Memorial Day Weekend!

Wow, what a beautiful weekend! The weather here on Long Island was the best I can remember on a Memorial Day weekend since I moved here 11 years ago. We had a great weekend. It was very relaxing. Long walks on the beach, lying in the hammock, BBQing in the backyard, sitting on the deck, and Margaritas made this weekend a very memorable one. Hopefully this will be the start of a wonderful summer season. We are looking forward to some great outdoor fun this summer and hopefully the weather will cooperate!
We prepared and enjoyed some great summer foods this weekend. We BBQ'd shish kebobs (beef, onions, peppers, zucchini, and pineapple), fresh corn, Pete's "Special Burgers" (My special recipe), and hot dogs. I made fresh tzatziki for the shish kabobs. It was the best batch I have made to date. I bought a fat free Greek Yogurt that was thicker than I have found in the past. In the past it has been too runny even after draining the yogurt and cucumbers. I think I got the right amount of garlic too, not too strong! We had some nice homemade salads (Red Bliss Potato salad, Cole Slaw, and Tomato and Cucumber Salad). We will be enjoying these for the entire week!
Hopefully everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day Weekend as much as we did.
Until next time.
