New aquaintance

We moved into our flat last year in April and so did all our neighbours because the house was just newly finished. Last summer one of our neighbours had the idea to organise a grill party to get to know each other. It was lots of fun although out of eight flats only three were taking part. We though we had such a good time that we decided to throw a party this year too. This time me and Hubby were the oranizers in charge. The weather was perfect...we didn't have to sit in the garage like last year but instead got to enjoy the lovely sun shine. There were also more people taking part than the prevous year. We brought the grill, meat, plates etc. and the others brought apero, drinks, salads and desserts. And we had fun time! Now already talking about a fondue party in winter...
So what is the purpose of this little story. Well, it serves as an introduction for the following photos:

As I mentioned, we provided the meat for the party: chicken, spareribs and different sausages. We had some left over so what to do with it the next day? Left-over sandwiches of course! We had a Las Vegas-marathon with some super saucy spare rib and chicken sandwiches.

We also learned to know someone new. Our neighbours, who come from Bayern Germany, brought a really tasty digestive to the party: Penninger Blutwurz. This herb liqueur is some serious heavy stuff with 50 % alcohol in it but after a super filling grill party meal it was the perfect thing to have. I took a look at the company's webpage and they seem to have some quite appealing products. I definitive want to give the L'Affaire, rhubarb-vanilla aperitif, a go one day when I can find it somewhere. By the way, I wonder if the blog has to be an over 18 thing because of all this alcohol?
