BBQ

Last night I cooked dinner and it was a BBQ feast. Along side a fresh garden salad there were grilled capsicum, mushrooms and onions. I cooked an traditional Irish potato dish boxty, sausages, chicken nibblets, chicken wrapped in chicken, and of course the center piece of any BBQ, the steak.

Last nights steak were the soul of the BBQ it was the last piece of meat remaining from the families cows which were butchered just before Christmas last year. In preparation I thought it only right to cook it exquisitely and so it was rubbed with garlic and marinated in red wine and sweet chili sauce. It was BBQ'ed to medium.

The Steak

It isn't something often thought about but after butchering, the marinating, cooking and eating of meat is the only ceremony that cows and other animals are given by humans before they are forgotten to our stomachs.
Other animals give even less ceremony to their dinner.

People and their pets on the other hand are remembered ceremoniously in specific ways after their time of death, most often this includes a burial on a piece of land where they are remembered. Mentally and spiritually they may remain in that place, in reality all living things decompose over time.


This is where I am heading in regards to my final set of images based around time.
