Day 4 - BBQ/Slacklining Party

Mega: When Low asked if I'd want to go to a BBQ over at a friend's place, I said (being the awesome gf that I am) "Of course!" Then quickly followed up with "what are we going to eat?" My friend, Melmel, suggested lamb and carrot kabobs on our way to work. I said, "No carrots. Don't want my vision to go all x-ray." Last thing I need in my life is seeing the people around me in a whole new light. To put more emphasis...the very last thing. ---shivers---

Anywho, Low pulled some salmon out of the freezer and we (he) BBQed them up along with some zucchini. Tasty! And then we had a plum for desert. The downside to the plum is that we washed them off outside and the faucet area smelled like cat pee. Not quite the aroma you want before biting into a juicy plum.

Point of today, you can to go a BBQ/slacklining party and maintain your diet. Just be aware that the scents of roasting sausages, potato chips, and m&m's (Low: guaranteed that after being on this diet for 4 days, you too will be able to smell m&m's) will test your resolve. It's a good thing Low was there to support.

P.S. I really hope we don't get something from using that faucet.... Must remember not to listen to Low regarding washing off fruit unless it is in a safe area like a kitchen.

Low: Just noticing that the title of this post is BBQ/Slacklining and we haven't said anything about the slacklining. All the boys got on the line trying to win Mega's affection by impressing her with their balancing prowess. I wasn't the best, but Mega overlooks those minor imperfections and accepts me for the gangly tight rope walker that I am.

Actually, the slackline was fun, but we didn't have actual trees to use as anchors so we used saw horses and any metal pipes that we could find to stick into the ground to act as anchors. I bought some aluminum anchors from Harbor Freight, and they worked really well for the first 10 minutes until they started to bend and pull out. That's what you get from trying to save a buck by buying from Harbor Freight.

Low out.
