Memorial Day was coming and so we made excursions to Sam's Club and Wegman's and Jane invited friends for an old fashioned barbecue. First to arrive were Danielle, Lauren Engelbert and Andre who were met at the train by Jane
and came in to some dip
and chips
while the kitchen was getting ready for the action that would come later
and chips were served
as Danielle tried on Ben's prom hat
and more food was brought out
before the departure to the Straus pool.
Next, Miriam, John Marshall and Sophie arrived
and were soon greeted by the chunky soup bearing
Geofferson.
Once they left for the Straus pool, Suzanne returned
and we poured the beans
into a pot
and began the combination of various ingredients
with this bowl holding the crushed tomatoes
to which were prematurely added the cheese cubes
as the remaining cheese was cubed
and garlic was prepared
so that the cheese could be added
and subtracted (only to be added later)
as the ribs were put forth on their tray
and into the microwave
went the corn
as the (unwatched) pot boiled
and then the parsley
made way for the basil which had to be chopped
as the pasta was drained and added to its mixture
and the asparagus appered
and the chopped basil was joined by sliced tomatoes (half of them or were they sliced in half?)
and the mixture edged towards completion
as the final pieces
were added
and the nut and cheese plate was put out
as the asparagus were prepared
and the pizza dough began a time of suffering.
The swimming crowd returned in 3 cars -- car 1
car 2
and car 3
After brief greetings, the peppers were serve
followed by the dough based appetizers
which caused Jeff to appear with his plate
as Alan and Andre discussed high finance
and Joel
and Ben
took a while to pose together.
Desserts from New York
and fruit from New Jersey were served
followed by a birthday cake
and brownies from a special source.
There were also 5 (count em) kinds of ice cream
as Audrey, the birthday girl, opened her gifts
and amidst the desserts
the New York crowd decided they needed to head to the train
joined by Danielle
after which Andy Ie arrived
and Cara posed in the midget chair.
