Her menu:
- hot dogs cooked over the outdoor fire ring
- buns, for those who wanted one (I skipped the bun in favor of more potato salad)
- potato salad
- cole slaw
- strawberries
- carrots (she nixed the carrots at the last minute, on my suggestion, we had plenty of food otherwise)
- s'mores, using a homemade chocolate frosting/ganache in place of chocolate candy
She surprised me with how well she thought out a menu using only what we had on hand. She even made potato salad for the very first time, and it was delicious (I had seconds). She asked about making hot dog buns, but I suggested we just use whatever we have in the freezer, which ended up being hamburger buns. Works just fine.
The cook-out was fun, just sitting around the fire afterward. Although, the mosquitos ate me alive. We're in a bit of a heat-wave, here. The forecast is 93 for today, 87 for tomorrow. When you don't have A/C, that's pretty hot. How was your long weekend? Did you BBQ or have a cook-out? Or did you use the time to get a project done, or just relax?
Have a great day!
