I've invited some friends and their children round.
I have:
Cleaned the BBQ, ordered charcoal, snipped bay leaves to add to the smoke.
Mowed the grass, blocked potential toddler escape routes, put tools away. Set up tables and chairs.
Filled the fridge with meat and salad. Roasted veg chopped, potato salad made.
Stocked up on condiments. Ketchup. mayo, relish, yellow mustard and those plastic cheese slices.
Have wine, beer, lager, mixers, non-alcoholic options. One drawer in freezer is filled with ice (and sorbet). I'm making Long Island Ice Tea, Woo Woo and Blue Lagoon cocktails in jugs. My drinks cabinet is... extensive.
But as I was washing up the BBQ tongs I realised that I am missing one vital part of the BBQ plan. Something so basic that it might all come to a grinding halt (even with all the booze). What is it?

To throw a BBQ today without the most basic and fundamental thing? (lighthearted)
