Never too cold for some BBQ
Hope you have a safe and chill weekend! 😊
I don't know about you but lately Romania has been part of some really cold days and nights, registering even -31°C at Întorsura Buzăului which represents the city with the coldest temperatures from Romania. However, the same temperature we had at the mountains that are not very far from the place where I'm currently living, which was really surprising since at the same time it was just -20°C at the North Pole.
A few days ago we had -23°C in the morning so now walking to the gym or in town at -10 or -15°C feels sort of warm, lol!
Anyway, since my parents made us a visit, we took this as a great opportunity to drive just 7 mins away from our homeplace for some BBQ in the middle of a very white and lonely place which is usually quite crowded during the hot seasons.
We encountered some problems driving close to the little pavilions arranged to enjoy your meal due to the big snow and all the ice created on the floor but just when we were looking for a place where to leave the car, a local police vehicle that was just coming up created us a path to follow after they laid down the snow with their 4WD car.
Since there was no one else in the park, we decided to stop at the first wooden chalet for our BBQ activity so we are close to the car but also get the view over the valley from where we usually can see the complex with the apartments where we call home for 3 years now. Unfortunately, being quite cold and foggy outside, these weren't fully visible this time but I'll make sure to take some new pictures for you during the summer to see the difference.
Until a few months now, we used to drive more than 20 mins to a similar place to this one but closer to the mountains. From what I understood, this location is a fairly new project so I'm really happy that it's so close to us and it also has the tiny park arranged for kids, as well as MTB tracks and all kind of routes in the woods that I can't wait to try out in spring.
Anyway, as soon as we finished arranging all the ingredients on the table that were going to be used for other food preparations, we waited no more and started the fire. My father is usually the one who takes care of the fire for me while I handle the cooking part. I simply love grilling and not for a few times I felt my belly already full because the smell you get to inhale while cooking gives you the fake impression that you already ate, but to be honest, no matter what you eat, it always tastes different and a lot more delicious while being served in nature.
What was the lowest temperature you ate at?

That's crazy weather!! I didn't realise Romania would get that cold.
The coldest I ever experienced was minus 20 something when I was in Finland to see the northern lights. We were well wrapped up with ski suits provided by the hotel and it was really nice and cosy drinking tea outside whilst waiting for the northern lights to appear. A bbq would have been perfect for us that evening as well but sadly none was provided 🙃
Haha. Yeah. I can't say that it was always like this but at least in the last few years, Romania is part of some really cold temperatures which is crazy. 🙂
I haven't been exposed to snow before but this absolutely looks cold, I was beginning to imagine how you move the car, until I read that you said you stopped on the way. I didn't know the smell inhaled gives of the illusion that one already ate. That is a juicy grill there.
Wow, you've never seen snow so far? You definitely should! But of course not in a place with so low temperatures haha. Anyway, we had some really nice walks when it was just around -5°c and no wind so the snow was so magical that we ended up slowing down our journey just to admire it more. Really lovely moments!
Hope you have a beautiful Sunday and thank you for stopping by 🤗
Yeah I've never seen snow before, but the view and the imagination is astonishing, I just couldn't imagine the weather getting colder than it currently was at that time. Yeah, I saw you had a magical time, maybe one day, I'll have the opportunity to experience this magic.
@gabrielatravels You get some cool barbecue shots that look absolutely delicious, with a cup of hot tea to warm you up.
always be careful when driving, especially when the weather in Romania is covered with snow, the city is white for a while until summer comes.
Yes indeed! Happily the roads were not a danger this year anymore, but yeah, being careful is definitely a must during the winter. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a nice Sunday!
@gabrielatravels You're welcome.
I think vigilance must be prioritized to avoid something unwanted.
Pleased to meet you.
I'm from Texas, and we love our BBQ. Now that i am in Sweden, i feel like the BBQ smell hits different and lingers stronger when it's in the Cold and Snow! Looks like y'all had an awesome time and some good food! Great shots too!
Absolutely! It was sooo different from the BBQ made during the hot seasons! Tasted more delicious too!
Oh wow, minus 31 degrees is intense! I've never had it that cold.. and the meat makes my mouth water.. delicious!! It really is never too cold for something like this!
Absolutely 🥺 thank you for stopping by! 🙏🏻
We have had such a mild winter here this year. We had frigid temperature like you are experiencing in December. Just yesterday we had 15 C which is extremely rare here. That warm in February not complaining. I'm located in about the center of the States. The BBQ food looks so good btw.
I always considered 15°c as being the perfect temperature. At least for me. Not too cold, not too warm, but still the best temperature to take a walk, enjoy a bike ride, or hang out with the friends :)
Thank you for stopping by!
I agree perfect weather for many activities:)
Hell yeah!! 😎
