T-Bone Steak BBQ (by Biggs)

I had to work today so was incredibly happy when I was done and my weekend officially began. I thought I'd celebrate with a BBQ. I'll admit that I was inspired by a late night watching of the "Fire" episode of Mind of a Chef featuring G's man crush Edward Lee last night. What a guy!

G has been observing my habits for over 3 decades now. While we were watching he turned to me and said "You like fire don't you?" Yes, yes I do. And, it's been too long since my last flame (in a non-pyromaniac way). So, time to burn.

Eddie got almost pornographically philosophical (is that a term?) about burnt (it's an ingredient!) tomatoes in the show so I thought I'd give them a crack. You wouldn't think that would be so hard but clearly 30 minutes on the BBQ was not enough. But, I couldn't wait any longer.

This is a classic BBQ combination from our youth - t-bone steaks, grilled tomatoes and chips. Happiness.

In other news, a man shouted at me in the street today. He yelled "Don't cook it in engine oil. Yuck". Sage advice. Sage advice that I took on board  with positive results.

What a welcome flashback - the only difference between this BBQ and the ones from our childhood is that the meat was better quality. From memory the tomatoes were always burned so Ed Lee is not breaking any ground there.
