Quoted message said:Who grilled for Memorial Day?
We grilled hamburgers, beer can chicken, and corn on the
cob. Everything tasted great. I also made a mango,
strawberry, and mint salad. We ate the hamburgers today
and we'll keep the chicken to pick on for a few days.

We grilled portobello mushrooms, red peppers, red onions,
and zucchini. The veggies had been tossed in olive oil and
sprinkled w/ balsamic vinegar (except for the zuke...I put
OO, fresh lemon juice, and fresh rosemary on that. I had an
eggplant, but forgot to cut it up. We grilled some boneless
chicken breasts which had been brined and marinaded in OO
and lemon juice w/ garlic.
We served all this with a huge garlic-herb foccacia I'd
baked that morning (the baby woke up at 4 a.m. and didn't go
back to sleep, so that gave me plenty of time to bake!). I
also made some pesto mayonnaise and aioli. The veggies made
great sandwiches on the foccacia. Messy, but wonderful, even
w/o the eggplant and the feta cheese, which I also forgot.
Seven-layer salad on the side, plus cut-up fruit. Chocolate
cake and pumpkin choc-chip cake for dessert.
