Holiday Weekends

What do typical people do on holiday weekends? This past memorial weekend was my first one ever in my 13 year food career to have off. I am used to catering to the public every tastes, watching them have a great time slipping beers while indulging themselves in my ever so delectable meals.

This Holiday, didn't know what to do. I tried to relax like people do, but that was boring. I took my two furry kids on a walk everyday but it only lasted an hour or two and then what else was I suppose to do. So I decided to work anyway, researching new recipes and mixing different flavors together in a meal. Then, I decided to make 2- 5lb Beer Can Chickens on the Grill with my new BBQ Spice Rub that I just created. 2.5 hours later, it was tasting time to see if my new BBQ spice rub tasted as good as it smelled. Let me tell you, it was delicious. I served it with Chef's Baked Beans, a recipe that I created this weekend. I sure hope the next holiday is better than this one. I guess I will have to plan better.
