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
*fact*
This is why there's no such thing as British food tourism. Well, part of why.

Pre-log. Eat some of everything in reasonable portions.
Don't make enough food for 100 people if there are only 10 people at your house.
Re-think the menu a bit. Maybe do some grilled vegetables/fruits instead of salads.
Potato salad is somewhat sacred in my family so it would be a must have item. Baked beans are pretty standard. What is in a pea salad besides peas? I would jettison peas from the menu. Fruit salad could go too.
Skip all other food and just eat peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream.0 -

The problem with not making enough for 100 if there are only 10 is with the variety of dishes. It's hard to make really small amounts of some of the stuff.DeguelloTex wrote: »Memorial Day will be here before you know it. Usually we smoke brisket and ribs.

The pea salad is peas, boiled eggs, finely grated cheddar, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and some mayo to moisten it.
In an emergency, I could just eat a mound of brisket and then the cobbler and ice cream.0 -

I feel like that would actually have a pretty good macro split.0 -

This is why you have high levels of obesity ...you call stuff like that "salad"0 -
You haven't figured out Memorial Day 2016 yet??? Pshaw...that's so fall 2014.
It's Independence Day 2017 that's going to be the REAL problem. I'm already clutching my pearls fretting over it.0 -

They could be the whole menu as far as I'm concerned.
Well, followed up with peach cobbler, of course.

We use Oaxaca cheese, some with shrimp, some without, wrapped in bacon. They are so awesome.0 -

This is why I always ask for lettuce and tomato on my bacon swiss cheese burger. It's a salad.0
