Recipe(tried): Collection: Party Recipes
Holidays, Celebrations Hi Texan,
Here are the recipes requested, hope you enjoy them as much as we do....for Memorial Day, the food should be a medley of past and present. Some of these recipes evoke the flavor of Grandma and some appeal to the new generation. Cold drinks are highly prized on a hot day, if there are children to be invited, remember to omit the bourbon from the lemonade. An old-fashioned galvanized wash tub filled with ice and stocked with bottled beverages allows the guests to help themselves.
Purchase inexpensive little flags for decorating food platters, use red, blue and white napkins, cut out stars out of carambola starfruit to decorate your lemonade glasses....
Let the celebration begin....
