After looking at the grocery ads, I wonder if I'm missing something. According to the ads, I should be buying lots of picnic/cookout foods for the weekend. I realize that many families do have a cookout so that is to be expected.
Sometimes I feel guilty that I don't go with the norm. On a holiday weekend, I often fix things that I have time to fix instead of a typical menu. I did pull out a couple of steaks to defrost in the fridge. I probably won't be fixing them on the grill. I think I may sear the sides, then put them in the oven to finish with a little butter on top. I hate to admit this, but doing the charcoal grill for two little steaks often seems hardly worth the effort. Maybe if we had a bunch of folks it would seem worth it, but running in and out of the house seems to be a lot of labor.
I think we will have baked potatoes (I'm already using the oven) and possibly a vegetable casserole as well as sliced tomatoes.
Not fancy, but a treat -- we don't do steaks very often.

We were going to have steaks. However, my brother called and invited himself and my nephew for dinner. @@ Although, my brother only has my nephew every other weekend and we haven't seen my nephew in about a month and haven't seen my brother in over 2 months. Soooooo ..... we're going to have hamburgers, potato salad, corn on the cob and jello.

Here's to swimming against the school. Its probably a bit cheaper (not greatly) but decidely more restful when one does things differently than every one else. These days, the norm is nuts anyway.
