Going up North to visit my dad.

in #life7 years ago

I went up to the north of Holland today to visit my dad.

There is a family party tomorrow and I decided to go a day early.

When I arrived my dad was sitting outside reading a book and we had a chat with a coffee.

He told me my aunt and uncle would also come today to stay over for the night.

Therefor we went to the butcher not much later to buy some nice meat I could prepare for all of us for dinner.

Every time I go to this buther I'm surprised about how extremely organised he is :)

Butcher Schell is a little more messy (but way more adventurous).

They also have great meat here though.

It's been a while since I used one of these bbq's (Weber).

It was fun.

It's the type of bbq I used for many many years before I bought a Green Egg.

I went for a combination of briquets and wood to grill the steaks on.

I think they turned out alright!

My aunt made a very nice quinoa salad.

It's a lot of fun here!

The steak looks great @exyle! When we owned a house and I grilled I soaked woodchips in water for about 15 minutes and put them in a small foil packet with a chimney formed at the top. The wood chips smolder produce a lot of smoke due to the water content and infuse the meat with incredible flavor. I learned this method from an old guy from the deep South.

It's time to write your cooking book Exyle!

Man @exyle those steaks look amazing! Have a great time with your family!

Very nice meal for your family Mark @exyle it is tough to get used to going back to the regular BBQ after you are so used to The Green Egg........
