So last weekend we had temperatures in the middle and upper 90s. Today the high was 49. Almost a 50 degree change. And rain. We haven't had much rain for weeks. Not even in April. My fitness center had a senior appreciation lunch for us yesterday. Usually it is held inside but this year they decided to have a picnic outside. Of course, the weather turned cold and windy as they were setting everything up in a big tent. I like being outside. I am outside a lot, especially on weekends. I was surprised at how many of my friends don't go outside at all. Lots of complaining. The food was good-chicken kabobs, corn on the cob, cole slaw, brownies with whipped cream, chocolate chips, nuts and cherries on a plate drizzled with chocolate and maple syrups. The kabobs and corn were cooked on a big grill. There was a demonstration on making all kinds of healthy kabobs by a staff member who previously was a home ec teacher. She stressed quick, healthy, inexpensive, delicious dishes and passed samples around. One kabob she made was two spears of asparagus with cherry tomatoes and turkey bacon wrapped around held together with tiny metal skewers. 8 minutes on the grill. She also made a dish with a big yellow squash (acorn, maybe) precooked in the microwave so it was a little soft. This was then sliced into rings, the rings were covered with slices of pineapple and put into a grill basket. 6 minutes on the grill. Presentation is everything so these rings were then put on a plate and sprinkled with feta cheese and dried cranberries. Yum. We all got free t-shirts. There was a raffle and. of course, Bingo. A good time was had by most in spite of the weather.
