What are you cooking for Memorial Day?

Ribeyes and a half-bottle of brand spankin' new Zinfandel from my first try at home winemaking. Bottled about an hour ago.

Welcome to the club, Robert. Nothing like home made. You're gonna love the product. It's always better than anything you can buy. Just ask Howie. He's a veteran (he even makes champagne)! Welcome to the club!

I went the cross-cultural healthy route this year. Grilled turkey with a tequila, lime and cilantro marinade, veggie salad with an Asian ginger sesame dressing, roasted baby red potatoes with light sour cream and Penzey's Fox Point and corn on the cob with a little butter and a light dusting of grated parmesan-regiano.

What a mutt of a meal!

I did some BBQ baby back ribs and a beer can chicken on my kooker for Memorial day! It was lots of fun and the ribs were outstanding, I must say (thanks Bob H for the great tips!)
