Memorial Day Weekend Recap
Hello all and Happy Memorial Day! I hope many of you are enjoying an extra day off today. We are blessed to have a super unseasonably cool weekend upon us to actually enjoy. (Well, for someone like me!) When you have to wear a jacket on walks, I say it's a victory given how many Memorial Days we've spent drenched in flop sweat. So I am going to enjoy the cool spell while I can. We had a ton of rainy, cold days which were good for my soul but my newly planted veggies and flowers weren't necessarily happy about it. Whoops! The first hint of sun they got was Friday so I'm sure they were happy to know they could actually get some sun instead of thinking they lived in London. I have mentioned our a-hole squirrels/chipmunks around here and I saw one sniffin' around the zinnias in the side bed so what did I have to do? Obviously I can't have them there forever but until they're not as wee, I think they should be helpful. I had a delig...
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 :)
