We had a truly awesome holiday yesterday. This is an actual picture of the fireworks display we attended last night.As usual we had our annual family picnic at a local park. GF and I arrived extra early to secure our pavilion spot. We brought sausage patties and I made French toast in the electric skillet and had coffee. On Thursday I made my mom's macaroni salad ( 8 cups cooked elbow macaroni, 2 eggs hardboiled, 1 rib celery chopped, 1 small onion chopped, 1/4 cup pickle relish, 3/4 cup Miracle Whip, 1 tsp yellow mustard, 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper. Separate cooked egg yolk from whites. Chop egg whites, add to macaroni, celery, onion, and pickle relish. In a small bowl mash egg yolk and add MW, cayenne, and mustard. Mix well then dress salad with this. Chill before serving.) to take with us.
In addition to the macaroni salad I packed up burgers and hot dogs left over from Memorial Day, buns, fried chicken, homemade Hawaiian coleslaw ( shredded cabbage & carrots, Marzetti slaw dressing, & crushed pineapple), baked beans, homemade brownies, chips, cherries, and slices of watermelon. Coke, Sprite, and bottled water to drink. We had both lunch and dinner at the park. We took walks, played corn hole, pitched horseshoes, and visited. After taking GF'S dog home we went to the fireworks.
Good food, good family, good times.
