This is a very lovely looking weiner roast. Unfortunately, it is not a picture of our weiner roast because we are not allowed, by law, to have one. The birthday party for our 87 year old father, which has traditionaly been a weiner and marshmallow roast, was instead an indoor meal cooked on a stove. It was a 30C day so it was not that comfortable until later in the evening when the air began to cool and we set up all our fans. We are five siblings and after two of us planned on being there, much to our great surprise, a third one showed up at the last minute after having travelled for four hours to get here. We had a great time with great food and a wonderful Black Forest birthday cake, all prepared by my Busy Lizzy who is only a daughter-in-law to the birthday boy. After all the food and plenty of visiting, there were a few gifts to open and the patriarch left to retreat to the peace and quiet of his own home. He is not used to all the excitement and noise. (Some of his grandkids were having a rowdy game of Krokinole in the other room and he kept asking who was screaming.)
Don't let this get around, but we did defy the authorities by lighting an open fire. Yes, we had real candles with real flame. I don't know how we did it, but somehow managed to not burn the house down or even cause a forest fire. I guess we were just lucky this time.

Sorry I wasn't there bro! Sounds like a deliciously good time was had by all. Thankyou Lis for all your hard work. You are a gem of a daughter-in-law.
