USA labor day in NA

so, we had to celebrate the American Labor Day here cause we hadn't broken in our charcoal grill yet and it was the day before Ramadan, which wouldn't really allow for us to be able to use the grill for the next month. so, i emailed my aunt to once again get the family recipe for German style potato salad. started by boiling the potatoes.

then cooked up the onion, bacon (yes some friends found a pork butcher here!), mustard, vinegar, and water for the potato salad.

oh, look at that grill in action. these weren't our burgers, but the burgers of friends. it was quite a smoky evening, but a lot of fun and full of good Labor Day-isque foods!

my plate was filled with the potato salad, bean dip, veggie bake, a BBQ, grilled pork chop, and veggies! it was a lot of fun. hope you guys had a great Labor Day, too.
