With Memorial Day Weekend upon us, I look forward to Monday for many reasons.I can sleep in that day.
I can spend more time with my family.
I can indulge in great food.
Now, that last one - indulging in great food - might conflict with the lazy day I have in mind. So, to make sure I can do both, I plan to make almost everything in advance.
In the picture I found on my Click Art Gallery, are beautiful shrimp kabobs. Not a bad idea. I also like pasta salad, potato salad, marinated flank steak and easy vegetables like corn on the cob.
How do you stay out of the kitchen and still enjoy a great meal (without dialing the phone or driving by a pick-up window)?
BTW: If you are planning on making special adult beverages to add to the laziness of it all, check out the links to the right for Drinks Mixer. It will help you find just what you are looking for!

I love shrimp. What are the purple things on the plate to the left?
After checking with my husband, I am pretty sure it is Radichio. You can find it in the lettuce section in the produce area of your grocery store.
I remember seeing it used on Top Chef (on Bravo) as an appetizer, filled with crab salad.
Remember, if you marinate shrimp to not over marinate (not more than 10 or 15 minutes). If left too long in a marinade, the shrimp can actually cook themselves. Then when grilled, they will be tough, chewy - overcooked.
