Memorial Weekend Eats
Jun 2nd, 2011 by Alex
This past weekend was non-stop rush of social events, good company, and amazing food. I love it when a bunch of people get together in a shared kitchen and cook for the group. No one sits idle for too long, everyone pitches in. It’s a good time, a great way to get to know people better, and of course the outcome is a happy stomach full of homemade food.
We made a medium-sized batch of MegaTots, which for the uninitiated is a casserole composed of tater tots, molten and shredded cheese, diced bacon, and ranch dressing.
Then there were the hand-formed beef/pork burgers, topped with shredded cheddar, bacon, and a homemade Memphis-style BBQ sauce.
Then there were hand-formed falafel patties, pan-fried in olive oil and served in a pita with hummus, cucumbers, and freshly made Tzatziki sauce.
And for the health-conscious there was roasted asparagus too!
And that was just last Sunday night…
