I have cold beer & steaks...who's up for a BBQ?
 

Consider this my cyber BBQ.
It's a hot sunny day and I'm having a poolside BBQ party.....okay so I don't have a pool in real life but let the girl dream :D

Got lots of food.....tons of cold wobbly pops on ice......hot tub's cranked up for later on......who's coming over?

Mind if I throw a couple of Copper River Salmon filets on the grill?

Mind if I bring a couple strippers for some entertainment?

Ah! Guests!

richeee ~ feel free buddy - my house is your house, grab a cold one and relax

munku ~ sure, the more the merrier...as long as nobody pees in my pool :D

I'll bring the shrimp!

Thank, Minx! What kind of beer?
:)

I'm coming and bringing the smoked sausages and margaritas! No party is complete without a stomach full of angry Mexicans. ;)

richeee ~ hmmm I've got a tub of the usual over here....Bud, Coors, LGD, oh...and Kokanee....poke through you'll find something. And the imports are over there - Heinekin, some Moretti, Corona, Henry Weinhart's. If you're craving the hard stuff you'll have to go inside to the bar there.

Thraeryn ~ cool! Don't have my blender going yet so bring on the margs!

Puts out various appies....crab stuffed mushrooms, yakitori skewers, some fresh fruit and veggie platters....checks the chili cheddar dip.

Minx, isn't Bud/Coors/MGD considered "imported" in Your neck of the woods?
I'll take a Kokanee, please!
Nice spread, by the way, and thanks for the hospitality.
Can I help You do anything?

Sounds good to me! I'll accept the invite, if'n you don't mind. I'll even help clean up, fix up stuff...whatever. Thanks!

lol no actually we have our own Molsons & Labatts breweries up here so for us it's domestic! See...we aren't that different :D
Be a sweetie and pour me a gin & tonic please? Bar's just inside the doors....thanks! :)

Thanks for coming GEI...help yourself to whatever pleases you.
HEY.... we need tunes! Damn, forgot that. Any requests people?

Minx, here's Your Sapphire and Tonic, beautiful!
Such a nice place. Let's play that "Summertime" mix CD you have...

Ahh thank you! Cheers! *clink
Great idea on the cd....soon the sounds of Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" drift on the patio.

i'm over on the best....ummm i mean....west coast of you, so a quick trip through the praires would be kinda nice.

i brought some coors light and a few pounds of bison burgers.

dig in.....woooohooooo

*lights a fat B.C. bomb and passes it to the left*

Excellent! I was wondering if you would show up!
And heck - prairies are beautiful at this time of the year! :p
But wait....where's the Sleeman's?????? Sheesh!

c{_} c{_} c{_} c{_} c{_} c{_} c{_} c{_} c{_}

mmmm, beer.

me and cleopatra will be coming. mmmhmmmm. that rawks all get out.

did someone say Margaritas??

i'm there... :D

i'll cook...

uncle phil is always cookin'!
About time to flip those C.R.Salmon steaks over, don't you think?
Thanks, unclephil!

*Sly starts singing "Hot Fun In The Summertime"*

Howdy, mind if I join in?? I thought I'd bring some merlot and pinot noir from my neck of the wine country.

I can even bring a big batch of homemade potato salad.

Then I think we may need to hand-crack the ice cream freezer.

What do you think?

~ handing Springrain a nicely salted Marg

Beautiful....a cook! Here's your apron and frosty one Uncle Phil, thanks for helping out!

Ohhh a pinot noir....from the Napa or Sonoma valley G Whiz? Always love to try a new wine out! Make yourself at home! :D

sorry sweetie.....must have been the jay.

lots 'o sleaman's on there way as well.:D

I'll bring a heap of cask wine. It's cheap, it's nasty, but it's all they make around here and it'll get ya around the racetrack...

Maybe i could get some bottles of Grange duty-free on the way over... mightn't go with the Salmon though

Well thanks for coming meridae'n but I think we'll stick to a nice Okanagan Reisling or Pinot Auxerrois for the fish! :)
Stay as long as you like - just don't pass out in the pool...bad karma!

