| Fresh charcoal is ready |
Thanks to Jesner and Ancy for presenting me yet another beautiful evening. I am soo late to create this post. Got caught up in some critical works. But I decided to air this today itself.
And yes, it was a grilling evening, and Ancy's birthday celebration.
Jesner was ready with the grill when I reached at their place yesterday. The grilling a was kind of tutorial for me. Learned the aerodynamics of grilling (Didn't get the aerodynamics part? It is all about utilizing the air around to make the coal burn better & the chicken to taste awesome. Never mind, I know, the topic is complicated as it spells.)
He instructed while I performed the grill setup. Yipee, I learned to setup a barbecue kitchen now.
A wonderful evening. A cute patio with couple of chairs, chips, creamy cashews and soda. Ancy was busy preparing dinner inside, and came occasionally to the patio, in-order to make sure we aren't burning the chicken and delivered professional suggestions :)
Jesner and I was discussing various topics, while the chicken was getting grilled.
After an hour and a half of grilling, we ate that chicken mercilessly with pulav and ancy's signature green salad. Finger licking good.
Let's go through some of the main clicks of that day.

| Filled the fresh black charcoal in the holder and burned it from the bottom to get started. |
 |
| After few minutes, the smoke started emerging from the charcoal holder. |
 |
| Then the smoke began to gush out like thick clouds escaping up into the sky. Means that the charcoal and the fire is having some serious conversation now. |
 |
| After few minutes the smoke started settling down. Means, the coal is on fire and no more smoking :) |
 |
| The charcoal on fire. To start the grilling, the color of the charcoal should turn to ash. |
 |
| Charcoal is ready to cook. |
 |
| Jesner placed the chicken on the grill. Well marinated from the morning, the chicken smelled good! |
 |
| Half way through the grilling. Few more minutes for the chicken to get cooked properly. |
 |
| Tada, let's eat it. Proud for the first personal grilling. Thanks Jesner for your tutorial and walk through :) |
 |
| Isn't the chicken looking yummy! |
 |
| The tools which helped us to prepare our dinner. |
 |
| That was yummy and yummy to the heart. |

| Followed by Ancy's birthday celebration. The shot through the leaves on the flower vase. |
A different evening with a different experience with a wonderful family...
