Evening in Mendon

 The rent a church right down the road is super busy this time of year, at least two a weekend, once or twice there have been two a day. It's a good deal for sort of one stop shopping somewhat traditional wedding days , in sort of a church but with out the church trappings. They have built a nice sort of tent addition on to the back and added a nice lighted patio - Koda really wanted to be in this photo.

 This lovely young bride and her smoking hot husband to be were just walking around this parking lot today , taking pics all over. It is not filthy or anything, but normal parking lot dirt and grass.. it what looked to my eye a very expensive dress... these kids today

 The morning rain cleared out to a very nice afternoon/ evening. All these clouds went away giving us a blue sky later on. A nice night for Koda and I to grill out

 DINNER

BBQ CHICKEN

 Red POTATO and Fresh CORN SALAD*

w/ grape tomatoes

Summer Greens Salad

* this was easy and very good, a little twist to the normal potato salad.

Just boil some red potatoes, I get the non tiny ones, I like the texture more and they are cheaper. 

Grill your fresh corn, out of the husk - I made this yesterday, and did the corn in the house, just putting it in a hot black skillet- turning it over and over, make the house smokey, but it worked, the grill would be better.

When the corn and potatoes are cool, shave the corn off the cobb into a big bowl. Add equal parts mayo and sour cream ( really as much as your family likes) salt , pepper a little lemon juice and a scant quarter to half teaspoon of toasted cumin - really gives it a smokey outdoor taste. Just put your small mouth of cumin in a dry pan and toast for just a couple of min, sort of shaking it around a bit. Will change the whole flavor of the spice- and add a very nice touch to the salad. Mix into dressing

Lightly toss - then add the tomatoes tossing a bit more to cover all. Something green would have been nice , parsley or tarragon or something, but I didn't have anything...
