BBQ

It is an indisputable fact that BBQ-ing is one of (if not the) best way to cook food. It is borderline sin to cook certain meats in any other fashion. Having fried a good number of perfectly decent steaks since arriving in Korea, I can speak from experience: a frying pan is not a sirloin's best friend.

So a while back, we bought a charcoal BBQ. Essentially, it's a big metal pan. Then, you buy charcoal and put it in your big metal pan. Light, and voila! BBQ.

Friday was a beautifully sunny day, and we had been seasoning some steaks in the fridge for a few days. We figured it'd be a great day to grill up some beef, and it was. We went behind our apartment building and rustled up supper. Here's some pictures.



The Where: Behind our apartment. Not very pretty, but it makes for a good running around area for the kids and a BBQ-ing area for us. There are no lawnmowers here (as there are no lawns) so a large flat area like this is normally either sandy, overgrown or paved.

The Who: Me, getting the charcoal ready to cook. Most people sit like this here. It's also the position you are in if you use a "squatty potty." Not bad, once you get used to it. The position, I mean. Well, the squatty potties too. More on that later.


The What: Seasoned Australian beef from Costco and cut vegetables with butter & seasonings (including home grown fresh dill). Yum yum yum!


The Dessert: Smores, o'course! We used metal chopsticks, which were perfect for the occasion.

The Fans: These kids watched us make the smores and eat the first bit. Very shy (didn't say a word) but fascinated nonetheless. We made them a round of the sweet sweet treat and took this picture. You can see the smores in their hands.
