Holiday food

Every day is a holiday when you are retired. But Ed and I both prepared meat for tonight. Oops. He rubbed ribs and I prepped chicken wings. Decided to just cook them both today and then no cooking tomorrow, Labor Day. 

Tried a new method where you make a rub which includes baking powder. Supposed to make them crispy. 

Turns out, it worked.  Will douse them with Ranch dressing and Frank’s hot sauce. Wait no Ranch! Sure don’t want to go to the store. 

Made my own!!  

I was craving potato salad so I had to make that too. Love these little yellow bowls Mom bought me back when Target was new in town. We couldn’t get enough of it. 

Ed’s ribs look good too. 

Goodbye to another icon. My front porch swing rotted through. Had lots of good times there. From having a G&T out there when we were the only house here in the woods to watching the shows the kids loved to put on for me there.
