Dang, you go all out. :P Sounds nice. We are a bit more laid back, even with guests. We always do cereal, oatmeal, yogurts, etc with fruit for breakfasts Monday-Saturday. Sundays we do something a little more involved (french toasts, waffles, pancakes, crepes, omelets, eggs, bacons, sausage, biscuits, gravy, potatoes, broiled tomatoes, that kind of stuff---NOT all at once, but some meal with some of those things, on Sundays). Lunches are either leftovers, sandwiches/fruit, or pasta salads. If I have guests we may do more involved sandwiches, but still sandwiches lol (grilled cheeses where it's feta, red onion, tomato, then cheddar.....or reubens and home fries.....or a good pasta salad). Dinners, I do cook though.
This year's labor day, my dad, his wife, my 8 year old sister, my grandpa, and my uncle are all coming out here to see us...this is V E R Y rare, so I'm serving grilled sausages, pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, potato salad, home fries, garden salad, a relish tray, my homemade spinach artichoke dip with sliced baguettes, and a veggie tray. I'll make my own dip that goes with my veggie tray. For dessert and to snack on, I'll hollow out a watermelon with a round scoop and serve a fruit salad in it. I might add an apple pie from a little shop that does great fresh baked pies.
We'll play at the beach during the weekend, but on Labor Day when everyone seems to go, we'll stay around the house and visit, eat, do the family thing.
