We are in the depths of winter when many people hibernate and can’t wait for spring. Others however, are making the most of it by having fun under the sky despite the cold weather. When we have bright sunny days, common in February, and the days are getting longer, why not plan a mid-winter campfire and barbecue.
I had seen quite a few people head out to the lakes for a cookout, even on the coldest day. All it takes to have a comfortable cookout lunch is some nice weather, lots of firewood and plenty of food and drinks.
Any food that you cook on the barbeque during summer can be done in winter as well. Steaks, hot dogs, hamburgers, shishkabobs, you name it, would be perfect fare for your winter cookout. Add salads, potatoes and casseroles and you have a delicious, balanced meal. Top it off with dessert: cake, mousse or whatever, you will have a meal to remember. It seems that cooking your meal outdoors make it taste better.
Perhaps you may want the evening campfire out on the shoreline. Getting there is easier; just cross the frozen surface to a favorite spot out of the wind, dig yourself a firepit, gather up the firewood and get a nice bonfire going. Now cook up some hot chocolate and roast some marshmallows. If you’re musically inclined, have a campfire sing-along. Pretty soon, you want to do more winter cookouts and campfires. And before you know it, it would soon be spring.
