Re: Memorial Day Weekend Event 25th May
Well we had our cookout. We were eating when I remembered we hadn't taken any pics. Sorry everyone. IT was hectic, hubby grilling and I was inside trying to get it all put out. My daughter was a big help. It was good food and great to be with family and friends.
Re: Memorial Day Weekend Event 25th May
We were grilling all weekend long, starting on Friday, when we had Mexican. I know it's a lot of food and pics, but I do cook every day just about, and I do scale the recipes when I can. Otherwise, I like having a *couple* leftovers for lunches or in the freezer. So pardon my bombing with so many photos. I hope all the recipes are up- if not, they should be by tonight. Carol needs a holiday too.

which you're going to hate me because it tasted as good as it looked but-
I lost my scratch paper where I wrote down what I did and I am a stickler about keeping the recipe exactly as you see it, but I cooked so much stuff I couldn't be sure of everything I did, especially a couple days later.
But it *does* have 3 small squash (2 zukes and a crookneck), garlic, red onion, small sweet peppers- one red, one yellow (you could use 1 regular bell pepper), salt, pepper, olive oil, and epazote. That may have been it, but I am not 100% certain.
On to Saturday, which was my *Asian* day. We had the appie, split the small tail (I had 2 but used the other in something else sometime back), had the shrimp, and also the bean salad. There is actually more bean salad than I normally would have made, but the wax beans came packaged, so I just used them all.

Sunday we did barbecue some pork steaks as well as some grilled hot wings.
I didn't take photos as I wasn't using recipes.
Monday morning was a nice breakfast- I made some chilaquiles and we had them with bloodies. Nice to finish off the tomatillo salsa which I had made for the poblanos.

Later lunch was Bergy's fabulous burgers with some leftover sides.

Dinner was Persian. I *had* to buy the lamb chops- they were at such a bargain price I would not have forgiven myself if I left them at the market. The poor things needed a home- it was the least I could do.

I did think spend a lot of time thinking of those who may have died so that I *could* spend my weekend cooking, and it was food for thought, but-
I still had to eat.
It's who I am.

Re: Memorial Day Weekend Event 25th May
Sue what can I say - Fantastic photos and menus. I have scrolled up and down your photos several times - everything looks so good. The eggs Chilaquiles Verde is saved. I wanted to save the stuffed mushrooms but I guess the recipe isn't up yet. I am going to go over each recipe again because I know there are several more that I will be trying.
Sue you really know how to cook!!!!
