Now that Memorial Day is past and school is out (or soon will be), people will be firing up their grills, packing picnic baskets and making all kinds of plans for meals al fresco.  I know I will be attending at least three outdoor concerts this summer and taking along a picnic for all guests at the table.  I also love to spend time outdoors grilling meat and vegetables and sharing good food with good friends and soon-to-be friends.  So many foods can be easily grilled for a wonderful noon picnic or an evening barbeque and there is something for everyone--meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, seafood dishes, etc.  If you want to get out of the of the steak and burger rut and try something different, come visit any of our branches.  We have lots of cookbooks and "how to" books to make your outdoor culinary adventures leaving people wanting more.    You will find most of these materials in the 641.5xx call number range.  Or see a list of books about grilling and barbecuing.
