Happy Summer!

Hello again readers! Sorry again about the radio silence - there's a reason this blog is called Heavy Tines you know... I've been a busy gal, both eating and enjoying the summer. There hasn't been much time spent in my kitchen lately, but that doesn't mean there's been a shortage of food! Here's a recap of our Fourth of July festivities:

Fourth of July weekend!

S. and I took a trip with a couple of friends to Tahoe! As they say, you go to Tahoe for the winter, but you stay for the summer. I don't really remember who They are, but it's true. With warm days, cool nights, a lookout over the lake for fireworks and a cozy cabin deck for bbq, our Independence Day weekend was perfect. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite get pictures of food before it was mostly ingested; sorry, I was hungry. Those of you who know me hungry know that I put black holes to shame.

Potato Salad

Of course we had to have potato salad at our barbecue! It's all american. But with the parsley, dill, and dijon, it was slightly fancier than your run of the mill costco potato salad, and all fresh too! Yum. me.

Corn on the Cob was courtesy of our grill master for the night, C., who was also responsible for the bbq tri-tip (not pictured because we ate most of it before I whipped out the camera. Also, I had sticky rib fingers (see below).

Baby Back Ribs

Those aren't my fingers, they're S.'s fingers. You'll also notice there's not much meat left on those ribs, I think he was hungry too. If anyone's interested, I have a post-bbq picture of S. slumped over in his chair with his eyes glazed over and looking pretty satisfied with himself. Come to think of it, that's post-any meal.
