Summer Menu

My favorite summer menu item is my mom's potato salad. She never thought it was that great, but us kids grew up on it and we of course love it. Next would be almost anything cooked on a charcoal grill. I love the smell and flavor of charcoal grilling. Steaks, hamburgers, brats, hotdogs, chicken...mmmm I'm making myself hungry. Salads are so yummy too one of my favorites is Cobb salad. Pasta salad, taco salad, chicken salad, tuna salad, broccoli-raisin salad, oriental coleslaw, coleslaw and of course the above mentioned potato salad. And what makes this food so good? eating it outside! I love having cookouts, going to picnics and eating at restaurants that have an outdoor patio. The only thing that bars me from the outdoor patio eating here in Ohio is that smoking is not allowed in public buildings any longer. So now all the restaurants, bars, etc are building outdoor patios for smokers. I really do not want to eat with cigarette smoke swirling around. Well guess that's it for now. We are planning on running around so i will try and catch up with the blogs later today/tonight. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
