Buddly's three day weekend
Saturday.
Our daughter Carly came home from Omaha for her daughters graduation and Memorial Day.
Her daughter Jasmine, Carly, and son Ethan.
Since she would be leaving Sunday morning, we had a cookout fot the kids and grandkids on Saturday.
I grilled some weenies for burnt weenie sammiches and Karen made a big skillet full of Manwich, put out some chips, watermelon and cantaloupe, and some 2 liter bottles of sodie pops.
I didn't take any pics of the cookout fare, but most of you have seen my weenie anyway. Don't wanna over do it!
Sunday.
It was just Karen and I on Sunday, so we picked up some nice hefty filet mignons and some stuffed crabs at Walmart that morning.
Mmmmmm! Medium rare filets, a couple of crabs, half a baked potato, and rolls. Don't get any better than that!
Just a nice quiet Sunday at home.
Yay!
Monday.
Karen's mom, two of her sisters, a nephew and grand niece came over around 4 for dinner.
Menu:
Grilled pork loin
Steamed asparagus
Boiled and fried new potatoes
Fresh tomatoe, cucumber, and onion medley tossed with Italian dressing
My world famous shrimp and macaroni salad
Fresh watermelon and cantaloupe tray
Sister's Parker House rolls
And, oh yeah, Key Lime pie!
Started with a 5lb pork loin, marinated overnight in Coca-Cola, garlic, and salt and pepper.
Browned him nicely on all sides, then moved it to the back of the grill and turned the rear burner off and the front to medium heat.
Made a little sauce to baste him with from 1/3 cup of apple juice and 1/3 cup of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce. Slathered him up and closed the lid. Went out about every 15 minutes, turned it, and rebasted.
After about and hour and fifteen minutes,
TaaaaDaaaa!
Pork perfection!
Everyone showed up on time (thankee Lord) and we sat the table.
Karen was busy while I was grillin'!
Boiled and fried new potatoes.
Steamed asparagus.
Cucumer, tomatoe and onion medley.
Shrimp macaroni salad, that I made yesterday.
Sister's rolls.
And the headliner, grilled pork perfection!
It's time to eat!
All in all, a very nice three day weekend.
Hope everyone had a safe, happy, thankful and grateful weekend.
Happy Memorial Day to one and all!

@RestlessButterfly - Haha, yep, Bud can cook!
Beautiful family.
Whoa food! Now I am hungry!
shall I say it.......wow wow and wow. I'm giving newdog2 these recipes, he's the chef around here. He'll have to do it all with poultry though, we don't eat pig or cow, but still.....
for mem day we had chicken burgers and chicken sausages and he made baby hot dogs and sausages with buns and condiments for all three of our dogs, they are so spoiled. it was fun.
Harold, stop. Please stop. This food extravaganza is driving me nuts! You need to open a restaurant on the opposite banks of the Ohio, particularly near Cincy! This all looks so, so delicious!
@Mrs. Buddly - I was just going to comment that I'd be sooooooooo hefty if I lived around them parts! Oh my. Yours and Harold's food looks Food Network worthy! You are Top Chefs in my book!
Looks like a wonderful week-end.
I think my dh will drooooool when I tell him of the pork loin soaked in Coca Cola overnight.
Love the looks at that asparagus too!
Wow..... sure made me hungry!!! Great pics.!!!1
@Roadkill_Spatula - Haha, yep, did some serious eating last weekend, too!
@fauquet - Thanks Michel! If you ever get to the states you know where to go to eat, right?
Man, that's some serious cookage!
You make me sink in an ocean of delights !!!! I feel the taste and the smell from your cooker and barbecue .
All of the dishes excite the appetite ! Your daughter and her children are very kind and visibly love you .
You had a great week end and you seize it with art .
In friendship
Michel
@the_rocking_of_socks - @Joanna_said_SO - @ShimmerBodyCream - @seedsower - @ccrider17 - @ItsWhatEyeKnow - @Cestovatelka - @AdamsWomanFell - @WildWomanOfTheWest - The leftover roast is delicious! I snacked on some of it last night.
@bonmots - I was hawt. It was in the 90's here all weekend!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend, spending it with people you love, and food you love!
@the_rocking_of_socks - Can I cut in line?
I love your family shots
So fun! And that stuffed crab looks interesting.
I haven't eaten breakfast yet and these pictures are making me super hungry!!!!
You live the American dream - great family and friends, and you get together with them for great times!
i'm coming over for left overs!!! omg that pork looks amazing......
I hope one of your sons got your cooking genes. In chess, all it takes is one mistake and it's over. All it takes to finish the food... I see some connection. Wash dishes. Dry them. Put ingredients away. Good lord, that is why slavery should be allowed. I would treat mines real good.
Got any leftovers?
What a beautiful family and beautiful day for you and Mrs. Buddly! YAY! And I KNEW your menu would be amazing!
I enjoyed a similar day and it was wonderful!
HUGS!

@Bricker59 - Michelina's Stroganoff is pretty good. I've had it myself a few times....
They're inexpensive too!
@buddly47 - You have a nice family..Lovely! And your pics have me stuffed more than I already am. (Just got done eating grilled ribeyes, steamed asparagus and corn on the cob!)
Okay Bud...this is totally getting out of hand. I don't think that was family, just actors you hired for this charade.
You mean to drive me MAD with your food posts...question now is WHY?? What did I ever do to you?
I'm nuking a Michelinas stroganoff tonight.5 mins in the microwave and I can almost pretend it's food.
I doubt your parents would be proud of your behaviour old friend!! LOLOLOLOL
Enjoy!!!!! Im jealous!!
You have a beautiful family and yummy looking eats.
Mouth watering post! Looks like a grand weekend, nice looking family, great food. Life is good right?

@Margo73 - @blessedheartbeat - @C_L_O_G - Thanks, guys. It was a very good weekend!
@Mrs. Buddly - Less food? Then what would I do to pass the time on the weekends? Oh, I just thought of something. lol
A good looking family and a tasy looking table!! Just bought the new grill - a Char-broil Red. So far it is grilling perfection!!
