Hoorah! It’s the Australia Day long weekend downunder and it’s time to celebrate anything and everything that’s great about Australia! I am extremely grateful to have been born here – we have so much that we take for granted. When I think of all the things I find fault with as a citizen, I can always think of examples where we would be a lot worse off. So get your fake flag tattoo on, crack a beer (or fizzy Australian made drink of some sort) and get some Australia pride happening!

No matter what shape your BBQ is in, how much gas you have left in the cylinder or whether you have to spend hours cleaning it or trying to start it – you must BBQ something! Personally we love our BBQ and cook everything on it, even some of the vegies. If it was possible to BBQ a salad, I’d probably do that too. Oh and if possible, generate a lot of smoke – it makes the flavoursome smell of the BBQ carry even further!

Yesterday we had prawns, onions, mushrooms, snags and lamb on the barbie – YUMMO! Oh I almost forgot – having a couple of eager, hungry canines around takes care of any leftover meat, not a problem! Although having two over for the day certainly made for WWIII erupting at times between the moggies and the dogs, not to mention the neighbours’ dogs who wanted in on the action as well. *hehe*

So on behalf of myself, the moggies and temporary doggie residents – Happy Australia Day weekend! Hope it’s been a good one, wherever you are!
