T-Minus 3 Days (Trinity Butter)
Memorial Day food preparation was very light,but a lot of cleaning was done yesterday. I had Row help me make compound butter for the steaks, or what I called it: Trinity Butter. The Holy Trinity in cooking is salt, pepper and garlic, so I included roasted garlic, Himalayan Pink Sea Salt, and fresh ground black pepper to a mortar and mixed them together. Row called it tri-ology butter, and I had to let him know that was the study of threes! He meant to say trilogy butter, since it had three main spices. I'm good with that...
The Trinity Butter was placed in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend, and small pats will be placed on top of the freshly grilled steaks on Sunday.

T-Minus 4 Days
We are getting ready for our friends to come over on Sunday for Memorial Day. We hang out in the front yard: no electronics for the kids, food, beer, pool (baby and kiddo) appetizers, steaks, Baggo, football toss game, hammock, other games are being planned, as well as our semi-annual 80's music trivia game. Why Sunday? Gives us all a chance to relax and recover before work. I'm sure our house will be invaded by the neighborhood kids.
I am slowly ramping up the preparations (cleaning and food) this week, and will make "What I did today" type posts.
Sweetheart had two adult cherry Cokes in Branson, MO and we are replicating our own version. The Maraschino cherry syrup is drained and replaced with Cherry Moonshine so that the cherries become little alcohol bombs of goodness. Cherry Coke anyone?
Two ounces of mung beans were started on Monday with a 24 soak, then rinsed and drained every morning and afternoon. These will be used for an Asian appetizer that I have planned. More to follow on this little delicacy...
The menu is firming up to look like this:
Hors d'oeuvres
Asian Plate Appetizer (meat, mung salad, rice,and spicy dipping sauce)
Jalapeno Poppers
Teriyaki Chicken Sticks
Main Menu
Tenderloin
North Carolina Cole Slaw (family recipe)
Potato Salad (family recipe)
Brussels Sprouts
Grilled squash, zucchini, and red peppers
French Fries
Evening Snack
Frozen Cheese Pizzas topped with grilled veggies and steak (leftovers)
