BBQ At Ken's

Last time I mentioned that today we, K plus the kids and me, would go to Ken's house for a BBQ. He bought this new bbq set, worth $28, and he wanted to test it out. I, for once was happy in the event that we were going somewhere other than Gram's place. It was a good opportunity for me to pack some pounds. The kids were also excited about going there, as they prepared pretty early to go. The invitation was 11am and so we did leave on that time.

When we reached there, we were greeted by Ken himself since everybody else in the house were still asleep. I was really at first nervous about our intrusion because apparently Ken's wife didn't want to be disturbed since she had the door locked. We knew this because her sister came down asking Ken where was his wife. She asked did his wife lock herself in the grand bedroom because the door there was locked and apparently everywhere else there was no sight of her. In hearing this, we assumed she was inside there. I took this as a sign that she didn't want us to be there. That was the reason for her trying to evade our presence. But Ken was kind enough to kick start the bbq without his wife which had made the scene, at least for me, a little less awkward.

The new bbq set was indeed reflected by its price. It looked small in size. Ken, on the other hand, was really enthused by his new 'toy' because he kept boasting about the tiny equipment can feed at grown people. I, for some reason, didn't see it his way. If it was to feed that many people, we would have to allow 10 years for it to cook completely for everyone. Of course, I didn't rebutt to his boast.

It took Ken 1 1/2 hour to get the fire going. He placed cahrcoal onto the bbq and set fire to it outside in the backyard. But because of the wind and some other factors, the fire wasn't burning. The fire did, however, eventuate the proceeding to the cooking of the meats. There was so much meats, ranging from chicken, lamb to meat on stick. Ken's wife had made her specialty dish which was tossed pastor and potatoes as well. After awhile everything was done cooking and we consumed the feast. Ken and his wife's siblings were present also, in which the foods were being eaten up in a rapid speed. But two, we rested for some time, eventually resorted to the inside. Cleaning and some chattering occurred consequently, and we then returned home at the click of three o'clock.

I did enjoy today. The foods were great, and for most parts of it, it was out of the ordinary. It was a good spice-up after this week's haunt.
