As I was saying... let's take this past week-end. It was Labor Day Week-end in the U.S. and a nice long week-end for many of us. For once, my family and I got to enjoy two days in a row of outdoor grilling and company. On Sunday, my husband's friend had a housewarming/Labor Day celebration at his home. So we all went over to his house, enjoyed some grilled burgers and hot dogs, macaroni salad, chips-n-salsa, and a lot of finger foods to keep us busy (busy eating!) while we hung out with everyone there the whole afternoon.
Then came Monday, Labor Day Holiday. No work, no school! It rained where I live but that didn't stop us from having my two sisters and their families, as well as my mom and stepdad from coming over to my house and enjoying an afternoon of (more) grilled foods. There was plenty of other food as well. While the boys hung out in the family room discussing various anime movies, the rest of us ate our food while watching the Dido Live DVD that I received for my birthday earlier this year. (She's a very pleasant performer to watch, by the way. If you ever feel stressed out, her music is quite calming).
Anyway, I'm going to put in a music CD to listen to while I grab some celery sticks to munch on before I head off to bed. Thinking about food made me hungry again. Why does Wolfbernz always think up topics that make me think of food?

@ Bob...I agree! Most of these holidays should be named grillin day, especially July 4th!
Hi Liggy,
You did leave a comment on my site, I just have to approve them before they post. That is why it did not work for you. I get way too much spam and some of it is really bad stuff so I moderate all of my comments. I hope you understand. I just posted one of your comments.
Love and Blessings,
AngelBaby
LiggyB! What a busy, wonderful holiday weekend you had...great! Sounded a bit like ours..lol. We got a head start on Friday evening with snow crab legs and a 26" flounder fresh from the bay (my partner caught it, cleaned and fileted it); Saturday it was ribs for her and clams for me; Sunday bbq'd chicken and grilled steaks at a friends. And of course all the sides...so on the holiday itself? (Yesterday)...peirogies, something simple..lolol.
By the way, I love Dido and I agree with you as far as calming, serene musical interlude...she is hte next best thing to Enya (well, for me!).
Great post, Liggy....! Clickey-click!
Thanks, Nancy! I just love seafood...much more so than anyone else in my family. Sounds like you had an awesome dinner.
Going to go visit your blog now...
I love to grill, but I love it more when someone else, who is awesome at the grill, does it.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation!

Wow, cool beans!!! Thanks, everyone!!!
Nice site, good food and friends a great combo. One of my favorites is to marinate large scallops in cabernet, teriyaki and garlic. Grill them about 5 minutes per side on a hot grill. Serve with fresh picked white sweet corn and home grown tomatoes. Yumm!
Thanks for finding your way here, ibdragon! I appreciate the compliment. BTW, you certainly have great taste in food, too!
