You don’t have to drink alone.
It’s a three day weekend for North Americans. Originally a holiday for the working class Labor Day is now better known for being the unofficial end of summer. And sales.
In my previously life, BCV, Before Corona Virus, I would most likely have been hosting a party on the patio. The grill would be going, tunes playing, drinks flowing, and dogs happily running around the yard.
This year will be much quieter. Grilled portobellos, and slaw. Maybe I’ll actually get around to making those watermelon margaritas. And I finally found some spiked ice pops at the liquor store so if nothing else I’ll have a boozy popsicle for my sad little celebration.
What, if anything are you doing this year? A Covid be damned trip to the beach, BBQ with the family, patio drinks at a local cafe? Or shopping online while obsessively watching the news? Not that I’d know anything about that. Whatever you’re doing be safe and enjoy yourself. That goes for all you non North Americans as well.
Gonna be a quiet one here. My wife works at a hospital as a physical therapist, so we avoid get-togethers as a rule right now.
My daughter is coming so that will be nice. Outside of the cashier’s at the grocery store the only people I see are neighbors. And that’s over the fence chatting.
grilled portobellos sounds great 😀
if the weather permits it i think i’ll roll out ole tetanus and likewise grill some shrooms….and chicken….probably sausages too…. havent had a bbq yet this year
anyhoo…ive set my alarm clock for 2 pm tomorow…and im damn well gonna try to sleep till then (im going to fail…but thats beside the point)
We’ll do some chicken too, for later in the week. In going to try grilling the cabbage before chopping it up for sale. Haven’t done it before, but what could go wrong?
lol…i have no idea tbh…never tried grilling cabbage before
welp only one way to find out 🙂
good luck have fun
your mistake was rolling it in. never roll it in. just because it’s january or cold or snow or ice it doesn’t mean you can’t have bbq! 🙂
lol this is true
but ole tetanus is a bit of an eyesore as a garden ornament
red and rusty….(apart from the actual grill…thats shiney…i scrubbed that part up good and store it in the house instead of the shed)
found it abandoned roadside many years ago and its been my trusty little coal bbq ever since
Time to harvest the hops and brew my annual fresh hop ale, Chinookie. I think I’ll pull a Dick Move for happy hour (it is the name of a double IPA by a brewer named Dick at a local brewery) Cheers & have a great weekend.
Enjoy your Dick beer, lol. And you have a good one too.
and since the wife is taking my oldest backpacking for her birthday, I’ll be watching lots of sports!!
I hate to be the grammar Nazi but you misspelled sprots. 😈
That makes me think I may want to grill Brussel sprots this weekend.
I love grilled vegetables, a nice little char, smoky flavor.
Nice, @Loveshaq. I’ve been playing this song a lot lately. I’d rather be backpacking.
I pretty much downloaded everything from these guys I could find. I’m way too out of shape to keep up with them backpacking up a huge mountain.
I hadn’t heard before, it’s great.
Still doing a lot of work in the garden, but also paying a visit to Mrs. Butcher’s oldest and her fiance so we can deliver the massive batch of pesto to them which is taking up too much space in the freezer. It will be a masked and socially distanced visit.
We live in such a weird world anymore, masks and 6′ from family. Who would have ever thought we’d be here. Hope you enjoy the visit in spite of all that.
Only gonna get weirder as the holidays roll around. Mrs. Yellowbird has already stated her case. Prolly gonna be a Zoom Xmas.
Zoom Christmas? Your living the dream my friend. The one advantage of COVID is Zoom Christmas.
