As summer is about to begin and we respectfully honor those who perished for our freedoms, we gather with friends and family. Memorial Day festivities include traditional food such as BBQ, burgers, and outdoor-style food. Try something different. Try making individual nests of coleslaw filled with boiled shrimp. These make great starters and are perfect to serve during warm weather. May Dad served in the Navy and I honor him for his service. Let’s celebrate our freedoms because of those who blazed the difficult trails before us. There can be no cause without remembering the reason. © Kelly McBride Loft
