Went to our annual block party late yesterday afternoon. Lots of good
eats. I took Damsel's lemon bars which were a big hit, and easy to make.
There were burgers, hot dogs and bratwurst on the grill and of course the
usual St. Louis pork steaks. Big, ripe ears of corn on the cobs were also
grilled. Someone made a huge kettle of spicy chilli which I ate a lot of
and they also made corn bread (Gawd love 'em). There was baked beans
(canned I'm pretty sure), Anne's potato salad, a pesto pasta salad which
was very good, viniagrette cole slaw, a broccoli type slaw with big fat
raisins in it, a really good egg casserole like thing which looked sort
of like a fritatta but I'm not sure what it was but it had spinach. No
one could figure out who brought it so I'm empty handed on a recipe for
it, so far. There were deviled eggs, Martha Stewart's recipe for mac 'n
cheese was brought by one of the new neighbors, it was very good. Chips
and dips,cheeses, crackers beer, soda and bottled water were in
attendance. There were too many desserts to list. Cakes, brownies, lemon
bars and a couple of scratch gooey butter cakes. The firemen opened up
one of the fire hydrants and a really fun time was had by all.
