That was the one day our family didn't even cook. We either prepared enough for that day, the day before, or bought take out. We also took Sunday drives, after church. Driving out into the country and exploring.

[@laurajanyoung3187]

I could almost see the kitchen as an eat-in kitchen with a family table there in the middle. Maybe a sofa nearer to the rocker and front door somehow. ??? Just an idea.

I am still pinching myself. Family BBQs are great traditions. Your boys are engaged with their projects, making childhood memories. Meg must be thrilled with her kitchen and space for taking care of Lily. In these times it is a good to make you home your castle. We have done that and are so grateful! It is all coming together so well for you and your family. Dinner looks great!

[@stellaz2595]

The way I do potatoes: Cut into chunks with skin on (like you did). Mix 1/2 and 1/2 butter and oil, melt in the oven. Add srachicha sauce and garlic powder (or fresh sliced garlic) and salt. Mix with potatoes. Top with shredded parmesan. Bake at 375 for 40 minutes. Another good way to do them is to pre-boil the potatoes, then roast in the oven. Makes a crunchier potato. I also use yellow potatoes rather than Idaho.
