Chicken Tonight

So yes, the chicken BBQ was amazing too. I felt the need to get back on the blog and tell you all something I found very interesting. I met some people from Australia at the BBQ tonight and well, they get something a little bit better than the occasional three day weekend. This one woman that I met was in the states visiting her family because she had a 2 month vacation. Yes, I said two month vacation. At which at the end of it she could return to her job like she never left.

Are we living in the wrong country? Here I have been asking Gates (read: the rich) for a handout and other people in different parts of the world are getting months at a time off. I think I may have my priorities out of whack.

For those of you that are wondering the entire platter of potato salad was gone within the first few hours. I am kinda wishing we were able to incorporate it into our wedding day meal somehow. Thinking that the last thing Kate and her Mom will want to do is make batch after batch of potato salad the day before the wedding. Just saying.

Potato Salad and Me

And, I am back. Kate's Mom was at the door dropping off some platter so we could bring potato salad to the party. Kate has this AMAZING recipe I think that her Mom created and they have this one platter that perfectly fits two full batches of the recipe. It seriously is the best potato salad you have ever had. Not too much mayo, the perfect amount of seasoning, and they use all different kinds of potatoes. Hungry?! Alright, back to the pig... It was weird to watch and wonderful to eat.

If I had to rank the whole experience I would give it a 9 out of 10. The only reason I would avoid 10 out of 10 is all the labor it took into the whole production. As you know I am no longer about handouts and not waiting for Gates to give me another car. In any case, my BBQ adventures are not over for the weekend. We are off to one last BBQ (chicken for this one) tonight and then back to the normal work week tomorrow.

Hope you all had a great weekend too. Starting to think every weekend should be a full three days. It's hard to argue that isn't it?
