Adult Happy Meal

BBQ'd pork side ribs (garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt done in the oven at 250F for 3 hours and then finished on the BBQ with BBQ sauce) served with smiley fries and fresh blanched green beans.

Serious Home Fries

Aggressively fried russet potatoes, sweet onions, mushrooms, BBQ'd bacon and finished with some chunks of old cheddar. Ideally this is all fried in the bacon fat. This is definitively a complete meal containing all the food groups!

Zucchini Tofu Stir-fry

Stir-fried zucchini and firm tofu with sweet onions and fresh garlic in olive oil. Served with steamed brown rice and topped with some hot sauce.
Frying outside in the summer is a good thing :-)

Shrimp Pasta Salad

Shrimp Pasta Salad made with sweet red and yellow peppers, celery, sweet onions, parsley, salt, olive oil, cider vinegar, and rotini. Some might like this served with bread :-)
