Long Weekend
Happy Memorial Day! (Also, Happy Swedish Mother’s Day!) We’ve made good use of this weekend so far, both by taking care of some items on our long ToDo list and having some fun.
Here’s some highlights:
We grilled some brauts and corn on our new grill. The brauts were great, but this ear of corn just didn’t look that tasty after cooking it - I think it was past it’s prime. It sat on the grill until we were done eating and looked pretty pathetic.
After riding for a year, Thomas felt he was finally ready to take me on his motorcycle, so he drove me over to the grocery store. Luckily, his spare pants, jacket, and helmet fit me, but I’ll say that I’m in no rush to go out and get my own bike.
Our freezer and pantry are overflowing, so I made chicken spaghetti casserole - a favorite of mine from Mama C. I was able to clean out the leftover BBQ chicken from our Rehearsal Dinner, some linguine I accidentally bought instead of spaghetti, cream of mushroom soup from the back of the pantry, cheddar cheese, and a little red pepper.
This version was actually really good, but the true recipe can be found here:
Also, we saw Shrek 3 (cute), Cowboys and Angels (not that great), and Hotel Rwanda (complex but good). I’m not sure what we’re doing on our day off of work tomorrow, but I’m sure we’ll find something to do. Have a great weekend.

Did you grill the corn without the husks?
Try grilling it with the husk on - it acts like a little steamer. Yum!
You can pull out the silks first then close the husk back up and pop it on.
Nah, we grilled with the husk on. Thomas just peeled it off when it was done and saw that it was already bad, so he set it back down on the grill until we were done eating. We also usually soak them in water before grilling.
I have never grilled corn. It is too easy to pop one in the microwave for 2 minutes. Don’t know how long that would take for several even if you were where a microvave were available.
