We're having husband's parents and two-thirds of the kids over for Father's Day today. (The youngest is at a horse show someplace in Central VA). We're doing a cookout for which I began preparing yesterday so I could enjoy myself today. The brisket is roasting, the chicken is marinating and will be grilled shortly, potato salad, sesame noodle salad, and tomato-cucumber salad are all refrigerated, and the lemon meringue pie is tempting me from the counter. I burned the edge of the meringue -- first time that's ever happened -- that'll be my piece.
Even though the temperature should top 95° today, we've got a lot of shade and will attempt to actually eat outside. We'll see. Maybe if I give everyone a tablespoon and direct them to dig, we can put in a pool! Anyone got a spare back-hoe?
Happy Father's Day!

Sounds like a great BBQ! Allen and I had lunch w/my Mother. She's adorable!
No back hoe but if I did, I'd loan it to you for a piece of pie (my favorite kind).
Sounds good. What time should I arrive?

I did Father's Day early at my parents house. It was a nice relaxing time. My dinner was good, buy yours was great, I know.
The only thing missing from that was the keg. ;-)
Everything sounds delicious. Hope all went well.
