It's not really a recipe per se - put equal parts sugar and water in a small pot (I think I did around 1 1/3 c each) add in some chunks of ginger and mint sprigs. bring to a simmer until the sugar dissolves, then let cool with the ginger and mint in there. i smushed the ginger and mint against the grains of the sugar before it dissolved so get more flavor. when it's cool, put through a fine strainer, and press on the remnants to get all the flavor out.

Add around 1/2 c of lemon juice to pitcher, add in simple syrup, and fill with water. Adjust lemon/sugar levels to taste. (I did it that people put it over ice when they poured it so it didn't get diluted as it sat).

Re: who is BBQing today?

We BBQ-ed yesterday but it was just the two of us (and a toddler) so we kept the menu small!

We made:

-Veggie Platter w/Dip
-Fruit Platter
-Pizza Bites

-Hamburgers (specifically Taco burgers-- doritos, red hot, cumin, garlic, black pepper, cayenne, chili powder, and topped with cheese, avocado and salsa)
-Chicken Wings (using the buffalo wild wing sauces)

-Kale Chips

-Lemon Meringue Pie
-S'mores
-Raspberry-Yogurt Ice Pops


Going to another BBQ today.

Re: who is BBQing today?

We had a family party yesterday so we're BBQing today.

We live in an apartment but have the indoor/outdoor George Foreman, so I guess it still counts as BBQing

Our neighbors may be stopping by so we have a few appetizer foods like mozzarella sticks, cheese platter, pizza bites and a veggie platter.

We're making hot dogs, frigadellas (which are like inside out hamburgers)
and chicken/pepper kabobs with fries.

We just got back from St. Lucia a few weeks ago so we're also going to try and make our own take on the rum punch we got there!

Hope everyone has a nice MDW

Re: who is BBQing today?

we had family over and kept it really simple because I didn't want a ton of leftovers. Spinach dip and a veggie platter for apps, hotdogs, hamburgers, marinated chicken on the grill, homemade pasta salad, potato salad and a chocolate cake trifle for dessert.
