Big Weekend Plans?

[DD]

Am grilling hamburgers. Baking crinkle fries. And then am being bad with the Marie Callendar's Turtle pie we bought to eat. Bad Bad! High calories and fat! Caramel, chocolate! Yum Yum! Probably will take some over to my son's apartment for him and his wife. Might go swimming at their apartment pool!

Have you had her Razzleberry Pie? Yum!

I'm ordering SoWal t-shirts.

From a bit of catching up on my reading, I understand that there is a big Italian party at Rosemary, the Mers are pedaling to the 500 track, and SJ is practicing crowd aversion. What is everyone else doing this long weekend?

We just got in from Chicago; had to make a quick overnight trip for Mr. Pod's work, and then we made a jaunt to Ikea. Went to see my dad before we came home.
Was supposed to swim and eat at a friend's house tomorrow, but she turned the family cookout into a gullfriends-with-their-kids event, and I'm not dragging Mr. Pod to that, and I'm not leaving him home alone on a holiday; not nice. So, I think we'll just get out the kiddie pool and grill at home!

Chicago? IKEA? Hmmm...lucky.:clap_1:

I cooked a yummy dinner last night, black beans and rice with grilled chicken. Then we had a very enjoyable evening at a pops concert featuring a band from Nashville. Two of the band members, a cellist and a guitarist, played at church this AM and sounded beautiful. Then we drove to ATL to have lunch with our daughter at Houston's. I loved the barbecued ribs, loved the corn side dish, and loved the five-nut brownie that we shared, but OMG, the bill for the three of us was $140. Glad it was good.

Tomorrow hubby is playing golf, and I'm going to do some reading and cook my daughter's chicken taco recipe that she's devised. She has an exam Tuesday so can't be with us. What kind of jerky professor would give an exam the day after a holiday? That is such a no-no! I would never do that to my students.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial Day!

No, destindreamin, we haven't tried that. But we eyeballed it over and over again last night. Sure looked yummy! Will try it next time we go shopping. I usually cannot get past the cherry pie or dutch apple pie. That razzleberry pie is probably alot less calories than that turtle pie we bought. Beachrunner, I would love to have your black beans and rice recipe with grilled chicken and your daughter's chicken taco recipe. Chicken is something I could eat seven days a week!

I love pie...ALL pie....any pie. But, that Razzleberry is one good pie!
The turtle pie sounds good too....I make a turtle cheesecake, hmmmmm....maybe I'll make one tomorrow!

Turtle cheesecake sounds yummy also. I will be tempted right now to get that pie out of the freezer and cut a piece right now and I do not need to do that seeing as it is almost 10:00. Making me hungry. Sure would defeat the purpose of walking wouldn't it?

Better than eating it and NOT walking.....at least that's my philosophy!

I agree. There is not much pie I do not like. I love my mom's lemonade pie recipe that makes two pies. A good cold dessert during hot weather as you freeze them both! I like a chocolate peanut butter pie also.
