A New Patio and Kaleb's First BBQ

What I thought was going to be a complete DIY/Paitio furniture overhaul turned into a lazy Saturday where we just bought a new patio set and a BBQ for good measure.

It was pretty awesome.

We had to christen our new patio.

Blake made us a yummy dinner on our new toy

Best chicken ever

My only contribution - the Ceaser Salad

Asparagus wrapped in Bacon. Thank you Disney Land's Bengal Barbecue!
From Blake's Soda Stream he got for Father's Day

It was so nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the summer evening! I think my boys had a good time. :D

In case you were wondering how to make your mouth water (don't let its simplicity fool you)

Chicken Recipe:
  • Cut up full chicken
  • Add about 4 cups of vinegar to a bowl 
  • Mix in 1/2 cup to 1 cup of salt until dissolved
  • Place chicken in bowl and let soak for about a minute
  • Remove and place on hot grill
  • Cook about 30 min or until done
  • Eat the best chicken ever 
Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Recipe:
  • Soak your skewers in water so they won’t accidentally catch on fire when you grill them.
  • While they are soaking, cut the asparagus in the chunks about the width of your bacon
  • Wrap some bacon around each chunk, making sure some overlap. The overlap is where you’ll want to skewer through so the bacon doesn’t fall off easily.
  • Put the skewers on your grill and flip occasionally to cook the bacon to crispy golden brown.
    • TIP: Use tongs to pick up the entire skewer so all chunks are turned at the same time, otherwise some chunks may not turn if you simply try to turn the skewer.
You're welcome.
