More Food That Tastes Particularly Good in the Summertime

 Saturday, June 13, 2026

A couple nights ago we had the same dinner as pictured above except for one difference. Tonight we had brats on the grill instead of burgers. It was delicious. I like my brats with mustard, no ketchup, and lots of baked beans. Add some potato salad and cole slaw and it makes for the perfect summer meal. 

Cigar before dinner. No cocktails though. I'm off the sauce for the time being.

Food That Tastes Particularly Good in the Summertime

 Wednesday, June 10, 2026

Very warm and very humid today and yesterday. We've had the central air on for the first time this season. Dale and I were craving hamburgers today so we headed to Lund's and got ourselves a couple of 'em and grilled 'em up!! They tasted so good and so did the cole slaw, potato salad, and baked beans. It's feeling like summer for sure.

Yummy.

Brats At Last

 Monday, May 25, 2026

We stopped by the store ealier today and picked up some more brats. Dale cooked them up on the grill...

...and they were delicious.

We also had baked beans, cole slaw, and potato salad. It's really starting to feel like summer. 

Dinner and a Movie

Saturday, May 15, 2021

Dale grilled tonight. We're both very aware of how little time he has left before heading up to Madeline for a couple months and are trying to experience the kind of weather Minneapolis gets in late May and early June before he heads off. Let me say we were both so easily spoiled from his not having to go up last year due to Covid. 

Anyway, we sat out in the backyard and enjoyed the lovely afternoon while having cocktails. I indulged in a cigar as well. 

We had hamburgers and asparagus on the grill and some leftover potato salad. 

During dinner we watched Send Me No Flowers starring Doris and Rock. Dale and I both fell asleep about halfway through it. We were just THAT tired. Ah well, we'll finish it tomorrow...

Brats

Dale and I made brats on the grill recently for the first time this season. Potato salad and kraut both from Kowalski's.  So glad grilling season has begun.
