We even put up the new hammock I bought last year.<br \/>\nOur friends Desiree and her kids were over, as well as Parker, Donovan and their kids.  A good group.<br \/>\nDesiree brought a salad and brownies for dessert.  I made a <a href=\" http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/party\/mika2\/potato.html\">potato salad<\/a>, which everyone liked.  I also barbecued some chicken thighs using the method outlined <a href=\" http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/BARBECUE-GLAZED-CHICKEN-106565\">here<\/a>.  I didn&#8217;t make the BBQ sauce but used E&#038;J barbecue sauce instead.  I managed not to burn the chicken this time (OK, I only burnt it a little), and it tasted pretty good.  I did have to adjust the time, as thighs cook quicker than a whole chicken.<br \/>\nThe main dish, however, were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/blog\/2004\/05\/blue_cheese_buffalo_burgers.html\">blue cheese burgers<\/a>.  This time I used ground beef and also added bacon bits (fried bacon that had been crumbled) to the blue cheese and made the burgers with 1\/2 lb of meat each.  They were huge, but people did eat them.  Mike thought they were &#8220;awesome&#8221;.<br \/>\nI had some corn to grill, but I completely forgot about it.  Oh well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was Memorial Day and I had a BBQ.
