Had my wife's mother, son and his wife and 5 kids over for Memorial Day yesterday. Swam at the community pool and then did a sort of old fashioned cookout, hamburgers and hotdogs (I made lamb burgers for myself and anyone else who wanted one). Made a cole slaw and a potato salad in the French style using a vinaigrette instead of a mayonnaise base. Funny thing is that my wife insisted we buy 10 ears of corn as everyone likes that and it is sort of a traditional summer vegetable here. Completely forgot to cook the corn, I found the bag on one end of the kitchen counter this morning. Now thinking of alternate ways to use it all up. Maybe some corn chowder or corn fritters.
