This is an updated version of a post that appeared in August, 2012. There are more delicious dishes than last time!
Hi, darlings! I want to give you some ideas for your Labor Day cookouts, picnics, clam bakes, or whatever it is that you do to celebrate the labor of the, um, we remember the people who? OK, what the hell are we celebrating for Labor Day? Unions? Yeah, it’s unions. It’s gotta be. Right?
Whatever. It’s an excuse to get out of town, drink, eat and enjoy a long weekend. And for your holiday weekend, here are some dishes that would be welcome at any shindig….
Barbecued Chuck Roast! Look how deliciously charred that piece of beef is! And it’s paired with a corn relish. And that’s a macaroni bake. Who doesn’t love Mac & Cheese?
Yum. This was delicious!
Also, your guests will marvel at the 8th Wonder of the World: Frosty Melon:
This potato salad is the best potato salad I’ve ever had and would be perfect to bring to a pot-luck.
Or this lovely linguine salad!
Another option is to bust out the slow cooker and do a Yinzer take on BBQ Pulled Pork with my Pittsburgh Chipped Ham Barbecue Sammiches with Church Lady Slaw.
These sammiches really are delicious, you guys. And cheap! I want one right now.
Do you have to bring dessert to a barbecue? How about the classic Watergate Salad?
Ruth is a boss and knows what she’s talking about when it comes to molding things.
Speaking of molds, Perfection Salad could be just that–perfect.
So there ya go. Those are just a few ideas. So don’t say I never did anything for you.
Happy Labor Day! I’ll be back next week!
Happy Labour Day….I hope you make more of that potato salad…it looks awesome! xx
Happy Labor Day to you too. Keep up the good work.
