The Un-barbeque
May 30, 2011
Sort of scraping the bottom of the barrel here for something to write about that says Monday, May 30. Nothing’s coming to me; just going to type and see what comes out. Here goes:
We had friends over for dinner; that’s twice in one weekend. It turned into a good weekend for hanging out with friends and cooking (and recycling dishes from the previous night, as it turned out).
It’s Memorial Day.. so at one point we got to talking about that, and whether any of us had any family members or friends who’d died in a war. None of us did.. that we knew about, anyway. Talked about various wars, shared various war stories from various people we’d known who had fought. Jim told one of my Uncle Bud’s stories.. a pretty good one from WWII, and a story or two from his dad.
That was that.
It was so chilly we decided not to barbeque. I mean really. So, instead of grilling stuff, we served the black beans we’d made a couple nights ago. Not the usual summer-kick-off weekend. Cloudy, unseasonably cold weather forecast for the rest of the week, and the possibility of more rain. Meh.
Guess we’ll keep the bean pot out.
