Normalt er Memorial Day noget med parader og lidt festligheder - ikke noget kæmpe stort, men alligevel noget der markeres. I år var langt det meste aflyst. Vi fejrede sommerens komme sammen med familien Tuthill (vores genbo og gode venner).
Til aftenens fællesspisning lavede Thomas ribs i smokeren. Inden kødet blev lagt på risten har Thomas saltet dem natten over og gnubbet dem i hjemmelavet rub.
Det var en stor succes - de smagte helt forrygende.
Mit bidrag til festlighederne var cupcakes. Røde muffins pyntet med hvid frosting og drysset med blåt sukker - lidt amerikansk må man jo være.

Om Memorial Day
Memorial Day (previously, but now seldom, called Decoration Day[1]) is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who had died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.[2] The holiday is now observed on the last Monday of May, having been observed on May 30 from 1868 to 1970.[3]
Many people visit cemeteries and memorials on Memorial Day to honor and mourn those who died while serving in the U.S. Military. Many volunteers place an American flag on graves of military personnel in national cemeteries.
Memorial Day is also considered the unofficial start of summer in the United States,[4] while Labor Day, the first Monday of September, marks the unofficial start of autumn.
Two other days celebrate those who have served or are serving in the U.S. military: Armed Forces Day (which is earlier in May), an unofficial U.S. holiday for honoring those currently serving in the armed forces, and Veterans Day (in November 11), which honors those who have served in the United States Armed Forces.[5]
