One of our Family Traditions is the "Birthday Person" gets to pick the place to eat for their Birthday Celebration. I always pick Red Lobster.
Well it was Wade's Birthday Saturday, April 11. We all wondered where we would be spending the evening.
Mexican?, a Steak House?, Chinese Buffet?
NOPE!
Saturday morning he puts his arm around ME and whispers in my ear
"Can we cook out at your house tonight?"
and I say "You bet".

First thing was to boil potatoes and eggs for Potato Salad. Then I made a Lime JelloSalad with Pineapple and Cottage Cheese. After that I whipped together an Apple Pie.
The Party was in the making!

That evening AJ fired up the Grill and filled it with Burgers.This was so nice. No one had to get fancied up. T-shirts & Ballcaps, unkept hair styles,
and no make-up were acceptable. Licking fingers, drinking out of pop cans, standing and reaching across the table was A-Okay at
Mimi's Kitchen Cafe.

Since it was Easter Eve, egg coloring was on the Menu also. Egg Coloring is very serious business.

The Birthday Boy retired to the living room after dinner.If you check out the TV there is something going on with Corndogs.
I think Wade is watching the Food Channel.
He is probably planning next year's Birthday Meal!

Back in the kitchen the Girls are still at the egg coloring.These were Tie-Dyed Eggs.
What happened to cups of dye and dunking the eggs?
Technology?
Technology?

The boiled eggs were put into little plastic bags. Drops of dye dropped on them and then squish-squish, rub-rub, and
Taa-daa !!!!
A Tied Dyed Egg!

One good thing, this was not messy for the hands. But you had to really watch the Elbows!

After the Egg Coloring came the Pie. This is one of those desserts that doesn't look "picture perfect",
but tastes Grrrr-eat!

Happy Birthday Wade!
