Some tips and thoughts that nobody asked for, from your favorite life-coach (who is the least qualified to claim to be one!) Happy Memorial Day, y’all!
Those were great tips! Re dogs...they need American cheese, yellow mustard and mayo mixed together into one sauce, diced white onion, and diced extra sour dill pickles. OR...tangy, vinegary bbq sauce, diced red onion, and mayo-heavy cole slaw. Both options on a buttered, toasted bun of course 😋
I agree with the date thing. We’ve been huge fans of Quattro de Mayo in my family for years. The decorations are up, there’s no wait for tables, and they’re not gonna run out of ANYTHING that day.
As for grill lines, I’m agnostic on that one - I can really go either way. I tell you, though, kids don’t! I coach basketball and at our summer camp I grill the dogs and if there is a HINT of brown on them I get kids coming up to me holding out their dog like I handed them a poop sandwich, telling me they need a new one ‘cause “THIS ONE’S BURNT!” So if you’ve got kids at your cookout I’d say have some boiled ones handy or the whining will about knock you on your ass.
re being super-careful. I think you're probably going to "parent" the way I drive. (Take all the road you need, Mister Truck, I'll just get out of your way...)
My dad used to complain about how I drove. "She's too goddamn POLITE." My reply -- "That's possible and it's your privilege to scorn my terrible habit of obeying the speed limit -- but please remember that in order to criticize my driving, you need to still be alive..."
You are right to keep an eye on the kids, especially the toddlers. They are swift and know not of fear.
Great post dear. I have to go on record though, because I feel strongly that the correct answers are: sweet cornbread, savory grits and creamy coleslaw. But that’s just me.😂 Happy Memorial Day.

Sauerkraut, mustard & raw diced onions on a hot dog is the way to go! Messy, but absolutely fantastic!
Have a relaxing day and enjoy your family. Much love.❤️🇺🇲
Have a great day doing whatever you wish! Life is good. Be thankful! Love ya! 💜
