Tonight I defied traditional gender roles and for the first time used the BBQ by myself!

Because pouring rain isn’t really conducive to busting out the BBQ, we’d had to carry over last night’s planned meal (BBQ butterflied lamb leg) to today. Don has Japanese class on Monday evenings, so I took a deep breath, assured myself that I’m a grown-up lady who is perfectly capable of working a simple machine and of throwing meat on naked flames – and did so.

And it worked! I was wildly excited by the results which were really quite delicious.

I could totally do this again.
