hawiian burgers

Since Memorial Day (or any summer holiday really) is synonymous with BBQing, Dana and I took the opportunity to try out some new burgers. We were literally the only people still in town this weekend, we spent the morning laying out by the pool and working on our tans. Took a break for church. Then came back together to BBQ.

We hung out on the deck and admired the new "lakefront" view that the recent rains had pooled in the unfinished tennis courts behind the house. We grilled burgers with some BBQ sauce, grilled fresh pineapple, the stacked the pineapple on top of the burger and added a slice of cheddar to melt on top. Delicious! These Hawaiian burgers, along with corn on the cob, chips and homemade salsa were a delicious meal. Afterward we watched the Memorial Day services broadcast from the National Mall. I may or may not have cried.

And this is the picture that will inspire my diet. Yikes.


Dropping some knowledge on y'all (I didn't know this until I wiki'd it):
Memorial Day - commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service.
Veterans Day - honoring military veterans alive today.
