The weekend, succinctly

I'm behind on regular blogging following the New York trip, so bear with me while I play catch up IRL and on here! Last weekend, when we returned, we barbecued with a couple of friends who live downstairs. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long, sad trip: whipping grilled veggies and meat (including the meat mentioned here) into amazing concoctions of salads and burgers, laughter, and a few furry pals––all what I consider to make up the perfect "Grownup Barbecue."
