Anyone have any good ideas for approaching all of this calorie-dense food while still enjoying the unofficial start of summer?
I think there's too much salad and not enough bacon
What kind of half-arsed day is that?
Baked beans come out of a can
With Heinz on the label

See, this is why it is important that you give us all the information before we give opinions. You left out a key factor. Now you have to balance stomach room with brisket on yeast rolls, against potato salad and pea salad. I'm afraid some of the salad may have to go.
There are no cakes or pies because we have those for dessert more often during the year and cobbler says summer.
NO CAKES N PIES?!?!!
I understand that you feel cobbler is a summer time treat , but just consider this..... One of your guests could have a peach allergy . at that point, they would be forced to have plain ol vanilla ice cream . would that be fair to them? NO!
What type of host are you? You haven't thought of those with peach allergies and are also trying to pass off too many salads as side items.
Memorial day is fast approaching. I would suggest redoing this menu . be considerate to those who do not want fruits and veggies, and bake a delicious cake instead.

How are people supposed to help you log properly and plan for this day if you're not giving us all the information?!

In your case, I'd start with a hefty serve of the brisket and ribs, with a decent size dollop of each of the salads and the beans. have a short break, with a couple of brewskies to help aid the digestion, then hit the cobbler with ice cream, and finish with the fruit salad if you still have room.
DISAGREE!!!
Why should he wait until almost last for the ice cream, cobbler, and fruits?!?
IMO, I would eat those more delicious items first. Then move on to the other stuff later.
The day after my half marathon I ate ice cream for breakfast. Sorry, not sorry.
I have eaten ice cream for breakfast many times. Its a great start to the day ! Breakfast of champions!!0 -

"Plain ol vanilla ice cream"? I think you've been making ice cream wrong. Even so, they can put fruit or chocolate syrup or strawberry-jalapeno jelly on it if they don't want to leave it unadorned.thorsmom01 wrote: »DeguelloTex wrote: »

vanilla ice cream with strawberry jalapeno jelly? I need this.0 -
Do I have to tell you that there are beans in baked beans, too? Or peaches in peach cobbler? Of course there's bacon in baked beans.DeguelloTex wrote: »

Yeah, corn on the cob probably is the most obvious missing item. We might have to revisit that, but a traditional menu is a traditional menu. I'm not sure changing it, even for the better, is the way to go. Although, a chipotle compound butter to go on it might swing the balance.queenliz99 wrote: »Where's the corn on the cob in all this?
