Campfire Mayo and Uno Attack

We finally managed to get our schedules coordinated and I was able to have Marnie, Dave and Ron, Marnie's Dad, over for a BBQ.  Marnie made her mum's potato salad and we served a burger bar.  Of which I took absolutely no photos, not a one.  Grrrr.

This is a cheater picture from my post on summer burgers

A burger bar is simply a 'top your own burger' buffet.  We had fried onions, onions crisps, mushrooms, all the regular condiments: ketchup, mustard, sweet relish, dill pickle relish (which is amazing!), mayo, tomatoes,lettuce, and some awesome campfire mayo - that, I do have a picture of. 

The secret is the chipotle chili pepper spice.

You mix two parts mayo, to one part BBQ sauce.  My favourite is Bull's Eye Chicken and Rib. 

And then you season it with chipotle chili pepper spice.  If you like it with a hint of smoke, add a little, if you like it with some heat, add a lot. And voila:

Campfire Mayo!  It really compliments burgers and yam fries. But I digress. 

The main event, and the activity that caused the most laughter was a little game called Uno Attack.

Uno is a card game very similar to crazy eights, the goal is to get rid of all your cards, while preventing your opponents from getting rid of all their cards.  It's a fun card game that the whole family can play.  Uno Attack introduces this little machine which is pure evil.

At first we had no idea, Marn found this game at Target and raved so we were all willing to play.

We sat around outside after dinner and began.

My youngest and Dave LOVE to tease each other, notice Patrick blocking Dave from the picture.  That was 100% on purpose.

I've never seen Marnie laugh so hard or shreek so much.  She hates when the cards come flying out of the Uno machine.

This is my eldest demonstrating the Uno machine's evil.  However many cards the machine spits out, is how many you have to pick up.  And it's like a sneaky jack-in-the-box, sometimes you get no cards, and sometimes you get many, many, cards.

Dave had a good time. He had a good time making everyone else's life challenging.  And he giggled the whole time.

Yours truly won, but the battle for second was a competitive one.  Dave foiled Ron's plan of exiting in spectacular style.  Ron had a huge all green hand that he would have been able to discard all at once, until that is, Dave put down a yellow card and Ron had to follow suit.  Ron's feisty when he's riled.  

Best BBQ ever!
