It is a fantastic, beautiful fall day. The kids are out of school, it is warm and sunny and I think we will cook and play outside tonight. Brats and hot dogs are always fun.
To go with them I will steam potatoes is the microwave, season them with ranch dressing mix and finish cooking them in a pan on the grill. The last of the summers tomatoes will be yummy tossed in cornmeal and fried. They don't have time to ripen anyway. And of course, those of you who know me also know I have lots of okra in the freezer. I will pull some of that out to toss on the grill, too. Just drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper well and grill till very brown.
I might even make a pea salad (I don't know anyone who eats it but me and my parents). Layer chopped lettuce in a bowl, top with a can of drained and rinsed peas, the cover with mayo and sprinkle with bacon bits and Parmesan cheese. It is a very cool summery dish. This may be the last summery night to play outside and I intend to enjoy it. I hope you do the same.
