Some of you might wonder when I would put the first pictures of our new place up. Well, here they are. In fact they are pictures of our first trial barbecue on our terrace for some trusted friends. The trial run was quite successful and calls for a repeat. Here are some pictures of the event.
First came the prawns
But I also did beef
I also roasted a big piece of pork but it went so fast that I had no chance to take a picture of it.
The chefs
I always drink a ot of beer while behind the grill. Charlotte does not drink (yet).
The little carnivores need to be fed first
Then came the adults
A very modest portion
The vegetables I prepared in a wok which I put on top of my Weber.
The girls had baked a cake: Frankfurter Kranz
As usual, nobody wanted to go home
Beautiful message to us by Giuseppe and Lucjia
As always when I do barbecues I have no time to take care of the pictures. I fact I did not take any of the many side dishes, the salads, the vegetables and the carbohydrates. But we had a jolly good time, that’s confirmed.
I could also not keep track of the wines consumed during the event. Everybody brought some bottles. I restrict myself to one white and one red (I found the empty bottles after everybody had left).
The ‘2009 Taylor’s Sauvignon Blanc’ from the Adelaide Hills in South Australia is a beautiful refreshing wine at a hot summers day. Since we have always “hot summers days” in the tropics it can be enjoyed year round in Bangkok. Hurrah.
The ‘2009 Rosso Conero’ by Fazi Battaglia is an inexpensive mass-produced red from Marche, Italy. It is a blend of Montepulciano (85%) and Sangiovese (15%) for easy drinking.
The wine company is already more than 60 years old and has about 280 ha under vines in the Marche wine region of Italy. In the meantime Fazi Battaglia has bought up smaller vineyards and wineries in Toscana, one is Fassati with 80 ha and the other Greto delle Fate with 11 ha under vines.
The Man from Mosel River 
It was a pleasure to be part of it.
We should meet as soon as possible.
Ciao bello!
