Did you know Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day? No, it wasn’t about craft projects like you’d find on Pinterest today.
Traditionally, the day was set aside to decorate graves with flowers, wreaths and flags. This tradition dates back to 1868 following the Civil War. Whoa! Don’t worry, I didn’t know any of this either. I am not that old. I was doing some research for this email, and I thought it was kind of interesting.
Now, I know people like to picnic for Memorial Day, but I have a better idea – let me do the cooking instead of you standing by that hot barbecue grill in the sun. If you want some heat, try my Pepper Jack Stack. It comes with two strips of bacon, BBQ, and, of course, pepper jack cheese, which sounds really yummy. You can even get cheese fries with that too! Then, you can finish that off with a milkshake or an apple pie a la mode to cool your palate.
Now doesn’t that sound better than sweating outside and smelling like smoke?
