Weekly Menu

.
This weekend, besides being Memorial Day weekend, is my mother's birthday. She's turning 69. She has already warned me against any celebrations next year (killjoy), so I decided we should definitely celebrate this year. One of my brothers and his family is coming from Maryland, a few of my mother's friends will be here, as well as my "local" brother, and my mom's brother and his wife (my aunt and uncle) who are nearby. Just a small get-together, with appropriate cookout food and, as my mother requested for some odd reason, Brownie Hot Fudge Sundaes for dessert.

There's no menu on Saturday because we'll be running from softball games to grad parties. And on Tuesday, I'm helping to cater lunch for the faculty at our son's all-boys school. Because of an apparent shortage in volunteers, I'm making a potato salad, a pasta salad, and two big desserts -- which I'll have to make the day before. I don't know if I'll be cooking dinner on Monday, but I'm putting brats and dogs on the menu as the most I'll be cooking!
