It’s Memorial Day in the U.S., which is also the semi-official kick-off to summer and outdoor grilling. It’s a busy weekend here in the San Francisco Bay area. Not only is it Memorial Day, it’s the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge’s staggering construction – and, even more importantly, it’s my son’s birthday. We have a busy day of festivities ahead of us, but before I sign off I will leave you with a Memorial Day menu worthy of a national holiday, a bridge building fête, and a birthday BBQ celebration.
Great round up, the Golden Gate turning 75 only makes this Memorial Day much more special….
but, your son’s Birthday on the exact same double-decker celebration occasion… takes it over the top!
Happy Birthday to him, and enjoy your ultra-special Monday…. 😉
Lovely recipes and ideas! I really like the potato salad.
Cheers,
Rosa
Enjoy this special day – your recipes are making me feel like summer truly is around the corner…
What a great lineup. I kid you not we made blackberry spritzers yesterday. Have a great weekend and happy birthday to the bridge and your son!
Happy memorial day! I hope you have a great day – that lineup of food looks delicious.

What a lovely roundup!! Happy Birthday to your son, and Happy Memorial Day to your whole family. Still in sunny Maui enjoying the mangoes 🙂
Sounds like you had a very fun and busy weekend! And the food line-up….DELICIOUS! I didn’t find a link to any of the recipes??? Hopefully they weren’t staring me in the face! 🙂
Thanks, Kathy! I fixed the links – it was a crazy day yesterday!
I know you had to have had a great weekend of celebrations. A terrific roundup of ideas.
I hope your son had a wonderful birthday! Every item on that menu looks superb! You had me at Mojito!!
