Birthday Barbeque



My brother is lucky enough to have his birthday in late May, which is (usually) prime barbeque weather. I am jealous of this.

We headed over to his house today to sit in his garden, drink beer, and eat more grilled meat than you ever thought possible. His wife had taken care of all the accompaniments, so there were four different kinds of salads and various breads as well. See evidence above - there's pasta salad, couscous, potato salad, coleslaw, baguette, and a homemade mini-burger on that plate. Oooh yeah.

B particularly enjoyed the carnivore environment. After declaring himself uncomfortably full after a mammoth cheeseburger in a pitta bread, he nevertheless manned up and demolished a pork chop as well.



Here's my brother's totally amazing birthday cake, homemade by his lovely wife. It was a Swiss roll base, covered in chocolate fingers, and accessorised with chocolate-dipped strawberries and blueberries on top. Have you ever seen anything more delicious-looking?

The detox starts tomorrow.
