Avengers BBQ
Not needing to sleep is definitely a benefit in preparing for an event of this size. The tables have been laid out on the lawns since last night, the chicken has been marinating, the burgers and brats are laid out, and the giant multi-section grill is all laid out. But his real work has been on the ribs. His latest experiment in building on his culinary hobby, he started them with a black pepper and cajun spice rub, moved on to homemade bbq sauce of hot and sweet pepper mix, and has been slow cooking the ribs most of the night.

All is about ready as the time arrives for people to start arriving, and Jarvis and his helpers have most of the tables set and the salads, condiments and party trays laid out. Informed of the time, Iason starts laying out the rest of the meat in segregated sections, readying to serve the first arrivals.

	Kristoff and Cassandra arrive punctually at the time suggested to them, because Kristoff would not be comfortable doing otherwise. Informal social functions aren't really Kristoff's forte, but he wants to accompany her in seeing her friends, especially in the particular circumstances. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	James could be found anywhere there was food so it was no surprise he was one of the first to show up for the cookout. He was in his swimming trucks and a tee shirt. He didn't think he could help with the food preparation, so he stayed out of the way. (Reply to this)

After a week of freshmen orientation events and a charity event on Saturday night, Anya was more than ready for a day where she could just relax. Classes started on Wednesday and Anya was going to take advantage of the time until then to relax as much as possible.

She was in a tank top and a pair of shorts. Casual was definitely the speed of Avengers cookouts.

Like her brother she stayed out of the way of the food prep. It was her way of helping. She hovered near the grill and was ready to snag the first burger.

	He has one all prepped for her, shovelling a cheeseburger onto a bun and offering it over without even asking what she wanted. "Condiments are right over on that table." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She grinned. "You're a life safer," she said as she accepted the burger. "Jarvis rope you into helping out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just the opposite, I asked if I could handle the grilling and try out a few recipes I've been working on. Took a little convincing, but here I am. You'll have to tell me how it all came out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait a minute? You volunteered? I bet Jarvis loved that. He usually doesn't get volunteers to help cook. He's usually chasing us away from the food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya grabbed a quiet spot to eat her burger and once she was done, she went to mingle. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Kristoff spotted ~~Miss Stark~~Anya when Cassandra was momentarily occupied. He nodded politely. "Good afternoon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-09-05 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Kristoff," she smiled. "Afternoon. I'm glad to see you and Cassie made it. How are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Quite well, thank you. And I am glad as well; I know Cassandra has been looking forward to talking to all of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We miss her," Anya admitted. "She's been around since I was born and then she went and switched teams. Unfortunately bad guys don't take a break and allow us to socialize often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was a bit of a glum Labor Day for Toni. With the on-going legal battle (even with a Stark lawyer), finding any school willing to take her (citing "safety" reasons) was not going well. Which meant a late start, wherever she ended up. Some days, being a freak was not nearly as enjoyable as others. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-09-06 05:50 am UTC (link)
	"Pretty much," Toni said, as she wrapped an arm around Anya. "Shaking a few cages, but no progress. Starting to look like I might have to enroll at Xaiver's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve was slightly annoyed that Iason had taken over the grilling. He'd grown-up on his dad's backyard victory barbecues and knew his way around them like nobody else. In the meantime, however, he was munching on a burger. ...Pretty good burger, actually. (Reply to this)

	Eliza is setting up a few water pistols. It's still warm enough to enjoy water sports. Now all she needs is a victim. Willing or not she will have a water fight. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Being behind the grill affords some protection - no one wants their food soaked. "Hey beautiful. Armed and dangerous today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-09-07 04:16 am UTC (link)
	She would love to get him. But alas she also wants cooked food that isn't soggy. "You betcha," Eliza grins. "I'm looking for victims." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
