It would be around this time that I would normally post a summer bucket list with the activities we hope to complete throughout the summer. This year, as we know, things are very different. I know things are starting to open, but right now I am just hoping to be able to go to the pool! Today’s post is a bit of a mix of a few link ups and questions I’ve found, as well as our monthly Local Tourist Link Up.
First up is May Monthly Musings with Patty and Holly. This month, the questions are about summer foods.
1. Favorite Summer Dish?
Hamburgers!
2. Favorite Cookout Side Dishes?
Grilled vegetables, potato salad.
3. Eating Al Fresco, yes or no?
I like to eat outside if it’s not too hot and there aren’t bugs out too.
4. What foods do you eat more of in the summer?
Grilled foods, watermelon, cold items like smoothies.
5. Share your favorite summer recipe.
I’m not sure I have one, but here’s one for grilled vegetables.
6. Blueberry Pie or Strawberry Shortcake?
I think I’ll go with blueberry pie. I rarely have either though!
7. Favorite summer beverage?
Lemonade, iced coffee.
8. Ketchup? Mustard? Relish? Mayo?
All of the above? I love toppings. And yes I put both ketchup and mustard on hot dogs.
9. Gas grill? Charcoal? Big Green Egg?
My husband says our big grill isn’t working so we’ve been using charcoal. It’s good!
10. Popsicle or Ice Cream?
Ice cream.
Next, I have this series of Post Quarantine Questions which I found via Dani. They come from Kezzie originally. I’m pretending I could go anywhere, no closings and virus issues, no money issues either!
