2009 4th of July BBQ

Just like all previous years, we always have a BBQ at Dr. P's mom's house on 4th of July. But this year, Dr. P's brother, Henry, brought his girlfriend http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com for the first time. Since she is a vegetarian, we cooked less meat and more seafood & vegetables this year.



My dad went fishing the day before and he prepared a few for me to bring to the BBQ.  Since the fish was so fresh, it really didn't need any seasoning besides salt and pepper.  We just grilled it and it tasted sweet and delicious.




Simple grilled shrimp with paprika.



Fresh salad with cucumber and tomato.



Cold cucumber marinated with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and garlic.



Oyster mushroom with butter and garlic, along with asparagus with Parmesan cheese.



Grilled eggplants with herbs.



Zucchini with garlic and basil.



Gotta have some kalbi though.



Pear, cheery, and blueberry.



The feast!  Somehow I always end up cooking way too much food.  I think I did it again this time.  Too much food for 5 people?



Henry's girlfriend brought a mango mousse cake from Porto's Bakery.  Yum!



Yah!  Happy 4th of July.  Wait... it's August already?

  1. wow, what a BBQ!! Everything look so yummy! When we had BBQ, we could never put all the food on the table and serve as a dinner. We usually cook & eat at the same time!! This is so impressive :D

    Ideally I would like to cook and eat at the same time as well.
    But Dr. P's brother's girlfriend came late so we set the table and waited for her.
