While the meat is cooking, won't you join me for a glass of crisp white wine?
We'll watch the palm leaves rustle in the warm evening breeze,
and indulge our senses in the sweet smell of late-blooming jasmine.
I'll mix up one of my favorite summer-time side dishes (I add red onion, olives, and paprika to my macaroni salad for a little kick!).
Add a couple of steamed artichokes from our local Farmer's Market...
...and we have the perfect meal for a hot summer night.
Thank you for joining me for dinner, friends--it was a pleasure to have you over for BBQ, Red Rose Alley style!

That barbecue looks so yummy, Nel. I'm going to ask Dad to barbecue this weekend hehehe.
The jasmine is so pretty, and the palm trees brought back some memories. I'll have a glass of that wine now.
Love,

What a perfect summer meal and a crisp white Pinot Grigio too. Those blue skies look amazing. We have even managed a few barbecues here in England this year - at last a decent summer!

Our favorite on weekends... even some week days as it only gets dark around here at 9.
I'm not a crazy Summer Lover but I sure love a barbecue. And even my daughter who is a seat-at-the-table phobic (and one phobia she seems determined to hold on to ahahahah) - I think she gets distracted - enjoys it.
I guess all that you describe so wonderfully through your pictures appeals to the cavemen and women in us.
Thank you for sharing, Nel!
Ha Sheri..

Mmmmmm..yummy!, I love your summer meal. BBQ is always perfect for summer.
happy summer Nell.
Yum! I cant wait for summer to come. That artichoke blends well with BBQ and white wine. And mac cheese with paprika that something I need to try. Ahhh....summer days.
Enjoy
Your dinner looks delicious! I love pasta salads and all of the variations of it.
great round up.
Thanks for the invite, Nel. I am SO there. :) Yum.
Ooh Nel my mouth is watering reading this post! Totally delicious. My hubbie is veggie and I love a good steak lol. Whenever we eat out the waiters always place the veggie option in front of me and the roast dinners in front of him!
Also like a cheeky pinot grigio. I've been a little addicted to watching Housewives of New York and it reminds me of Ramona :-) x
