TIS THE SEASON!!! The BBQ SEASON! And I couldn't be more excited... because I am now the proud owner of the littlest, cutest camping bbq. Little Red. The Baby-Q. My shiny new toy! Let the grilling begin! And what better time to get the party started than the kick-off of the May long weekend. It just feels right, you know? Also, I've had some burgers taking up valuable space in my freezer for quite some time now, but I've been holding off cooking them until I could get my hands on a BBQ... Because that is the truly the best and perhaps only way I want to cook burgers. Thanks to my awesome brother, he made this gal's grill-dreams come true! I was originally going to BBQ-sit his "big-boy" real BBQ... however it turns out he doesn't require those services anymore and wants his BBQ for himself. Which is entirely fair and understandable. However I was left thinking... "But how will I survive the summer sans-grill?" When I grow up I know I will buy a Big-Girl BBQ... but in the meantime he came up with a brilliant compromise to suit my urgent and immediate needs by gifting me a brand new tiny red camping BBQ that he had no use for! He even dropped it off at my house, with propane to boot! (I thanked him with some Sidewalk Citizen pizza dough). What a guy. I love my bro. And I love my new BBQ! HAPPY DAYS! Naturally I had to make my own burger buns... which I sprinkled with the last little bit of my homemade "Everything" spice blend. But you could sprinkle these buns with just about anything your heart desires or your pantry inspires... herbs, spices, seeds, etc. I also whipped up some of my new favourite ingredient/condiment that I want to put on everything: Pickled red onions!!! They are the bees knees I tell ya! And soooo easy to make. A great use for the rather large half of a red onion that was begging to be utilized in my fridge... A jar of jewel toned magic I tell you!
