Since the pool's been open, we've been grilling like fiends, even with all the rain we've had. Or I should say, I marinate, Mr. Babe grills. Today was ribs that I dry-rubbed this morning. Yesterday was good old burgers and dogs, and Saturday I marinated some loin lamb chops in soy sauce, red wine and rosemary (or, as one of my daughter's friends asked, "Why does the meat have pine needles on it?" LOL). In the past 8 days, we've had people here for dinner 5 of the 8. I'm exhausted. Someone else better be cooking for me tomorrow!

At least I was smart enough to make enough macaroni and potato salad on Saturday morning to last the whole weekend!
