Well, it really isn't possible to do anything outdoors here in British Columbia right now. It has been cold and rainy for the last three weeks - very cold and very rainy - and the locals are referring to it as June-uary. So there is no need for outdoor living quite yet. I must confess that most outdoor dining experiences almost anywhere in the world end up with people batting away wasps and mosquitos - I actually prefer a quiet bug-free dining experience. But.....if it was nice weather and there were no bugs, and I was very rich (and had a very large backyard (preferably on the ocean) then
these outdoor kitchens (luxury outdoor kitchens featured on CNN) would suit me just fine.
This first one would be perfect only if I had full-time help - it looks like it needs lots of tending to keep all the stainless appliances looking shiny and bright - plus I'm not sure I would like cooking on such a grand scale every night. What ARE all those appliances anyway?
This one suits me a bit better - mainly because it has a television. I'm wondering what will happen when everyone wants a television in their backyard - it is bad enough with loud music playing somewhere nearby - but competing television shows?

Maybe I could get an easy bake oven to complete my lovely two person balcony. Sadly, a whole kitchen could get lost in my jungle backyard. As for the tv, I would also request a hammock to lie in while watching my shows.

I noticed that there is a sofa inside the little outdoor cooking area across from the television (so you don't need a hammock). But imagine how maddening it would be if the busy cook (who is making you a delicious bbq meal) gets in the way when you are watching a good show on TV.
This kind of kitchen can only work on the west coast where mosquitoes and other bugs do not seem to bother people. I can not imagine having a barbecue like this in the east and not having to enclose it in netting so that the bugs don't have a feast of their own.
While gardening, I was bitten on my ear lobe of all places and it was suddenly 3 times its normal size and this is early in the season.
Bring on the bug lamps.
