Memorial Day race against the clock

Despite less than ideal weather, Brad & I broke out the grill this evening... and barely finished dinner outside before it started raining!

Tofurkey beer brats, homemade vegan potato salad (adapted from Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's The Vegan Table), and baked beans (usually Amy's brand of canned beans, but got the on-sale Hain kind this year) has become our summer holiday outdoor dining tradition. Last 4th of July we ate this on our balcony while watching the fireworks at Pilot Butte, and two years before that it was Eagle Crest.

As you can see, we had the fire pit going tonight - to make it feel like it wasn't 55 degrees and threatening rain. Although these plates aren't the most photo-worthy, they do put a stop to the maddening you-got-baked-beans-in-my-potato-salad/you-got-potato-salad-in-my-beans mishap that Brad and I had a couple of years ago.
