Sunday BBQ

We wanted to start the weekend of 2011 with a bang so we hosted a Sunday BBQ at our house with some relatives.

My mom and I went to 2 groceries to complete our BBQ menu. I drove to Monterey's in Retiro to buy some pork then off to Waltermart in E.Rodriguez to buy chicken and other ingredients.

To make the barbecue's more tasty, we had to marinade them earlier, hence the rush to go to different groceries.

We started grilling at 10:30AM and we were off to a rough start. The first few barbecue sticks had burned sides since we waited too long before flipping it.

The next few batches were better, thanks to my aunt who is an avid fan cooking shows (Hot off the Grill).

The best thing about having a barbecue at home is that you can eat freshly grilled meat while the juice is still in the meat.

Second batch looks better than the first but tastes the same.

Milkfish waiting for its turn to be barbecued.

Even my dog wants in on the action. He was waiting for any food that might have fallen off the grill. Lucky for him, there were quite a lot.

I think our neighbors were green with envy from the smoke emitting from the grill.

Our mouths were watering just from the smell. Nom nom nom nom!

Finally, my cousins arrive in time to eat.

Sleepy Kylie whom I discovered is a big K-POP fan.

My aunt whom I gforgot to take a picture of, who is the official griller.

Yes, we are cousins. We like to take pictures of our food.

This is my plate.

How I wish the weekends could be longer so we can have more time to mingle and enjoy with family and friends. Can the weekday end on a Thursday instead of Friday?
