This week's Party for the Midnight Madness Blogaversary Celebration is a BBQ Party! We would like you to share anything that pertains to a BBQ. By posting a comment on the Midnight Madness Blog, you will be entered in our random BBQ comment contest! It could be your favorite recipe, favorite game, family picture or just a fun story. We would love to see what you would like to share with us and in return, the design team have all picked out one of our favorite recipes to share with YOU! So, as you drool over all the fantastic creations this week, you can also drool over the yummy BBQ dishes. Have fun!
My favorite memory is when we went to my Great-Aunt's house for a huge family reunion BBQ! There was games like croquet and volleyball, tons and tons of food, and hand-churned ice cream for dessert! It was a fun day where we just ate and played and rolled down the hill!! Once on my own, I made a salad that my dad fell in love with and the recipe is below:
Tomato Egg Salad
Large beefsteak tomatoes
sliced cucumbers
sliced red onion
Sliced hard boiled eggs
3/4 cup Italian Dressing
1/4 cup White Vinegar
Toss vegetables and eggs with dressing and vinegar, and stir occasionally to coat veggies. Keep cold until serving. You can add other veggies if you'd like, such as green peppers, carrots, etc.
Here is my creation for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #54:
I stamped Ansley's Surprise Gift using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper white cardstock. I aged the image with Distress Ink, colored with Copic Markers, then cut it out. My designer papers are from an old paper stack called "Life's Journey". Card size; 5 1/2 x 6 inches
But that's not all!! The sponsor for May for Midnight Madness is PB Stamps (they stock retired and new Penny Black stamps) and their prize this month is to give 5 lucky winners 15% off everything in their store for the rest of their lives!!! What a fabulous offer! Hop over to the Midnight Madness Blog to read more about it!
