Summer is finally here and the hunt begins for the ultimate home made cider lolly. Cider lollies appear to have been in decline for years now, presumably as health and safety bods think it is wrong to encourage kids to buy alcoholic sounding ice creams? »
A step by step guide to cooking a simple and easy BBQ recipe here in the UK. Oriental BBQ Skewers originated from Australia (despite the name). Maybe the source of the "Throw another shrimp on the bbq" line. A great recipe. »
One of the real downsides of running iLoveMyBBQ.com is having to try all of the drinks that are associated with summer and BBQ’ing and this week is another toughie.

So last weekend was BBQ Season 10, Game 2 and it was another away fixture, this time at Granny BS’s house. On the menu was a great BBQ recipe of Paul Newman BBQ Sauce Marinade with butterflied chicken breasts and some traditional burgers.
