First Barbecue, 2020

Preparing chicken and cauliflower for the first barbecue of the season.
The cauliflower is cut into "steaks."
It's also the first time we have chosen to eat meat for 3 or 4 weeks.

In the afternoon, Len had baked kaiser rolls.

Cauliflower and chicken on the fire. Both are seasoned with salt
and Simon and Garfunkle Rub -- parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

Just off the grill: chicken and cauliflower, ready to eat.

On the table: wine, chicken, lettuce salad, rolls... delicious!

Last year we were able to barbecue a few times in April, but this year to date it's sometimes been cold, it's sometimes been raining, and it has constantly been made weird by the ongoing pandemic. We are just lucky that the rain hasn't been worse -- around 100 miles from us, in Midland, Michigan, severe floods have created a disaster situation. Every day we realize how lucky we have been so far during all the bad times that are happening in the world today.
