The last holiday weekend of the summer.............
We can already feel the change in the air, see slight color in the hills and notice the lengthening of the shadows. Summer of '09 will just be a sweet memory in a few weeks. Fall is coming on fast so we need to grasp every second of summer possible.
Our labor day was near perfect. We did the things we love, shot the guns, grilled out and had supper on the deck, sat around the fire pit listening to music, relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed that feeling that only comes when you have extra time. Normal weekends fly by as we try to catch up from the work week, but the three day weekend has a completely different dynamic. Love that extra day.
Supper tonight was a bit on the traditional side:
Morning Glory Burgers (2/10/2009)
Potato Salad
Baked Beans
Roasted Corn on the Cob
Apple Crisp
As I was making the potato salad I was thinking how odd it was that I have had 2 different people ask me recently about the "secret" to perfect boiled eggs. For at least the last 20 years I have used the no boil method:
Bring eggs to a boil and remove from heat. Cover with a tight fitting lid and let sit 15 minutes for hard boiled, 12 minutes for medium and 10 minutes for soft boiled. Rinse with cold water until cool enough to peel.
A tip that I just love for easy peel eggs is to add a tablespoon of salt to the water before it boils. Adding vinegar to the water accomplishes the result. Salt is easier for me as it kept beside the cooktop.
Hoping your Labor Day was as perfect as ours.
So, Until Tomorrow...........
