The HC lunch was good, but the flavor was not quite what I was expecting. Might have been the rosemary, might have been the pearl onions I picked out of the dish. I bought 2 because I thought I would REALLY like it (having sweet potatoes in it & all), but I'm not sure I'll get it again after that.
By not sticking to my meal plan I don't mean to imply that I over-indulged at the cookout. I actually think I made pretty good choices there. It was just that all my meals were sort of in a 6 hour timespan instead of spread more through the day like they normally are.
There was lots of delicious food, and I sampled a bit of most offerings. I didn't have a bun with my hotdog, saving those carb choices for Aunt Sharon's rice dish, some chips w/ Mom's taco dip, small portions of the apple crisp & Jell-O/pretzel desserts, a little of Johnna's pasta salad, some scalloped corn(bread), and 2 small cookies (scraped off the frosting).
Cousin Kitty made two chilis, one with beans and one without. I forgot to try it, but I the talk around the bonfire was that both were delicious! : )
The most important part of any family gathering is, of course, family time. I'm very grateful to have been placed in such a loving and AWESOME family! A loving and awesome family who cooks. heh!
Until next time, what's your favorite cookout food? Do you go straight to the grilled hotdogs, or are you more of a bonfired marshmallow? BTW, say marshmallow outloud a few times. It's fun! : )
