This afternoon was the traditional departmental Memorial Day picnic, which Steve and Stephanie were kind enough to hold at their home. Though Steve's barbie is by definition Australian, the fare was traditional American - hot dogs, hamburgers, and lots of interesting potluck salads and desserts, including Holt's bourboned pecan cake (the South, having risen again, will sit right down and get happy after a piece of this). But alas, like last year, it rained (is there a hoodoo on Australians hosting Memorial Day in America?), and we couldn't do the Latin play Holt had planned. (General wailing and gnashing of teeth).
A lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers demands a light dinner, so that night we made a couple of lovely salads with fresh mozzarella and herb dressing.
