BBQ to start my weekend

Yesterday we had a big BBQ at our new house. BBQ Japanese style is a little different than BBQ U.S. style. Normally in the U.S. you would BBQ hamburgers, hot dogs, or chicken. J people never BBQ hamburgers or hot dogs, and rarely eat them. They usually BBQ some kind of meat like steak, pork, or chicken and also cook vegetables like carrots, onions, lettuce, or mushrooms, right on the grill. Then everyone stands around the BBQ and eats the food right from the grill using chopsticks-then you dip it into your own bowl of sauce. It was BYOB and a small plate of food for everyone to share-so there was plenty of food!

So good food, nice sunny weather, and when you run out of beer you just walk across the street to the beer vending machines. What more could you want?
