Surprisingly, we don't have barbecues nearly enough since Dubai has the most perfect weather for them. We, in fact, have them less than we used to in England - only about 3 times a year. Much of the barbecues we go to are ones that we are invited to by friends. And, off we went, yesterday.

To be honest, I don't know why we don't do barbecues more. They are just perfect for every occasion. You can eat as much or as little as you want and can pair every taste with a selection of spices, side dishes and salads. 

Yesterday was a 1st birthday party. A first for me and all! 

The food was kept simple, but there's nothing wrong with simple when the flavor is there! The burgers were chunky and homemade grilled on the barbecue and topped with jack cheese. I then added lettuce, tomato and avocado to a sesame seed bun. Then summer berries to finish. 

A dessert that was also on offer was an ice-cream straight from Texas: birthday cake ice-cream! It was, actually, delicious but it wasn't enough on the cake front with my eyes lingering over a Micky Mouse cupcake stand.
