Yesterday when I visited my sister I told her I bought a green egg. I even showed her the video I made not long ago, 'Grilling with Exyle'.
She couldn't really believe her eyes but she sure thought it was cool!
I guess like many people that have known me for a long time it's pretty surprising for them seeing what I'm doing on here. Being so open and comfortable doing it. And truth be told at times I surprise myself.
Vlogging is the most recent thing where I surprised myself. Not in a million years would I have ever thought I would be doing that and yet here I am. Trying new things. And I recently made my 50th vlog.
I feared it at first. Took me hours to just press the record button. It felt like giving a presentation in school. My goodness how I used to fear that. But I did it in the end and I hid that first vlog inside another post. lol.
Now I enjoy making a vlog very much but would never have known that if I didn't get pass the fear.
Makes one think about what else is out there that I fear but might possible love.
Anyway,I have no idea how I got so derailed but I invited my sister, her boyfriend and Sam for a grill session today.
From not seeing Sam in 4 weeks to seeing him twice in a row!
Showing Sam the Green Egg.
As a pre dinner snack I roasted some nuts in a cast-iron pan I bought at Makro.
This is Picanha. The most famous cut in Brasil. Bianca taught me about it. I never heard about this cut before meeting her. Sam keeping an eye on it.
There are many ways to prepare Picanha. I decided to cut steaks and grill them one by one. Here I'm just rendering down the fat.
I love the meat with the fat (which is not chewy but delicious).Served with grilled vegetables and a salad.
The meal was lovely but Sam got tired around 19:30. So he changed into his Pyjama and just sat with me for a couple of minutes before bed.
While Sam was sleeping we were talking about how sad it is to wake him up later when they had to leave. The idea was opted that somewhere in the future he might be able to stay over for the night.
The first time I babysat him alone I feared it but I did it. And it went fine!
I'm fearing him staying here for the night one day! I doubt I'll sleep at all. But I want to do it. I think it would be cool but I want Bianca there for back-up this time. No way I'm doing this alone :)
