It is time to clean up your grills, put on your shorts and sandels and enjoy the day out barbequing and puffing countless Cigars. Along with my favourite cigars, I like to saver a glass of scotch and just relax. After such a long winter, which seemed to be longer than years past, last weekend was perfect BBQ weather. I was able to finally open all of my windows and air out the house. I don’t smoke inside, it needed airing out anyway. I tuned up my lawn mower because yes, sadly it is that time of year also. The snow is gone and the grass is growing. I don’t mind cutting my grass and keeping the lawn up. There is actually a great satisfaction to a great looking lawn and worth all of the effort. This past weekend, I smoked my favorite cigar and BBQ’d up some ribs and pork steaks. I love to think of myself as the master chef, king of the griddle. There is nothing like lighting those coals and going to town on bounteous meats and veggies. Of course I think of myself as a charcoal man, I like the flavor of the grill. If you use gas, it doesn’t get the smokey flavor that I like and is way overrated. I invited all of my buddies and naturally the other half and youngsters were there. It is a bit to cold to swim yet, but once commemorative day comes around, I will open the pool for the season. My youngsters love swimming and splashing around, also I am known to take a dip with cigar and scotch in hand. Summer is just such a great time to meet up with family and friends and enjoying life they way you want to.
