Labor Day

Every year we go to a Labor Day deck party at my brother and sister-in-law's home on teh Sunday before Labor Day.


There are usually about 20 - 25 people who attend. We always have a good time.

This year I made the potato dish. I decided to make two different dishes.



These are cream cheese and chives potatoes. It's a dish that I'd never made before, so it was a little risky. Fortunately it turned out very good. It's a definite keeper.
I did not precook my potatoes as it states in the recipe. I just put them in the sauce raw and cooked them in my Nesco for about 45 minutes. I also doubled both of these recipes.

And this is a cheesy hash browned potato casserole.




Last year my brother-in-law made this berm with a pond.


I was amazed at how much everything had grown since last year. He has an automatic watering system, so it gets daily water.

It's really coming along quite nicely.
