Food Truck Cookout

This afternoon my mom, dad and I headed to my aunt’s house for a Memorial Day cookout. When we arrived, I was surprised to see my cousin’s husband in the driveway with his new BBQ food truck up and running, serving food to the party guests.

Kommie Pig serves BBQ pork and spicy chicken in both sandwiches and platters, smoked ribs, and hotdogs with a variety of sides to boot.

I opted for a BBQ pork sandwich and tried out the potato salad and coleslaw on the side.

The sandwich was great, a little spicy but nothing I couldn’t handle, and the sides were AMAZING. Both were really, really good but the potato salad with egg, dill and cucumber (?) in the mix was my favorite of the two.

If you live in the Baltimore area, keep your eyes peeled for the Kommie Pig truck and definitely treat yourself to some tasty barbecue if you come across it. Word on the street is they frequent Towson in the late night hours for all of those bar-goers heading home for the night.

Drunk college students + barbecue sandwiches and french fries = sure sale at 2:00 a.m.!

That’s some pretty smart businessmen if you ask me.

Pair the delicious BBQ with some pasta dishes and salad from my aunt along with a variety of cupcakes from a second cousin and homemade Italian cookies from a great-aunt and we had one heck of a Memorial Day cookout.

There really is nothing like an afternoon with family, friends and yummy food!

Question:

Do you like BBQ?

Do you visit food trucks often?

This Just Screams Summer

I finally broke out my boat shoes today for the first time this summer and I remembered just how much I love them.

It really is the little things. 🙂

After an insanely crazy day at work, it was finally time to head to my parents for a cookout and crab feast.

One of my favorite summertime activities!

Once the table was prepped, we loaded it up with a ton of steamed crabs.

Crab soup.

And steamed shrimp.

The whole group of us did quite the damage and took a little breather while the hotdogs and hamburgers were on the grill.

As soon as they were done, we all manned up for round two!

I had a hotdog with ketchup and onion.

And corn on the cob on the side!

Steamed crabs and corn on the cob scream summer to me.

Ahhh, I love it!

And what’s any meal without a little dessert?

My Mom made chocolate covered strawberries and blueberry clusters – so delicious!

I’m back at the apartment now with a completely stuffed belly and ready to hit the hay!

I was actually ready for bed about 4 hours ago but mustered through for the sake of good food and good company…

…ok maybe it was mostly for the food!

Just kidding! 😉

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Back to the grind tomorrow morning – Woohoooo!

Question:

Do you have a certain food that screams “summertime” for you?
