Labor Day weekend is almost upon us--do you have plans for a picnic?

As I write this, I'm looking at a weather-forecasting website that's informing me that I live within the "cone of possibility" for Hurricane Earl. Unless the storm changes course, there's a good shot that in two days, we'll be starting off a very soggy, windy weekend.

Fortunately, I have a screened-in back porch.  So we don't have to go outside to be outside.  If it's too rainy to cook the burgers on the grill, I can stay inside and make sloppy joes or chili.  Or both.

There are advantages to turning the cookout into a cook-in.  The chairs are more comfortable, for one.  None of the meat will turn into charcoal because the grill-master got distracted.  And we'll get to enjoy our dinner without interference from flies, bees and mosquitoes!
