Midweek Check In
Happy Hump Day to you and yours! Anyone else having a case of the "short week feels longer than a regular week" yet or does that hit tomorrow? Unfortunately, Monday afternoon the tweens/teens found the pool not too far from the abode so we got to listen to the hootings of young, insecure males attempting to show off for both girls and their fellow brethren. I'm really hoping this is just some cousins visiting or something for the weekend because I know of only one teen boy here and he's a loner. Is pool season over yet? It always starts strong like this and then typically dies down within a month but what an irritating month it is until then. We did some more work out on the patio Monday. It was going to be the last sunny day before two days of forecasted rain...again. I made sure to get the new picket painted and hung to cover this delightful sight: When the picket was off, I could see how bad the support 2x4's looked on the fence. ...
Hiya!
ReplyDeleteSlow start for me this week!
Just a few work meetings so I was productive. Today will be back to back all morning, ugh.
Have a great week!
Those au-gratin potatoes you made for Easter would actually be a perfect side dish for a good cookout. Assuming I could follow the recipe I will bring that!
ReplyDeleteI make a stuffed garlic mozzarella bread loaf that gets cooked on the grill, so I'd bring that to heat right before we settled down to chow.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a cook, so I'll bring chips and salsa. Or I'll buy the meat and let the host cook it.
ReplyDeleteLoaded Baked Potato Salad!!! So yummy and it has bacon!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a usual side dish I bring. Right now I have half a head of cabbage in the fridge I need to use so probably some sort of asian inspired slaw, with shredded carrots, ginger, rice vinegar, and maybe some toasted sunflower seeds if the package I have in the pantry is still fresh. Based on previous suggestions I think I'd enjoy this cookout!
ReplyDeleteA broccoli salad with sunflower seeds and dried cranberries. I love it, but so many people making/buying a heavy dressing and then overdressing the salad I will often pass on it or only have a very small amount. If I bring it I get to eat something I love and I can control the contents and quantity of the dressing. Otherwise I will bring coleslaw with a homemade dressing. If you can't tell, I like cookout sides with crunch :)
