Well, not too soon, I don&#8217;t think Mike can handle more than one dinner event per month.<br \/>\nI wanted a complete no-work menu (no work for me, that is, Mike still had to do the grilling \ud83d\ude42 so I settled for:<br \/>\n-Chips &#038; dip (storebought)<br \/>\n&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/party\/mika2\/potato.html\">Red Potato Salad<\/a><br \/>\nwhich I like &#8217;cause I don&#8217;t have to peel the potatoes to make it.<br \/>\n-Apple &#038; chicken sausages<br \/>\nwhich I found out are not very good on hot dog buns<br \/>\n-Tri-tip<br \/>\nI sprinkled kosher salt on it, let it rest for a couple of hours, and it was absolutely delicious.

Meanwhile I have 3 lbs of sausages to get through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we had a BBQ at our house.
