Grilled Salmon

Grilled salmon rubbed with spices before BBQing. Salmon is very rich and a smaller portion may have sufficed. Delicious anyway.

Potatoes and Pineapple Brazilian Style

Maria and the girls join us for a BBQ this evening. Steaks and the usual fare accompanied by a side of Brazilian potato and pea salad and followed by a Brazilian pineapple dessert. Dimitra questionedЧитать далее
Путешественник(Written by Mercina) My Opinion on the dinner served. Well, it was quite lovely, the steaks were nice and tender and the potatoes expertly grilled on the BBQ. The salad was fresh and delicious, nothing like any salad I've had before. The pineapple dessert was a revelation. As a fan of consuming some cool pineapple chunks in the evenings, this dessert was exciting and tasty. A great way to end the meal. Oh, and Poppy's cupcakes were good too I guess.

ПутешественникYou poor diddums! Life is really tough. I really feel sorry for you. My fingers now are down my throat throwing up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ПутешественникYou didn't expect such sarcasm did you dear nephew? Pull yourself together and count your blessings.
ПутешественникCompletely understand the unsavory prospect of going back to work on Tuesday! On the other hand, Auntie Dina is right in that we should count our blessings - lucky to have a decent break...!
