Throwback Thursday: Holiday weekend

May 21, 2026 · 0 comments

A down-and-dirty post in honor of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, from June 2016.

I’ve always gotten a chuckle when a non-professional cook comes out with a book on food. Are they really offering anything new besides their picture on the cover?

Case in point:

The sample available on Amazon offers just one recipe: Grand slam grilled grapes, which seems to be the only dish to use a baseball term. Most of the food seems pretty standard. The draw is no doubt having pictures of the Hall of Famer interspersed throughout the book. Easy for me to ignore since I’m a vegetarian.

Other variations on this theme include

Happy holidays, folks.
