest!!

And we took things back inside and loaded the dishwasher.
Thankyou to everybody who made our evening so special.
