The Thursday Thirteen – 05/21/2015

With Memorial Day coming up this weekend, I’m sure many of you are getting ready to kick off the summer with outdoor gatherings that include lots of yummy food. Forget the hot dogs and hamburgers, they’re just so dull; they really just give us an excuse to munch on the good stuff. What is the good stuff you ask? Why the appetizers of course. I myself could easily make a meal out of them on their own. So let’s get together and nibble as we welcome summer with its delightful warm days and nights, its fireflies that light up the evening sky, and its unique ability to get us to come together with the littlest of excuses to enjoy a spur-of-the-moment feast outside in the sunshine.
