Arriving around 4 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon, we just have enough time to unload/unpack before it's time to head outside for our daily, informal 5 o'clock gathering known as Circle Time.
We all bring a cool beverage and an appetizer.
Visitin' happens.
After the Sunday morning 2-hour outdoor photo session when my mother takes pictures to use for the family calendar my parents produce, we picnic together.
Everyone brings their own plate outside for more visitin' because we all believe ~
Food and meal-times shared
have always been thought of
as a closer kind of communication
than simply talking to people,
without eating together.
Here's what my week of menus looks like ~
Sunday: Krispy's Fried Chicken (purchased locally),
Steamed Green Beans,
Sliced Tomatoes, Pickled Okra,
Monday: BBQ Pork, Baked Beans, Coleslaw, and Brownies
Tuesday: Summer Herb Pasta with freshly grated Parmesan, Steamed Asparagus, Rice Krispie Treats
Wednesday: Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Sandwiches, Corn on the Cob, and Fresh Peaches
Thursday: Frogmore Stew aka Low Country Boil, Caesar Salad, and Birthday Cake
Friday: Leftovers Picnic = Fun idea where everybody clears his/her 'fridge in preparation for leaving. Kind of like a pot luck (providence) dinner!
That's all for now.
Gotta get ready for Zumba class.
Addendum ~
Favorite B'fast = Hard Boiled Egg, Fresh GA Peach, Black Coffee
Favorite Lunch= Gazpacho and Pimento Cheese on Frito Scoop
looks like some of Saturday's butter beans made it onto Sunday's buffet
