Chris got a new bbq last fall and it's been sitting idly by, all winter long, waiting for its moment to shine.  We decided that it was finally warm enough to warrant a party, and yesterday was the day.  It was going to be a Cinco de Mayo party, but the 5th isn't until tomorrow, so we called it the Tres de Mayo party until Chris got his spanish mixed up.  It is now called the Tres de Cinco bbq.

In attendance were myself and Chris (naturally), Melissa, Linda, Jamie, Cathy and her man Keith,  Cindy and her man Gabe and her mom Shirley, Loretta and her husband Larry, Shelley and her husband Al, Chris' mom Laurie and Barbara and her man Gary.

The menu?
hot dogs with a mango chutney relish
hamburgers, either jalapeno or feta, with the good buns
deviled eggs with horseraddish (wonderful!)
beans and ginger (I think?)
potato salad
cole slaw (no idea what was in that, but it was good)
coconut or almond brownies
lemon merangue ice cream pie (incredible!)


The bbq was a lot of fun and I'm already looking forward to the next one.  The summer corn should be really great this year, and I'm sure Chris has a million recipes in mind and is working out the menu already.
