Vocabulary Lesson: "Fete Champetres"

Vocabulary

backyard bbq

fete champetres- n. a garden party, picnic or similar outdoor entertainment.

________________________________________________

I keep pretending that I don't live in a tiny condo. I plan crazy outdoor parties that could never happen . We don't even own a grill.
The reality is that we have a small wooden patio and a old george foreman grill.
I kept everything on a small scale for once, and I think that this could actually work.
Wanna come over for a "fete champetres"? I have enough room for, like, 4 guests (and they will have to sit side by side).


bbq bunting


bbq gun.


bbq lantern


bbq tray

i stared + stared at that first picture trying to determine the following: is that a fancy pants grill or some kind of giant shish-kabob rotisserie?

i'm a teacher + it's summer so i have time to ponder such things.
