Maybe the outdoors is nice once in a while ~Excited for my first s'mores~

I found a post looking for barbecue participants at the salon I frequent, so I joined.

What were the attractive parts?

The convenience of being able to get there within an hour from home.

No preparation (including ingredients) needed, just go empty-handed.

That was the best part.

Being able to do it easily nearby! Opportunities like this are rare. By the way, trash disposal was also taken care of (thank goodness).

Truly everything was taken care of.

So, I was vaguely thinking that if I had the chance, I wanted to do (make) something (you could bring your own food).

And then the day arrived. The temperature was over 30 degrees. It was a clear day.

I was so absorbed in eating that I don't have many photos of the barbecue, but since I'm here, I'll share what I have.

This magnificent corn was from one of the participants.

Grilled corn is delicious 🌽🌽🌽

By the way, the main course was plenty of meat.

Mr. Koike, the organizer, watching over the barbecue work and sending good vibes (photo publication permission granted).

He has a wealth of topics, can talk to anyone, and is in great spirits. We ended up having a lively conversation about games 🌸

The only meat photo 🥓 It's been a while since I've had bone-in meat.

And for dessert, we had the outdoor classic.

S'mores!

You know, that thing where you roast a marshmallow and sandwich it between chocolate biscuits to eat.

Actually, I've been dying to try it ever since I saw it in Laid-Back Camp ☺️

But I was wondering,

I was a bit worried, but after searching, I found out that regular marshmallows and any kind of biscuit are totally fine!

So, I just bought things I could get at a regular supermarket.

Time to roast the marshmallow over the charcoal fire (the fire is just barely lit 🔥)

Once the marshmallow gets soft, sandwich it with the biscuits and it's done.

The combination of fluffy, melty marshmallows and crunchy biscuits

A delicious dessert is ready. It's so simple yet amazing.

The other participants were also happy I brought them!

I was so glad they were pleased~😙❤️

The barbecue area looks like this. There are many trees, and it's relaxing.

Our spot didn't get direct sunlight, so it was comfortable. The breeze was nice too, blowing every now and then~(though it was a bit strong at times)

I couldn't help but lie down on the grass and snap a photo📸

Enjoying a comfortable outdoor experience☺️

I didn't think it would be this much fun.

Maybe things I don't usually eat (at home) taste better when I'm outside with others. It might be close to eating just because everyone else is.

I'm also happy that I was able to spend the day without any issues regarding the health problems (seizures) I was worried about.

On the way home, I found a lovely park and stopped by.

It really felt like a forest bath. I feel like there were tons of negative ions.

If a place like this were nearby, it would immediately become my walking route.

It was a healing moment.

This is the barbecue area I visited this time.

I want to go again.
I felt like a new door had opened.

Going out is nice. After all.
