"Hmm, once Summer's roasted whole lamb comes out, foodies from all around will flock here. We'll roast it right in the yard. We'll give our known neighbors the leftover ribs, and those unfamiliar can just watch, ensuring they'll never forget the unbeatable flavors from Artie's house for generations."
Artie naturally speaks with exaggeration when in high spirits.
Summer Fairmont erected a large rack for roasting a whole lamb and a smaller rack for a suckling pig in the backyard, using fruitwood, along with a barbecue grill made from Islay's peat.
At five in the afternoon, after the people from Kilmenny Ranch delivered the prepared lamb and pig to Artie's vacation home, Summer Fairmont started filling them with prepped ingredients.
The aromatic scent quickly attracted nearby neighbors to the yard.
Islay is sparsely populated, and the area where Artie resides is considered the busiest spot locally.
