'Tis the season for BBQs... lots and lots of BBQs.
As a vegetarian, there is the general concern that any vegetarian offerings will be chucked on with the meat and that all juices will meld with the nice tofu steaks and bean burgers. Not wanting to defend myself against the general banter that accompanies the voicing of this concern, I tend to stick to cheese and chip sandwhiches and the occasional nibble of an overly mayonaise-y potato salad (note: in the UK, potato salad is literally just potatoes and mayonaise... *gack!).
But! In addition to the UK being generally friendlier to vegetarians and doing moderately less mocking, I have also procured a little pink bucket bbq! Sinéad brought it home for me on Friday in advance of a very bbq-y weekend. It is important to note that because shopping is so crap in Oxford, she schlepped to High Wycomb, just to get me a present! (*gold star for Sinéad)

So we had a little veggie grill for veggie hot dogs on Saturday at Pete and Kate's birthday bbq bash and we took the bbq along to Nat and James' on Sunday for yet ANOTHER bbq (with colleagues) except that I forgot the veggie dogs and ended up eating a high percentage of Helen's grilled haloumi.
Not only that! but this Sunday coming, we'll be using our little pink bucket again (menu as yet undecided). All in all, my little pink bucket bbq is fab and cost effective. Just what anyone could ask for!
