Backyard Barbecue
Posted by Belle on 03 Jun 2007 at 01:34 pm | Tagged as: backyard, family
This afternoon, we spent some time in the backporch. I normally just eat baby coconut and some rice for dinner, but today, I thought of barbecuing the leftover chicken from Lexie’s graduation party before it gets spoiled. One more day and the chicken would have been a goner.
It was nice out. The weather was just perfect. My husband enjoyed reading books while I was fixing dinner. The hummingbirds were as usual busy buzzing around and chasing each other. Beautiful sight to behold on such a beautiful day like this.
My husband got rid of the old hammock by the Juniper tree even with Lexie’s resistance. He thought it was ugly and old. I was a little sad to see it go. Then an hour later, he came back with a newer kind that he found in Home Depot. Lexie was happy, of course, and helped his dad carry it to the back porch. I prefer to spread it outside by the tree but he thinks it is better if it stays under the cover.
mukhang masarap ang chix bbq ah? Oh, I could use a hammock these days
Very nice!!
Wow, Belle…this looks so nice. I remember doing something like that at a colleague’s place in UK some years back and it was just great cos the weather was lovely. Cool but not cold.
First of all, congratulations on the new site. I just love the warm earth colours and I think it suits you. Because I think you are a very down to earth person.
Your chicken barbecue looks oh so good. You have a very nice deck, and spacious too. I would love to read my books on that hammock, ha.
Btw, thank you so much for your input in my post about Reggie wanting a new flute. I appreciate it a lot.
Nice new (blog)home! That hammock looks so inviting.
Ang sarap naman mag hang out sa backporch mo. It’s beautiful. You have a beautiful home!
And wow, the bbq… nakakagutom
Btw, I tagged you to play the “6 weird things” meme. It’s fun, hope you can play along.
Uyy may duyan kayo, hahaha that’s cute. And everytime I see a red-checkered table cloth like that, I easily recognized it as “the americans”. Sarap ng BBQ ah?
Hello Tita Belle! ang ganda naman dyan sa inyo! pwedeng patambay sa hammock nyo?
Have a happy Birthday!
You really have a big and wonderful heart.
Kisses and warm hugs from ate Princess and sean! mwah!!!
Nice new home, Belle! Congrats! You are so lucky someone gifted you with this…
Ang sarap naman! I would love to have a hammock but it will not make any sense for me to own one, there’s no space.
I can just imagine how lovely your weekend was what with your view & all.
Wow! What an inviting back porch Ate Belle. We should form: “The Hammock Club” hehehe. We had chicken bbq and asparagus this weekend too
. I use the adobo sauce(garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and pepper) for the marinade and it works so well!
the chickenQ! sarap!!!
at ang duyan… napaka-inviting!
hehehe…hammock under the cover….how cute! You can use them even in winter time!
That BBQ looks good! That hammock sure looks inviting. It must be one of your favorite spots in your house.
The back porch is probably one your family’s favorite place. Here you can relax and enjoy each other’s company. Very Nice.
Oh, I love your life Belle! Sitting on your porch looking at your garden, barbequing those awesome chicken, and spending time with your loved ones… wow!
fe, it tasted good as it looked. i actually like this hammock because it is nice and smooth but it can only take one person at a time.
sesame, that is the kind of weather we have here this time of year. we don’t even need airconditioning right now. i enjoy doing this when i have the time.
chats, thanks. it is just a simple home that my husband designed. i know, everytime i look at the bbq chicken, i drool. thanks for the meme…will do it soon.
niceheart, thanks. i am actually enjoy lying on the hammock just watching the hummingbirds chased each other…so relaxing! with regards to my input, i am sorry if i sounded a little pushy. i got carried away..
linnor, i appreciate your visit. thanks.
k, so the checkered red table cloth reminds you of America? interesting concept! the chicken tasted really good!
dimpz, thanks for the greetings! i had a little celebration with my family! received flowers from my hubby! that is all i ever wanted..simple and quiet. thanks for kisses and hugs from Princess and Sean. and you can come by anytime you want to avail of my hammock.
rhodora, thanks! thanks to the kind-hearted fellow, his gift for life! am so blessed!
auee, it is always good to hang out in my back porch, better than the front porch because of the birds and the garden as source of entertainment.
kk, yes, we should have a “hammock club.” wow, we kind of think alike in terms of food. i haven’t tried the adobo sauce for barbecue sauce…will try it one of these days.
dangkin, thanks…duyan is a good place to unwind for me after a hard day’s work.
Elyani, that is the idea, to be able to use the hammock regardless of weather.
Rach, you guessed it right..porch is my favorite place to hang out during summer.
Julie, yup! we stay out in the back porch until it gets too cold for us.
Toe, sinabi mo! i wish everyday is always a vacation. work sucks sometimes.
