The Suisse Family Robinson

Reed turned 30 last week and he had asked for no presents and just a small party.  I acquiesced to one of those requests and it wasn't the party.  I figured reaching such a milestone deserved a medium-sized party so we invited family and close friends to a cook-out at Highbanks Park.  It turned out to be a beautiful evening and the food was delicious.  We had specialty brats and sausages, grilled zucchini and portabello mushrooms, pasta and potato salad, watermelon, and for dessert 30 pieces of chocolate covered bacon.  Delicious.  We had tried chocolate covered bacon at the fair and loved it so I looked up a recipe and it was mucho easy.  I had a couple different toppings- almonds, pecans, brown sugar, and coconut.  My favorite were the pecans!

Happy Birthday, Reed!