Minx, this is an awesome idea. I'll bring my famous potato salad, and lots of it. Looks like there will be a ton of people here. :-)

*Bob Marley "Sun Is Shining" on Minx's stereo...*
This is a fantastic BBQ, Minx!
Another gin tonic?

Yes please and don't forget another Kokanee for yourself. ;)

hmmm, wonder how the foods holding out! Ah, saved by Peetster and the world famous potato salad...thanks!

Now, Minx... It will be a Sonoma County wine. You don't want stuff from that 4-letter county. Maybe a little Ravenswood or a Kunde. Hell, I might just bring out some Korbel Champagne, straight from the winery.

How about we throw a little Rocky the Range Chicken on the barby.

ohhhh please! I visited Korbel years ago...still one of my favorite places.
Let's save the bubbly for the hot tub ;)

i'll bring some Maryland Crabs...mmmm
and Becks 22s so good

mac, don't forget the "old bay"...i've got a great recipe for those crabcakes...ooohh, running low on steaks here, wher's the back-up supply, minx?

Maybe uncle phil won't mind sharing the cooking duties!

i only use charcoal, pj...man, she's going to get burnt...

I brought the croquet set. Got a place for me to set it up Minx?

And Flyman, pass that duchee on the left hand side.

Got tons marinating in the fridge! I'll go grab 'em.....how's your drink holding out? Gotta take care of my chef, don't ya know!

Troublebot you can set that up anywhere there's room....man I hope I don't end up with too many broken windows :p
Hmmmm, is this full contact croquet...can we tackle? :D

I'm in.
Somebody has got to help Uncle Phil with that grill.

glad i'm only a spectator...oh, bourbon and coke please, in the BIG buffalo bills mug...

bender, walks in with a wheeler and a keg of Molsons Canadian.
Hey Minx ! where did you want this ?

GH ~ thank god you're here man....I think we need help with grill big time

*hands Uncle Phil a platter of steaks and his drink (a double, of course) in a frosty Miami Dolphins mug "Sorry, I don't have any Bill's mugs...this will have to do!" :D

bender ~ you're late! :D Put it right in this tub of ice please....what? They out of Kokanee or something? sheesh

Yeah well you see there was a little trouble and....nevermind
consider it done.
I see that the grill is well in hand, and everything is moving along great.
I think that I see a spot in the hot tub with my name on it, if you need me to do anything you know where I'll be.

hrmm its 4am here but from reading this thread i am GETTING HUNGRY!!

i'll bring the beers! :)

Whew! I'm glad I made it! Hey Minx, nice place! Got a mix tape for ya. You can put it on later, after the steaks... it's like a "digestif mix".

Now, you Canadians aren't properly entertaining our American friends. Sure the steaks look good and the music kicks, but let's keep the beer's alcohol content above 8%, shall we? Kokanee? Sleeman's? Please.

I've got all the Unibroue line here: Maudite, Fin du Monde, Trois Pistoles... but who cares about the names? No, no... don't pour that stuff down the drain, it's not wine, it's the good shit from Quebec and the finest ale you'll ever taste! Here Minx, try a Fin du Monde.

Hey, Bob Marley's "Jammin'" just started! Sweet! Also, I brought some ribs and sauce to follow up the steaks. Enjoy!

*ahem, bathing suits are optional at this party :D

mistajon ~ thanks for coming....grab a coolie and enjoy

Hey Bob! Good to see ya! Welcome my friend.....hmmm a Fin du Monde - never tried one, thanks! *starts grooving to Marley
Throw that disc of yours in when this one is over! :)

So whats the deal with drinking in a hot tub ?
Minx if I pass out can you pull me out of the tub.

You can drink all you want...don't worry about passing out - I can always do mouth to mouth.

stay away from my 'ckin' grill, all you wannabe firemen...if i need help, i'll get hold of sandman...now just stand back or you might get well done instead of medium rare...(rant over, back to booze and fun...)

Hey look is that bender pretending to be passed out in the hot tub

Bones...be nice to my chef...he's priceless! :)

hmmmm bender down in the tub...better take care of that :D
