Anyone making something special for it?
My husband has a family tradition of a special meal that day but he
said it's not any one special dish (like Thanksgiving etc.). He did
recall well though that it was a family affair and everyone had a small
job or (once older) dish to make. He said they also added a small yard
project but always something to 'improve the house or yard a little'.
We've picked a simple project here. I have a little plot of dirt
bordered by sidewalk and driveway. It's about 8 inches front to back
and 2.5ft long. We are going to weed it then fill with more gardening
dirt and put in some flower seeds.
Shopping tomorrow as we are out of fresh fruit. Don wants to make his
green bean dish which means I make a white sauce with lots of white
melty cheeses (guryere sp? and havarti appeal). Acorn squash with
brown sugar. He wants me to make baguette-type bread and prepare some
garlic butter.
I'm thinking a whole cleaned trout would be good but shall see what
wonders the store has!
Rest of you? Any traditions?

I've not seen for a few years.

"Memorial Day" is not a set date and it varies.
It's always the last Monday of May.

I'm sure you do. Easy to Google.
Honoring all military people that died fighting in
all the wars since this country started.
Maybe oddly, I've never known anyone personally that
died in Vietnam or any other war since then. Also, don't
know of any relatives that have died in any war.
During WW2, 4 of my uncles fought...3 in Europe against
the nazi mess and one in the Pacific against the Japanese.
They all came home after (with no serious injuries) and
lived to very old ages. Still one alive now. He's like
age 95, still lives alone with 6 indoors cats.

already went to Tops this morning and bought potatoes, BOGO, so ten
pounds. Got three pounds of broccolli crowns at 99｢/lb, and a 2 lb
London broil (top round, $3.99/lb) that I just put up for a short
marinate. As I indicated, nothing exciting.

another post, nice London Broil (3.49lb). The London Broil was sliced
up and marinaded in sugar cane vinegar, soy sauce, worstershire and
garlic powder then set in the dehydrator.
Start steamer for green beans. Takes a bit as mine is a no-muss
no-fuss stovetop model.
The Catfish will be a simple one. Place sliced portabella mushrooms
with butter in cavity.
Mix 1 egg, 1/2c milk (or buttermilk), splash of beer. Set aside and
make a mix of 1 cup white flour, 1 cup corn flour and if you have them,
some breadcrumbs. Add seasonings of choice (Cuban Island Spice blend
here). Soak fish in liquid while large cast iron pan heats with canola
oil (corn oil acceptable). Coat fish with mix and fry approxiately 6
minutes (3 per side).
Let drain on paper towels while preparing white sauce with slices of
havarti to lace over steamed fresh green beans.
Leftover 'dough' is made to hushpuppies by adding the liquids to the
base flour (mine needed a touch more cornmeal) which are then added to
the oil and fried.
Call it 12 minutes if a well laid out kitchen.

beef jerky.
We did the catfish for a late lunch since they looked good at the store
and they had no trout.

doesn't that ruin the taste of the mushrooms?
