photo OP: MEMORIAL day weekend

RER 5.25.15

This Memorial Day Weekend was much quieter and more reflective than it was going to be initially. People go wild for a three-day weekend, no matter its reason. But a warm-weather cold had me sick and feverish, enchanted by “Gilmore Girls” and Howe’s The Misfits, draining tall mugs of hot tea and Nalgene after Nalgene of tasteless water, and dreaming of brownies, desserts, and twelve dancing princesses.

Memorial Day brought clearer sinuses and lighter lungs. There was grilling of Italian sausages and brats that tempted but are reserved for later in the week and smoking (kinda) of salty spicy ribs. There was blending of rum and frozen pina colada mix with a multitude of ice cubes and mixing of trusty Bisquick and butter for dessert. There was chatting and sunning on our deck as we sucked down our frozen beverages and listened to the grill sizzle as sausages cooked and dinner cooled. It was lovely, and quiet, and us. Our long weekend ended in our traditional summer favorite—strawberry shortcake, sweet and bright, and heavy on whipped cream. The perfect finish.

It was Memorial Day and it was hot and we were hungry for a little red meat. With the perfect little selection of burgers, White StarBar in Paulus Hook, gets their burgers right with an array of toppings. We went for the burgers. So burgers it was. I can never resist a burger with a fried egg on top, so I devoured the Journal Square Burger. And bacon makes everything better so my boyfriend tried out the Hamilton Park burger. Read more of the details in my yelp review.

Warning: Photo heavy post....but absolutely delicious.

Memorial Day Weekend is the official kick-off of summer-- bring on the BBQs, berries, and beverages. Not only was this a holiday weekend, but it was filled with celebrations, friends, family and on top of it all a ton of food (I do feel a cleanse in my near future). There was a graduation, end of year activities, parties, and multiple cook outs (yes, it was an extended MDW, starting Wednesday afternoon and continuing until the holiday, but who's counting?). Check out just some of the tasty things I chomped on...more will be on FOOD-tography.
