it was time for a picnic

Every once in a while I get a hankering for something particular from back home in the States. Today a dinner menu sprung to mind that was worthy of a Memorial Day picnic (the official start to summer there; the last weekend in May). Maybe because it was hot and rather humid today here it made me think such summery thoughts.

We grilled some ribs in the oven and made a fresh potato salad with mayo, tarragon, a little white wine vinegar and EVOO, salt and pepper in the dressing. Drank a cold beer while cooking and later had a delicious ice cream bar. Couldn't have been more perfect if we'd spread a red and white checkered table cloth or tucked a napkin under our chins.
