Labor Day Weekend Recap
How do? It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do. I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline. Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday. I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad. I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges. Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them. Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem.

Happy Memorial Day!! I have a few things I really like on the grill. One is pork chops and I'll make fresh pico de gallo to put on top -- the coldness of that on the meat is so good. I like corn on the cob too. One of my favorite things to make (which reminds me I haven't done it in a long time) is a cheesy bread with an Italian loaf that you cut slices almost down to the end and insert a concoction of whipped butter, parsley, mozzarella and a few other ingredients in between each slice. Then wrap the whole thing in foil and heat on the grill for about 30 minutes. It is SO good. And it's surprisingly light and not greasy at all. I think because the heat kind of takes some of the moisture out of the bread it just gives it good texture.
