The parrilla is finally put to good work

This was an amazing double rainbow that we saw late Saturday in Punta del Este, from end to end. In seconds it was gone, but we were able to stop the car and take a quick snapshot.

Starting the parrilla. We have a leg of lamb slowly roasting ahead of the rest of the meat.

Barbi wrestles with the parrilla. We still don´t have the appropriate tools.

There was a lot of pressure on Barbi. Some of our most unforgiving friends demanded to know what a Turk was doing in charge of the barbeque, but in the end, they all shut up and enjoyed the results, which of course were aided by elder brother Jorge´s expert advice. Jorge´s sage advice is "Always have tons and tons of coals ready at your disposal. The rest will take care of itself."

And it did.
