We had a lovely evening yesterday that combined a couple of my favourite things – food and music – in time spent with friends. Given the good weather we decided to have a BBQ and invite a few people to join us.

On the food side, I was excited to try sous vide burgers. I’ve had this in mind since I saw that article a few days ago and the result was good. Since we had some children coming round I kept the temperature fairly high but I’d like to give it another go soon leaving them a bit pinker inside.

We also got the ukes out. Well, more technically, there were a couple of ukes, a mandolin and I brought my double bass down for the party. It was ragged in parts (especially when the light faded too much outside to see the chord sheets!) but fun.

Food and music with friends; a great summer evening.
